Definition
Move emails and attachments from primary mail servers onto lower storage tiers systematically for long-term retention and accessibility.
Challenges
- Managing growing storage growth due to email
- Managing growing email stores that create inflated backups and unstable systems, requiring additional budget and expensive primary storage (quota limits create end-user headaches, which drive underground archiving via PST/NSF files and introduce information risk)
- Eliminating time-consuming, complicated, and disruptive migrations and upgrades
- Applying and enforcing retention policies across emails, attachments, and personal archive files
