IBM and Microsoft don't typically come to mind when you think of companies that work together on storage products.
Dell and EMC? Sure. But IBM and Microsoft? High-tech is full of surprises.
IBM and Microsoft said they will sell their customers IBM's System Storage DS4200 Express pre-loaded with IBM's System Storage Archive Manager software and Windows Server software as a fully functional e-mail archiving system.
The system will allow medium to large-sized businesses to store e-mail for long periods of time, an important chore at a time when regulations are forcing more stringent rules about retaining e-mails and other files.
