Email Archive Migration

Email Archive Migration

The decision to move to a new e-mail or archiving service should not be constrained by the risk of losing data. Similarly the need to move users between different locations or archive products (e.g. as a result of a re-location or merger) should not threaten the accessibility or manageability of your corporate data.TransVault™ is a high-performance software application that securely migrates and consolidates e-mail and other related records from one environment to another, ensuring future accessibility - regardless of the chosen archive, messaging platform or storage medium.

Migration is fast and entirely transparent to users, eliminating the risk of downtime and significantly reducing the costs and IT overheads normally associated with moving large amounts of data.TransVault also avoids the costs and inconvenience of maintaining ‘islands of data’, allowing the lifecycle of information to be centrally managed and any e-discovery requests to be conducted against a single data repository.TransVault is the key to ensuring 100% data availability with 100% user transparency, whilst minimizing risks and costs to your business.

A Next-Generation Approach to Email Archiving

NavigateStorage, specializing in Email Aechiving presents:

A Next-Generation Approach to Email Archiving

Existing archiving solutions place heavy burdens on Exchange servers, relying on data capture methods like MAPI crawls and journaling – both of which can increase input/output per second (IOPS) on the Exchange server by up to 50%. Mimosa NearPoint for Microsoft Exchange incorporates an innovative data capture method called Continuous Application Shadowing™.

Continuous Application Shadowing instantly captures Exchange log files once they are committed to disk and stores them “off-host” on NearPoint. It is an application-intelligent process, which also blocks corruption from the back-up copy. All email content extracted from the log files is indexed and stored with single-instance storage. Furthermore, Continuous Application Shadowing captures complete mailbox information including calendar items, tasks, contacts, and item histories."

Data Migration made easy - windows management

Complete your project faster, with minimal downtime

Support pre-migration UNC names in shortcuts and embedded links

AutoVirt facilitates share-by-share migration, which means that there is no need to take an entire device offline during migration. AutoVirt breaks each migration job into share-sized increments. To preserve data integrity, files are held read-only while their parent shares are being migrated. As soon as a share is migrated, full read/write access is restored. The AutoVirt global namespace is updated with the new share location, and clients are automatically redirected to their share. Share-by-share migration drastically reduces downtime, and automatic client referrals eliminate post-project shortcut remapping.

To limit the time that large shares are held read-only, AutoVirt offers a pre-migration synchronization period. The sync period can be scheduled to recur as many times as you like. During the first sync period, AutoVirt copies all un-open files it finds, skipping the rest. Each recurring sync will copy any new files it finds un-open, and will synchronize changes at the source with files that have already been copied to the destination. The synchronization period will be reduced over time, until AutoVirt is syncing only a small number of changes between source and destination.

When you schedule the final migration, the share will be held read-only as final changes are synced from source to destination. When the sync is complete, clients are automatically redirected to the new share location read/write access is restored.

Global Name Spaces

Many organizations have hesitated to insert a global namespace because the conversion is often a laborious, manual process. Most global namespaces, including Microsoft DFS, require UNC names to be changed upon implementation, one at a time.

The AutoVirt global namespace model is different. AutoVirt provides automated namespace creation and support of pre-existing UNC names. During installation, AutoVirt automatically inventories the file server environment to create a complete map. Administrators use this map to designate which file servers will receive client referrals through the global namespace. When a file server is selected for AutoVirt management, the map of its contents – from root to leaf-level folders – is automatically stored in the namespace.

The automated file server inventory makes it possible for AutoVirt to support indefinitely the pre-existing UNC names – even after the file servers they once referenced have crumbled to dust. Contact NavigateStorage to learn more about this great solution.

Next-Generation Email Archiving

NavigateStorage has specialized in Email Archiving since 2001. In 2008, NavigateStorage added Mimosa Systems to it's solution excellence offerings.

The fast-growing volume of email presents major challenges for all organizations. According to Ferris Research, the average information worker sends over 600 emails in a given week. Many of these emails are either business records or contain valuable corporate knowledge and need to be retained accordingly. Keeping a large volume of email leads to higher storage costs and headaches for IT staff in the form of longer back-up windows. In fact, Osterman Research states, message stores have grown 30% from winter 2007 to winter 2008.

As message stores grow, organizations face challenges with:
* Managing Storage Costs – getting content off expensive production systems
* Timely Recovery Times – reducing recovery point objectives and ever-expanding back-up windows
* Ending Firefights – lowering cost of reactive collection and review
* Mitigating Content-related Risks – ensuring proper usage of content within the organization

Accelerate NAS environments with Tiered Appliance

FXT Series hardware platforms provide the high-performance storage media that enables Avere tiered NAS appliances to accelerate the performance and reduce the cost of NAS environments. FXT Series hardware platforms are highly reliable and offered in multiple configuration options.

Executive Summary

The storage industry is at an inflection point. High-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) are threatening the dominance of hard disk drives (HDDs), particularly expensive 15k-RPM Fibre Channel (FC) drives, in storage systems. High-capacity, inexpensive serial ATA (SATA) drives have replaced tape as the archive medium of choice. Incumbent storage vendors are struggling to include new storage media in their products, but each candidate replacement medium has particular strengths and weaknesses that existing storage operating systems do not accommodate.

Storage vendors have focused on capacity over performance even as application servers and clients require greater and greater throughput. To keep pace with the demands of your computing infrastructure, you must constantly upgrade to the latest, most expensive generation of NAS servers.

The Avere Systems FXT Series enables you to accelerate the performance of your current NAS infrastructure and lower the costs of NAS acquisition, operation, and expansion. The Avere solution also allows you to use less expensive, lower-performance NAS servers and lower-cost, high-density media such as SATA HDDs to expand your NAS infrastructure, increasing performance and extending the useful lifespan of legacy NAS systems, all while consuming less power, cooling, and rack space than traditional NAS solutions.

iBac 5.0, now offers support for Microsoft Exchange 2010

Idealstor announces that data protection software, iBac 5.0, now offers support for Microsoft Exchange 2010.

We are very excited about this announcement as Exchange 2010 has an option called Recovery Database (RDB) that allows you to recover individual mailboxes or emails without having to do a brick level backup. This means that you can now use our OVS module to backup a live Exchange server and simply backup the information store for a fast and easy to run backup. When that job is done you can then use the RDB to recover mailboxes or emails. This is much faster than traditional Brick Level backup options on the market that require you to go within the information store to backup mailboxes/emails.

Management Software for Windows

NavigateStorage represents AutoVirt

By ensuring that users have a consistent point of access to their data, AutoVirt allows IT administrators to automate the movement of data within their Windows storage environments.

As administrators move data to where they need it to be – business-critical data to a new device, a replica to a secondary location, last year’s share to Tier 2 storage – clients are automatically redirected to the new location of their data. By eliminating impact on end-users, AutoVirt removes a number of logistical barriers to project execution and frees IT to approach storage management more dynamically. With AutoVirt, IT administrators can design policies to automate data measurement, copying, migration, replication, and archiving. A policy is a series of logical and validation commands defined using a GUI-based wizard. Policies are schedulable and include configurable e-mail alerts and exception handling.

We recommend that you attend a 30 minute demo so you can evaluate all this products capability.
