StoredIQ for Exchange 2010
In addition to StoredIQ’s existing ability to index, search and retrieve email messages managed within prior versions of Microsoft Exchange, StoredIQ now provides the same support for Microsoft Exchange 2010. Unlike competing solutions, StoredIQ can manage all mail items stored within Exchange 2010 including calendar items, notes, tasks and contacts. StoredIQ is able to index both private and public mailboxes and can do so on a per mailbox or per server level. Furthermore, StoredIQ seamlessly integrates with Exchange 2010 in-place legal hold functionality, as well as the new Exchange 2010 Dumpster, providing unabridged visibility and access into corporate email, including email that has been ‘permanently’ deleted by the user.

StoredIQ for SharePoint 2010
As in previous versions of SharePoint, StoredIQ can either copy or move unstructured data into SharePoint, populating attributes such as authors, title, subject or setting retention values. This capability can accelerate deployment of a new content management system by automating data location, classification and transfer. StoredIQ can also copy or move data housed within SharePoint to another repository using automated legal hold retention policies, improving the overall eDiscovery process.

"With deep platform integration into Exchange 2010, StoredIQ taps into and augments new native Exchange eDiscovery features including legal hold and the redesigned dumpster," said Nick Patience, research director, information management for The 451 Group. "By adding support for Exchange and SharePoint 2010, StoredIQ continues to broaden its already comprehensive connector strategy for an eDiscovery solution that manages identification, preservation, collection, processing and analysis across all data sources from a single user interface."

StoredIQ Simplifies Connection to Data Sources
All of StoredIQ’s Intelligent Information Management Platform data connectors were designed and built by StoredIQ from the ground up, optimized for performance, scalability, and depth, and with particular attention to the eDiscovery-centric issues of audit trails, chain of custody, and data/metadata preservation.

StoredIQ’s connectors are agentless, therefore do not require installation of any software on the data source, nor any additional, interceding hardware such as a gateway. This design feature is critical to any large enterprise deployment in order to enable scalability and maintainability. In addition, many data sources have specific Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that prohibit the use or installation of additional software agents. In this way, StoredIQ is unobtrusive to the IT ecosystem and facilitates rapid deployment.

StoredIQ’s connectors, including those for Microsoft Exchange 2010 and SharePoint 2010, are included in the Intelligent Information Management Platform for no additional or future costs. StoredIQ’s connector set is one of the broadest in the industry, and includes integrations with email systems and archives, storage file systems, workstations, NAS systems, retention platforms, document management platforms, directory services, and WORM archives.
