Email Archiving
Industry research shows that in 2006, the average corporate email user will send and receive nearly 90 emails each day, the equivalent of 1.5 MB per day of storage. In two years, this number is predicted to rise to over 3 MB per day, per user. These estimates could be even higher for image intensive users (medical, for example).
At the same time, compliance requirements also continue to rise, holding enterprises more accountable for storing and retrieving data sent and received from their email and instant message systems. As email commerce becomes more sophisticated, the volume and complexity of data exchanged using email will force IT managers to install solutions to satisfy compliance regulations (HIPPA, Sarbanes-Oxley) and protect the organization against liability issues.
Whether your organization is a commercial, government or education entity, you are faced with developing an email retention and archive plan, and the task of designing a comprehensive solution to manage email archiving, search and discovery and mailbox capacity. |
