Seaside Software and KeyComputing have developed Xkey, a solution for Microsoft Exchange Server users that securely stores all Exchange data in a key-sized appliance. You plug your Xkey into any USB-compatible PC or thin client and Xkey can save Exchange message information. Xkey provides Triple DES (3DES) encryption and contains an embedded Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN to secure communication between Xkey and your Exchange server. Xkey works without requiring software or any configuration. Pricing is $139 for 128MB of storage on the Xkey.
