I think most vendors put an appliance internally that runs through the journal mailbox then "syncs" "sends" "uploads" data it to their offsite infrastructure.

The software costs are easy to calculate, but figuring out how much storage and backup capacity I'll need is trickier. One of the off-site vendors we're looking at charges a flat rate per user, regardless of mailbox size. Which I like the idea of, but it's not cheap. -----Original Message----- From: James Wells [mailto:jam...@gmail.com<mailto:jam...@gmail.com>] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 9:57 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Calculating Storage for Archiving That will vary by vendor. I know that when I've used Zantaz, they had a mode that would just analyze/report but not modify anything. You'll have to see what your compression looks like, retention period for the archive, index sizes if searching...but I'd be sure to get a solution that let's you expand or oversubscribe the storage OR plan up front with the vendor how to deisgn the archive to cutoff after a certain date and use new storage for all future. (iex: past - 2008 goes in archive bucket 1, 2009-future goes in archive bucket 2). You probably need the latter method no matter what, because there's no platform that can just expand forever on large archives.... --James On 3/25/09, John Hornbuckle <john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us<mailto:john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us>> wrote: > We're exploring options for e-mail archiving systems.
