The typical business email user sends and receives over 100 emails in any giving day – a volume that rapidly fills the Microsoft Exchange Server. The volume of emails slow down email server, whitch in turn slow end users, and drives them to bad behaviours such as deleting emails, creating PSTs, and printing hard copies.

 

Research indicates that Exchange administrators are challenged by six major issues:

• Moving Users from Exchange 2003-2007 to 2010

• Mailbox quotas

• PST maintenance, proliferation, corruption and cost

• Disaster recovery and recovery concerns – including email restriction

• Exchange backups – with completion issues

• Retaining emails for internal inquiries or investigations – litigation preparedness

• Overworked and slow Exchange servers

 

You can address all six with just one email archiving solution, Professional Archive Manager for Exchange.

Professional Archive Manager for Exchange is an award-winning product that stores emails and their attachments on media separate from the overworked MS Exchange Server. The archived emails can be retrieved and restored with a few simple clicks.

Key Benefits

Email Preservation
Professional Archive Manager for Exchange archives all emails sent and received (or emails sorted by user, mailbox, etc.) their attachments, and –optionally– legacy PST content. End Users and Investigators can retrieve everything in an instant.

Reduced Costs
Single Instance Storage (SIS) saves one copy of an email sent to multiple recipients and compresses it into a smaller footprint before archiving. The original email remains on the mail server until you replace it with a link to the archived copy. The quota includes only the size of the stub, which shrinks the size of Exchange mailboxes dramatically and provides end users with an UNLIMITED MAILBOX. Metalogix customers typically see dramatic reductions in storage and time needed to back up Exchange.

User Transparency and Productivity
Professional Archive Manager for Exchange has successfully archived billions of emails and has made over a 3,000 customers more productive. End Users see very little change in the appearance of an archived email versus a live email.

 

Key Features

PST Importer
Scattered PST files are difficult to locate and delete. Professional Archive Manager for Exchange collects and archives all system PST files, herever they are located.

• Gather PST files from across the entire company network
• Import PST files effortlessly
• Provide choice of automated or manual email archiving
• Integrate PST files into Professional Archive Manage for Exchange’s archiving

E-Discovery
Without archiving, email typically exists on backup tapes and local workstations. Finding a specific email can take weeks of costly searching by IT staff members and pull them from other priorities. PAM for Exchange enables any investigator who has access privileges to search archived email easily and quickly. Legal-hold can be applied to messages so that disposition is suspended. Auditors can tag emails to classify and export search results.

Email Lifecycle Management
Minimize information management headaches caused by regulatory rules, storage optimization, and disaster recovery. The Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) archive engine controls the retention policy for each archived email, and how long it will remain in short- or long-term storage. Set retention categories for single messages, mailboxes, or distribution groups. PAM for Exchange moves emails to long- term storage on your defined schedule and deletes them at the appropriate time.

Data Disaster Management
Protecting email integrity and consistency requires a fail-safe way to automatically retrieve emails and their attachments should a Server outage occur. PAM for Exchange continuously replicates data off-site and makes archived emails and attachments accessible in seconds via a dual write of the content on the fly.

Global Email Management
Geographically dispersed organizations need a scalable solution that can adapt to the requirements of different locations. PAM for Exchange manages multiple domains of MS Exchange environments in locations worldwide that have specific location IDs. It can be fine-tuned for operations during the day or night, during PST archiving jobs, for parallel archiving, or load-balancing retrieval over different locations. This enhances operations between sites, improves business continuity and manages disaster recovery with mirrored locations.
