EMAIL ARCHIVING

Email usage and volume have exploded in recent years, with storage requirements per user increasing by an order of magnitude or more. The email systems are slowing down under the stress and acquiring additional capacity drains budgets and resources.

In addition, regulatory agencies now recognize email as an integral part of business records. Accordingly, management and retention of email are increasingly subject to regulations, particularly for financial, healthcare and publicly traded corporations. As penalties escalate with fines and prison terms, non-compliance has become a very risky proposition.

Since most of the capacity of email servers is taken up by large email and attachments, CAS Severn can dramatically improve email performance by offloading and “stubbing” them. Such stubbed data is transparently retrieved on demand. Offloading the workload translates to savings from deferred spending on email servers.
