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.
