4. Customer Challenges E-mail Archival & Compliance
Treating as mission-critical information
Providing better storage utilization in the face of data growth and longer retention periods
Preventing the modification or loss of archived messages and important documents
Meeting growing regulatory requirements for data permanence, security, and confidentiality
Lowering the overall cost of archiving

5. Traditional Methods Used to Archive E-mail
Users archive their own messages and files
Unreliable and may use more storage
Impossible to control
Frustrating to users
IT centrally controls archiving
Archive to primary storage
Expensive and may not be compliant
Archive to WORM tape
Slow and expensive search for legal discovery
Inflexible retention policies
Archive to optical WORM
Slow, unreliable, and low density
No easy disaster recovery options

6. Additional Management Concerns Retention and Compliance Issues
has become mission-critical
Complex rules and regulations
Sarbanes Oxley
SEC Rule 17a-4 (6 years)
FSA, GISC and Law Society (up to 7 years)
Companies Act 1985 (6 years)
Extensive retention and compliance requirements
Long-term retention
Quick, reliable search/retrieval and real-time reporting
Adherence to best practices and auditable processes
Litigation support
Risk is no longer restricted to IT
