Solutions for Email Archiving
Next generation energy efficient disk-based storage systems
Email volumes and usage have exploded in recent years, with storage requirements increasing by an order of magnitude or more. Businesses large and small are facing numerous challenges today in managing their growing repositories of email, including:
- Compliance concerns - Email required to be preserved and proven unalterable for many years based on new compliance regulations
- Storage management concerns - Exploding volume of email to archive. Limited available storage space means that users must periodically either delete email or archive it offline
- Discovery concerns - Troublesome retrieval of email from traditional tape or optical archives when required for legal discovery or compliance can cost companies tens of thousands of dollars
Nexsan’s Assureon archive appliances help businesses meet the real-world challenges of email archiving. Assureon provides secure, cost-effective means to retain and protect growing volumes of email, yet keep them online and instantly retrievable. Businesses can now keep a complete archive of all their employees’ email messages without requiring them to regularly clean out their email inbox and decide which messages to keep in order to free up space. At the same time, Assureon appliances dramatically reduce the time required to backup current, active email by offloading archived email into a separate, secure repository.
