Archival

Management and archival of email

It's no secret that the amount of email being sent and received is growing.  In fact, according to research from Gartner, business email will grow by 25%-30% through 2009 as more and more businesses come to depend on email as their main method of communicating with suppliers, partners and customers.

And as enterprise data grows it consumes terabytes or more of expensive storage.  Storage dedicated to old or infrequently accessed data not only wastes precious space, but it also costs time and money to manage, maintain and backup.

Storing emails appropriately, keeping the email secure, providing 24/7 access for all employees whilst maintaining reliability and minimising costs; all must be managed at the same time as being able to archive emails and records, policy management and general enterprise content management.

Implementing a central archival framework for email will enable an organisation to take advantage of a number of benefits; storing content on the appropriate storage platform as defined by its value to the business, indexing of mail and attachments that allows users to quickly and easily search for and retrieve information, plus reducing the cost and administrative burden to internal systems.

Consolidating your storage resources and then reducing the size of the email system can realise significant operational benefits including improved system performance and accessibility, and helping to reduce the time taken for backup and restores.  If an archival strategy has already been deployed by an organisation, it can also be applied to other areas of exposure such as file servers and for content management.

In any scenario, Morse can work with you to evaluate your current situation and help you develop security, compliance, storage and archiving strategies that include:

• Which new laws and regulations will impact your business and IT department
• Which technologies can be used to archive email, content and data most effectively
• Helping you to optimise your storage as well as reducing costs and simplifying management
