LiveOffice Archives Exchange 2010

LiveOffice, provider of software -as-a-service (SaaS ) email archiving, email hosting and email continuity solutions, has become the first email archiving provider to support Microsoft  Exchange Server 2010. In addition to providing the e-discovery, mailbox management and compliance benefits of email archiving for Exchange Server 2010 users, LiveOffice’s hosted email archiving solution reduces the time and cost of migrating to the new platform by moving existing email data to a secure cloud  prior to migration.

"We’re seeing an increase in the number of inquiries for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and strongly believe that the implementation of an archiving solution from a provider like LiveOffice is a great first step in any email migration plan," said Brian Babineau, senior analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. "Organizations considering an email upgrade should begin archiving now, so that they can better focus on the logistics and planning of the actual migration next year. This strategy ensures that companies can securely access all of their legacy mailbox data in the cloud immediately, while minimizing the time and complexity associated with the actual migration."

‘Pre-Migration Diet’
To make the transition to Exchange Server 2010 smoother, LiveOffice provides a simple process for shrinking the customer’s Exchange data stores prior to moving, thus speeding up the transition process:

• LiveOffice Personal Archive: First, clients enable journaling on their existing mail servers to LiveOffice’s secure cloud to capture data, which effectively eliminates the need to migrate that data. With Personal Archive’s robust architecture, end users are able to view all archived email from the comfort of their Microsoft Outlook client.
• LiveOffice CloudMerge for Microsoft Exchange: Next, clients can leverage LiveOffice’s proprietary CloudMerge technology to automatically and securely transfer data from existing Microsoft Exchange 2003 or 2007 mail stores to LiveOffice Personal Archive. Again, this data will be available for view by the end users directly from Microsoft Outlook.
• LiveOffice CloudMerge for PST Files: LiveOffice’s CloudMerge technology is also able to securely ingest an organization’s PST files into the centrally-managed, hosted archive – eliminating the most common source of data loss and IT headaches.
• ‘Skinny Migration’: With all historical and ongoing email securely stored in LiveOffice’s cloud-based archive, IT administrators only need to migrate a small amount of data to their upgraded Exchange 2010 environment.

Finally, an organization’s relationship with LiveOffice doesn’t end once the migration is complete. With legacy data safely ingested into the cloud-based archive, organizations can delete messages from the mail server as needed to help improve server performance  and reduce the risk of data loss. In addition, auditors and other authorized personnel have easy access to a centralized archive of messages where they can perform advanced searches and retrieve data on-demand from the archive to satisfy legal and compliance requests. Simultaneously, end users have access to their personal archives and can instantly find emails and attachments they need, even if they no longer reside in their inbox or on the corporate mail server.
