PLEASANTON, Calif. – May 18, 2006 – ZANTAZ, Inc., the global leader in Information Retention and Discovery Management (IRDM) solutions, today announced it is positioned in the Visionary Quadrant of Gartner Inc.’s 2006 Email Active Archiving Magic Quadrant report, which examined email archiving products with the scalability and functionality to support thousands of users within enterprise environments. The report, titled, “Magic Quadrant for E-Mail Active Archiving, 2006,” was published May 12th and was written by Gartner Research Vice Presidents Carolyn DiCenzo and Kenneth Chin.

Gartner, the leading research and advisory firm with more than 45,000 clients worldwide, evaluated the vendors against holistic criteria that included the company’s vision, execution, market understanding, sales strategy, innovation, business model, market responsiveness and track record, and customer service experience.
