Not heard of those two, but having used both Symantec Enterprise Vault and EMC EmailXtender/Sourceone I'm firmly of the belief that all archiving solutions have their faults! Archiving is great for some things, mainly keeping all emails ever safe from deletion, and for compliance, etc. It's terrible at space saving, I've now worked at 2 places who implemented archiving to save space on exchange and in both cases it has been a nightmare! It increases backups, adds complexity and degrades end user experience.
Am I jaded, probably, but I deal with the fallout every day! If space is the only issue buy a bigger exchange server, or even better buy another. PST ingestion is a good thing, but in order to access that mail though outlook/OWA you will need stub messages for all those messages in exchange. You will need to seriously consider the impact of this on performance and space, this is often overlooked. Nick Turner From: Kevan Dickinson [mailto:kevan.dickin...@nsf-cmi.com] Sent: 07 June 2011 11:52 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Email Archiving Solutions All I am currently looking into Email Archive solutions. We are running Exchange 2010 with about 300 mailboxes. One of the main aims of this project is to eliminate PST files and to keep the exchange database at a reasonable size. The product must integrate with Outlook seamlessly, archived email must be available off line (cached) and available through OWA and Outlook anywhere. I have identified 2 products that would seem to fit our criteria and would like to know whether anyone has experience of either product or any feedback they can offer about usability, features and support. The products are Metalogix "Archive Manager" and MessageSolutions "Enterprise Email Archive" Thank you in advance for any opinions that you can offer.
