SANity XA

In the course of the next year experts predicts that the total number of emails sent worldwide will increase from 3.2 billion to around 19 billion. This will place an additional burden on the enterprise with the need for dramatically increased data storage capacity . The technical challenge of managing this data is often remarked on and discussed, but few are able to offer a solution. E-mail is a significant resource for your company - unfortunately the majority of the information is either hidden, or unavailable to those who need it. Finding and restoring lost email messages is a time consuming headache for both administrators and users alike, and the existing email archival strategy often does not satisfy the requirements of storage regulations (e.g. USA - Gramm- Leach-Biley Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Privacy act), not to mention legal requirements. A company risks monetary and other sanctions if it does not satisfy relevant storage regulations, which can result in a loss of confidence in its shares and a reduction in customer satisfaction.

The solution

SANity XA is a solution that solves all these problems. In addition to ensuring the safety of your messages - meaning that you only need to create backups of your system, it also does not require Exchange server, or client-side installation.In place of costly RAID systems and the associated necessary tape backup systems, the heart of the system is a DVD Storage Jukebox (scalable from 1TB - 306TB) – which is both significantly cheaper, and the media has a suitably long life-span for long-term archival (˜80years).

Choosing the SANity XA e-mail archive system provides direct advantages for management directly responsible for a company’s operation since they will receive an effective tool for reduction of legal costs and operational errors.Such an e-mail archival system also reduces possibility for abuses of information, and makes it easier to assume responsibility for your company’s data.

  • DVD-based scalable, cost-efficient storage (currently up to 34TB per Storage Jukebox unit)
  • Archived elements and attachments are reachable with a single click
  • Configurable archive redirection
  • Compatible with any local or remote IMAP e-mail server
  • Platform independent
  • Fully parametrizable archive procedure
  • Archive restructuring

E-mail users will notice no difference in normal day-to-day usage of the mail system, other than that archived messages are continuously and easily available, without any decrease in performance of the main email server, and that there will no longer be a need for have email administrators to specify a limit on the size of their mailboxes.
