CloudPrime can store copies of messages for tracking and archiving purposes through the use of its patented, secure and distributed data stores on the network. The customer and recipient can each view message-level information through the MyCloudPrime.net portal, including time stamps for transmission and receipt. In addition, since the Online Data Stores retain complete copies of transactions, they can be retrieved in their entirety to verify contents. This redundant data management system, with its instant retrieval functionality, provides a secure and authenticated mechanism for validating transactions among business partners. All messages are stored encrypted in XML wrappers with a hash to assure their authenticity. This is particularly crucial for customers requiring non-repudiation of their mission-critical business messages. Optionally, customers can choose to have their messages "discarded upon delivery" to prevent later retrieval.
