Description

Email is the default file transport system in most organizations: an Osterman Research survey conducted in 2008 found that nearly one-third of emails contain attachments and 95% of the information that flows through email systems in the typical organization is attachments.

However, while email is a very easy way for users to send files, email systems were never designed to handle this load. When users send large attachments through email, it can create a variety of problems, including:

  • Poor email server performance, including slow mail delivery
  • Higher costs for storage
  • Slower backups and longer restores
  • The risk of losing sensitive information

Also, when file size limitations prevent users from sending large files through email, they often will use overnight courier services or FTP as alternatives, resulting in higher costs and/or greater security risks.
