As user email boxes get bigger continuously, email storage & archival can become a management nightmare, as new capacity is required frequently, which also complicates administration. Lotus administrators or IT managers that desire a comprehensive email archival solution that enables the deployment of a multi-tier vendor-neutral storage infrastructure that can be used to intelligently store email data based on administrative policies, should investigate CommVault’s Archive software for Lotus Domino Server Mailboxes.
Compatible with Lotus Domino Server 6.5.5 and 6.5.6, and Lotus Domino Server 7.0.1 and 7.0.2, CommVault Archive software for Lotus Notes helps control the costs and management headaches associated with storing rapidly growing Lotus email volumes.
Instead of storing all email data on primary data stores, with this email archival solution, you can spread email messages and attachments across storage of all formats, including Fibre disk arrays, low-cost SATA, tape, WORM, optical, DAS, SAN or NAS. Establish policies that dictate when and where data gets stored based on preset rules, departments & groups, and fine-tune policies down to the mailbox level.
CommVault’s “stub” archival process provides users with transparent access to archived data by placing essential data contained in the original, in the primary messaging store, and retrieving the rest of the data on demand. This technology works much better than other technologies that use “links”, since the stub includes header information in addition to specific metadata that indicates where the rest of the data is. Links are prone to breaking, but stubs allow data to be moved across multiple volumes without affecting the user’s experience.
Leverage low-cost SATA and tape to provide your users with a “bottomless” mailbox that meets internal and regulatory policies regarding data and records retention. With CommVault Archive for IBM Lotus Domino email archiving software, older & unused messages can be used to moved to cost-effective secondary disk and even tape, saving on capital expenses, as well as operational expenses such as energy costs.
Other technologies such as built in data compression & encryption, and single-instance store capability enables Lotus Notes email messages & attachments to be stored for longer periods of time to comply with eDiscovery & other industry, companywide, and governmental regulations.
CommVault’s Unified Console helps reduce management overhead by providing an intuitive interface that allows policies to be set and fine tuned, and implemented globally, without scripting.
Leverage deduplication technologies from vendors like DataDomain, which integrates with CommVault’s email archival solution, to further reduce costs and storage capacity requirements.
This email archive software for Lotus Notes messaging stores is designed help IT departments adapt to the changing regulatory requirements as the FRCP (Federal Rules for Civil Procedure) and case law evolves to address data management & retention issues. eDiscovery requirements associated with the ESI (Electronically Stored Information) mean that IT managers may be subpoenaed in legal proceedings, and must have a legally defensible data management policy.
CommVault Archive for Lotus Domino Server Mailboxes allows IT departments to build a comprehensive data management and protection policy that offers the record retention processes required for eDiscovery. Legal holds that disrupt existing data retention timelines can be enacted easily, and point-and-click reporting simplifies compliance audits. With this email archival software, all data can be verified to ensure it is retrievable, and advanced integration with WORM media further protects against accidental data destruction. Chain-of-custody can be maintained and proved with timestamps, audit trails, and message ID’s.
CommVault’s advanced content indexing engine supports a variety of languages and data types, making true federated search of messages at the enterprise level possible for a variety of purposes. IT staff can quickly create .PST files for legal teams to further scrutinize and cull to determine relevancy, helping to prevent missed deadlines or incomplete eDiscovery responses, which can result in negative press and summary judgments, presenting significant financial risks for the business.
Federated search can span across millions of objects, so CommVault’s Archiving solution for Lotus Notes allows for reduced result sets so users can efficiently preview anticipated results without having to execute a full search.
Advanced search capabilities can also be transparently provided to the individual Lotus Notes mailbox level as well, providing users with a robust search engine with which to search for data in their personal mailboxes that browses & searches across their messaging data, including archived & deleted data.
Reducing the amount of data that must be stored on primary data stores prevents Lotus Domino messaging systems from taking performance hits as volume size increases. In addition, backup windows are greatly decreased, further helping to maintain performance standards and compliance with SLAs.
