QTS Solution Spotlight:
Symantec Enterprise Vault

Overview

Symantec's Enterprise Vault software provides a flexible solution for archiving and managing email, files and other data types.  Enterprise Vault can work with:

• Microsoft Exchange Server (5.5-2003)
• Windows Server File Storage
• Windows SharePoint Portal Server (subject to certain limitations)
• Instant Messaging (through third party API extensions)
• Lotus Domino Journaling (full Domino support in late 2006)

Enterprise Vault allows you to define rules to control archiving and long-term storage of data, in a user-transparent manner.  When users want a message or file retrieved, they click on the placeholder and it is brought back seamlessly.  The solution combines elements of archival storage, Hierarchical Storage Management ("HSM") and full text indexing/search (leveraging the Alta Vista search engine).

Enterprise Vault is a modular product, allowing you to purchase the modules you need for the data and functionality you require.  In addition, modules are also available for:

• Compliance - uses archiving and storage to manage processes and demonstrate compliance with SOX, GLB, etc.
• Discovery - allows for flexible search/retrieval to comply with Legal Discovery requirements.

This solution, particularly based on its tight Exchange Server integration, is perfectly suited for environments with large or growing Exchange message stores where it is important to manage that growth while complying with Security Policies and still providing users with an intuitive, easy solution.

Key Benefits

Symantec Enterprise Vault provides a number of benefits, including:

• Manage growing Exchange Message Stores
• Provide archiving and near-line storage with user-transparency
• Full-text search allows for Regulatory Compliance
• Full-text search facilitates Legal Discovery
• Leverage full text search for knowledge management and exploitation
• Integrate the solution with disaster recovery scenarios to maximize recovery time.
