Email Archive Solutions

Efficient and affordable storage for high-performance archival and discovery.

E-mail archival solutions simplify administration, increase reliability, and enhance productivity of your primary email infrastructure. With the proliferation of e-mail, organizations are challenged with growing primary storage costs, unmanaged PST files, high litigation support costs, increasing compliance requirements, long backup and restore windows, and poor e-mail server performance.

The Solution NetApp, in partnership with leading archival solutions, meets real-world archival and discovery requirements by offering a simplified architecture that delivers rapid access to information, flexible compliance storage, and maximum data protection at a low total cost of ownership. NetApp enables you to leverage a "single-box" solution, giving you lower operational costs and the flexibility to archive both compliant and non-compliant volumes in the same array. As a result you can effectively manage e-mail growth utilizing policies and journaling; facilitate rapid search and discovery for litigation support; ensure data integrity, confidentiality, and privacy; and allow you to back up, replicate, and recover the archive in the event of unplanned downtime or a disaster.

NetApp archival storage solutions are proven and interoperable across platforms, providing you a safe choice for effective growth management.
