ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 15, 2010 -- The Linux Box Corporation's first commercial software product, an advanced email archiving, retrieval and reporting system, has gone live in a community edition and is available for free download at www.enkive.org.
Enkive™ Community Edition (Enkive CE) is an innovative and comprehensive open source solution. It helps organizations of all sizes address the problem of e-mail retention for business intelligence and legal and regulatory compliance. Enkive empowers organizations to easily store email while retaining control over their email system, IT infrastructure, information and processes.
Osterman Research, Inc. recently released a whitepaper regarding regulatory requirements for archiving e-mail and other electronic content. The Linux Box has developed Enkive to help businesses and organizations meet these requirements. You can download the full whitepaper here.
When the Internet and World Wide Web finally went mainstream in the mid-1990s, new Unix-like operating systems running on PCs went mainstream too.
Developers working on these systems had access to a wide range of development tools, but these platforms didn't initially offer anything like the mature, SQL-based and 4GL-based database frameworks common on traditional platforms of the time; commercial database vendors were in no hurry to remedy this situation. Ironically, several commercial RDBMS products were originally based on open source code developed by Michael Stonebraker's Ingres project at Berkeley.
"[The Linux Box] says that its software addresses issues of regulatory compliance and also offers some litigation support. As well as reducing storage costs by eliminating redundant messages, it also has an advanced search option that searches attachments too."
ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 26, 2010 – Demonstrating the highest standard of accountability and customer service principles, The Linux Box, a software development company specializing in open source technology, has earned ISO 9001:2008 certification.
Instead of producing a one-size-fits-all e-mail archive, as offered by the usual-suspect international vendors, The Linux Box's Enkive e-mail archive allows IT managers to tailor their long-term e-mail storage to fit a company's specific requirements.

TechRepublic: Who said Linux couldn't make you money?
Many times I have considered this very thing: Open a consultancy that focused primarily on Linux and open source. I knew there had to be a way to make it work. Many scoffed and said it couldn’t be done, that open source wouldn’t sell. Of course now that I’ve been working with a consultancy firm I see how easy it is to make money supporting Windows (it breaks ALL the time!). Linux, on the other hand, is a hard sell to those who make money babysitting operating systems.
But someone has done it, and done it well. That someone? The Linux Box.
The Linux Box launched the Enkive open source email archiving and retrieval solution at the AIIM International Exposition + Conference in Philadelphia this week.
Email is an important aspect of corporate communication and increasingly is treated as an aspect of records management, thus archiving has emerged as a significant evolutionary step in the email management life cycle.
PHILADELPHIA, April 20, 2010 – A new email archiving software system that enables companies to better handle regulatory compliance and storage issues has been launched by The Linux Box Corporation.
Called Enkive™, the open source email archiving and retrieval software empowers organizations to easily store email while retaining control over their IT infrastructure, information and processes. It was unveiled here at the AIIM International Exposition + Conference.
