EAS has a totally unique open architecture that makes your archive scalable, low cost, resilient, and easy to manage.

Simply set the archive policies and schedules to match your needs, and EAS does the rest. E.g:

- Compliance – capture everything in real time, and retain for 7 years
- Space – archive everything >1 year, or > 10MB, or with subject=’Project X’

EAS ensures it stores only one instance of any duplicate items – at a company-wide level. It also uses compression and containerisation to give you the highest possible space savings. In fact EAS is unbeatable in the industry.

And, instead of black box approach that is costly to scale, EAS lets you use your existing database technology (SQL or Oracle) and your preferred range of storage options to index and store your archived data.

What’s more, your archive is accessed independently of EAS itself. This means you leverage your existing infrastructure to the full, and get the ultimate in speed, resilience and scalability. You can also distribute the archive service if needed, but without creating islands of data.

The end user experience is seamless. Archived items look and feel just like regular e-mails. For example, users can ‘right-click forward’ without having to retrieve first. There’s also a super-fast integrated search option that gives consolidated results across e-mails and files.

Finally, you don’t need to worry about security. Your email access rights are automatically mirrored into the archive, and the archive itself is totally tamper-proof, with all access fully audited.
