MessageOne Enhances Email Management
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on December 20, 2007 at 3:38 pmlocal .PST files and legacy on-premise archive solutions. By
centralizing distributed email into a single archive, MessageOne
provides companies with complete control over email retention policies,
compliance, e-Discovery and litigation holds.
Email archiving has become essential for e-Discovery, storage management
and compliance. However, archives are only as useful as the messages
they contain. In order to truly centralize search, discovery and
retention management, companies need to ensure that every email is
stored in the archive. If not, litigation or compliance audits may
require companies to complete expensive manual searches for messages
stored on local desktops or in legacy systems.
Centralizing Messages Stored in Exchange, .PST and Legacy Archives
MessageOne’s new advanced import capabilities streamline the email
archiving process by ingesting distributed messages into its
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) EMS Email Archive. EMS is able to import messages into the archive from three different sources:
- Microsoft Exchange – EMS harvests messages
from Exchange for any set of users and retention periods. Unlike other
solutions, EMS can easily be configured to import for diverse time
periods for different classes of users. For example, seven years of
messages can be imported for regulated users, five years for executives
and 90 days for other users. - Local .PST Archives
– .PST files are local email stores that are convenient for users but
risky for administrators. When litigation occurs, it can be expensive
and time-consuming to find messages stored in local .PST files. EMS
Email Archive is able to import messages stored in .PST files into the
archive. Since .PST files do not include essential mailbox information
and metadata, EMS Email Archive automatically associates .PST files
with the correct mailbox, restoring metadata that is essential for
e-Discovery, litigation holds and retention policy management. - Legacy On-Premise Archives
– Many companies are migrating from slow and expensive on-premise
archives to SaaS solutions like EMS Email Archive. MessageOne’s
advanced import capabilities streamline migration by importing messages
directly into EMS. Many on-premise systems capture messages without
important metadata needed to enable legal and end-user search
capabilities. EMS Email Archive solves this problem by intelligently
associating imported messages with the original mailbox metadata.
By making it easy to collect and import millions of distributed
messages, MessageOne is helping companies regain control over email
management,” said Satin Mirchandani, CEO of MessageOne. “Once email
messages are centrally archived, MessageOne can help CIOs control
retention and deletion, eliminate downtime, and better support
compliance and litigation strategy.”
Centralized Email Archiving Eliminates the Major Risks Facing CIOs
In a typical company, one thousand email users generate
approximately 25 million email messages each year. For CIOs and other
IT executives who are responsible for managing messages, email has
become expensive and fraught with risk. As email retention becomes an
essential component of compliance and litigation strategy, CIOs are
forced to manage retention, deletion, search and discovery of millions
or billions of messages.
MessageOne EMS is designed to help CIOs painlessly address these
problems. Once messages are imported into the archive, MessageOne
allows IT administrators to centrally control essential email
functions. Today, EMS is the only SaaS archive to provide a
comprehensive suite of email management capabilities to enable
administrators to:
– Manage retention and deletion policies
– Execute litigation holds
– Complete e-Discovery searches for litigation
– Eliminate email downtime
– Provide disaster recovery for lost email data
– Reduce the size of data stores by as much 80 percent
– Provide sub-second end user email search
