Symantec Enterprise Vault

Optimized Single-Instance Storage

• Optimized Single - Instance Storage (OSIS) reduces the archive footprint for better total cost of ownership. OSIS allows the archive to share commonly repeated data between archived items like email, SharePoint documents, file system documents, reducing the footprint down to only one copy in the archive regardless of source.
• Integration with deduplication technology enables the combination of backup and archive data to further reduce the archive and backup data footprint. A broad range of technology partners and supported platforms gives customers freedom of choice and flexible archive deployment options.
• Intelligent archiving enables selective retention of critical vs. non-critical information, reducing the costs associated with search and collection of electronic data.

Next Generation End User Experience

• Virtual vault allows transparent access to archived items from familiar interfaces like Outlook, Notes, or Windows Explorer meaning there is no separation between live and archived information.
• Access via Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices allows users on the go to search* and access to archived information anytime anywhere.
• Access to information stored in PST and NSF files via Outlook Web Access and Domino Web Access.
• Simplified E-Discovery with Guided Review and Legal Hold capabilities for distributed teams that require centralized access and need less independence on IT.

Simplified Deployment, Administration and Management

• New installation process and setup provides recommendations and default settings based on industry best practices to get Enterprise Vault up and running in minutes.
• Common Tasks dashboard makes day-to-day administration simple by providing quick access to common tasks and operations within Enterprise Vault.
• Enhanced policies for flexibility allow users to “re-file” archived messages for new retention requirements.

Discovery Accelerator with Guided Review

• Helps users explore search results by prioritizing or clustering the results to perform better early case assessments and understand both the higher level view and specific details.
• Guided Review reduces the time and cost of reviewing search results by providing multiple views and facets for a given search.
• Reduces costs of legal discovery with powerful end-user, legal and administrator search capabilities.
