EMail Archiving

Implementing email retention, compliance or e-Discovery software can be one of the most important tasks an organization performs. Without a solid policy behind the software investment, companies risk wasting time and money.

IT professionals have a critical role in ensuring the success of email retention, compliance, or e-Discovery software implementations. The first step is to decide who should be involved in defining your organization’s email policies. Understand how your business is affected by various government and industry standards, and then take the time to carefully think out your policy, documenting each step. Typically, there are two reasons an organization buys a third-party product to enforce email policies; space requirements (archiving) or legal issues (e-Discovery and/or compliance rules and regulations). Regardless of which need is driving your purchase decision, you’ll want to begin by developing an email policy.

NavigateStorage has specialize in Email archiving....now files too since 1991. We have two hosted solutions and an On-Site.

Unified Storage

Business requirements change often and IT requirements change with them. Some applications are best running on a Network Attached Storage, such as applications where the data is shared by many users. While other applications such as data intensive enterprise applications prefer block-based I/O.

The benefit of Unified Storage, like a Swiss-Army knife, it can provide all three, in one array, thereby saving you money.

Unified Storage: "Unified Storage is a single, integrated storage infrastructure that functions as unification engines to simultaneously support Fibre Channel, IP Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) data formats.
A unified storage system simultaneously enables storage of file data and handles the block-based I/O (input/output) of enterprise applications. In actual practice, unified storage is often implemented in a NAS platform that is modified to add block-mode support."

Don't be afraid of the old MAID

MAID as a technology has been around for an eternity but MAID, or massive array of idle disks, certainly isn’t dead. MAID technology has now found its way into standard disk products from Nexsan. It looks like MAID is taking its appropriate place as a technology option in a disk array solution and not the primary reason to buy it, which brings us to VARs.

MAID as a technology has improved — some are calling today’s version “MAID 2.0.” New versions offer multiple levels of MAID instead of just the drives being turned off. These more granular spin-down modes have corresponding degrees of power savings and access times, making them appropriate for more data sets. Some systems also change the MAID level automatically, based upon access history of the RAID group.

Whatever the case, MAID is here to stay. With this improved functionality and its status as a technology option for disk systems.

NavigateStorage specializes in Storage, Email Arching, Backup and Kaspersky AV. Nexsan is a proven storage with MAID 2.0. Whatever your needs might be contact Jim at 978-318-9000

"Atempo Delivers Block-level Deduplication to Time Navigator with Atempo HyperStream Server
New Module Maximizes the Efficiency of Storage Systems and Reduces Bandwidth Use for Remote Office Data Protection

Palo Alto, Calif., 6/15/2009 - Atempo, Inc., a leading provider of cross-platform data protection and archiving solutions, today introduced Atempo HyperStream Server, a new module for Atempo Time Navigator that delivers block-level deduplication capabilities to the company’s flagship high-performance backup and recovery solution. This key new feature is optimized for midsize and large organizations seeking to cost-effectively maximize the utilization of their storage systems, as well as for companies that require powerful and efficient enterprise-class data protection for their remote or branch offices where block-level incremental backup is preferred due to network bandwidth limitations.


Atempo HyperStream Server is a stream-oriented storage service that allows backup data to be sent to a storage server across high and low bandwidth connections, while performing block-level deduplication across and within the streams. The new module effectively eliminates redundancy in storage media by identifying identical blocks of data on multiple systems and only backing up the changed blocks, significantly reducing both the amount of storage and the network bandwidth required. In addition, Atempo HyperStream Server supports extremely efficient block-level replication from one unit to another over local- or wide- area network connections, which combines the advantages of fast local restore and disaster recoverability for both data center and remote office backup."
