When giants awaken, the world should take notice

Martin Tuip — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 16:22:46 +0000

How Exchange 2010 handles archiving and retention

Martin Tuip — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:00:30 +0000

As expected the archiving functionality in Exchange 2010 created quite a bit of a buzz with people and most have been wondering how in reality the archiving functionality stacks up against traditional archiving products like Mimosa NearPoint.

Stuck on an another archiving platform and want to move?

In honor of Sys admin Day my post today is a little bit more technical and I want to go over the scalability of a SharePoint Farm deployment.

EV Continues to Struggle with Indexing

Bob Spurzem — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 22:35:21 +0000

One of the little known facts about Enterprise Vault is that its Automatic Classification Engine (ACE) is based on technology from Orchestria. Did you see the announcement that Orchestria was purchased by Computer Associates last week?
