Features to Consider While Deploying Archiving Solution


All these requirements lead to a long list of features that have to be supported by a real archiving solution tailored to the SMB. Requirements such as:

  •  User ID management
  •  User Transparency
  •  Capture capability
  •  Extraction capability
  •  Deduplication
  •  Compression/encryption
  •  Retention capabilities
  •  Storage capabilities
  •  Meta data capabilities
  •  Search capabilities (search in search)
  •  Litigation hold/Case management
  •  Examination (compliance, questionable use)
  •  Record destruction procedure
  •  Platform support (HW, SW, OS, Mail, Client)
  •  Index/Data Base Architecture
  •  Data protection solution capabilities.

An SMB must carefully choose which email archiving solution to deploy. If the wrong solution is chosen, the SMB’s email troubles will double instead of disappear.

The ubiquity of email within an SMB continues to pose a number of challenges in the areas of storage, mail box size and secure information retrieval. Sonasoft offers a comprehensive portfolio of products for data recovery, exchange backup and recovery, email archiving and data protection.

Sonasoft ensures that data and applications are protected at all times so that the SMB business continues to run smoothly without any disruption. Sonasoft provides simplified storage and quick, easy access to critical data all at cost effective price points targeted for the SMB budget.

Sonasoft’s Email Archival solutions, SonaVault, is designed to meet regulatory compliance needs of organizations. SonaVault Email Archive systems will capture all incoming, outgoing and internal emails and store them in archive databases as a Single Instance Store (SIS). Also, by use of optional stubbing feature, message contents including attachments will be saved in the archive database and leave behind an empty shell of the message, namely stub in the body of the email. Alternatively messages can be completely deleted from users mailbox and users can access archived emails through SonaVault Web Console. This approach will reduce the size of the Exchange server by up to 90%. SonaVault  Email Archiving Software solution supports Exchange Server 2000, 2003, 2007 and 2010. SonaVault solution employs reliable safeguards, including encryption to ensure that the email is tamper-proof and cannot be altered. The solution gives the ability to migrate all existing PST file data into the archive repository. This enables organizations to eliminate PST files proliferation across the enterprise, thus resulting in better email management.
