Reduce Email Storage Costs, Streamline eDiscovery, and Speed-up Email Recovery Times
As email grew into the dominant form of organizational communication, storage costs began to explode. In response, organizations tried to limit the amount of email stored on expensive production systems with mailbox quotas. Unfortunately, quotas only drove underground archiving into PST files and external media − creating nightmarish and expensive eDiscovery.
First-generation archiving products only served to create additional challenges because they impact the Exchange server – either through MAPI crawls or journaling. Only Mimosa NearPoint™ for Microsoft Exchange delivers on the true promise of comprehensive email archiving, providing:
Complete and flexible Exchange email capture –NearPoint’s Continuous Application Shadowing captures not only messages and attachments, but all Exchange data, including calendar items, tasks, contacts, drafts, and item histories. Alternatively, organizations can choose to use VSS capture against Exchange 2007 active or passive nodes with continuous cluster replication (CCR) from Microsoft. For those with many small, remote offices, NearPoint also supports a MAPI option for distributed, or selective capture of a key set of custodians
Integrated recovery and disaster recovery – with full data capture, provides the ability to quickly restore data to Exchange in the event is it accidentally deleted or a site goes down
Advanced eDiscovery – NearPoint's eDiscovery application provides ability to delegate permissions and workflow to Legal and HR teams to search, analyze, review, and export all archived content and to apply litigation hold at an item-level
Records Management – Customers can leverage automatic classification against metadata or content to set retention and tag content as business records.
Compliance – customers in regulated industries can proactively monitor content within emails and attachments via the NearPoint Content Monitoring application, and can use the NearPoint Tiered Storage Option for support of write-once, read-many (WORM) storage devices
Mailbox management with seamless end-user access – because NearPoint captures all Exchange data, customers can aggressively purge Exchange to save storage costs while providing easy access to information directly in Outlook and OWA
