Unified archiving to help enterprises prop up information umbrella

Document management, e-mail archiving At first glance is not important, but as long as the enterprise is applied to the e-mail system, it will need it to help enterprises to prop up a piece of information umbrella.

e-mail system has become one of the most dependent systems in enterprise business. According to foreign statistics, 75% of IPR lawsuits involve e-mail, and 79% of respondents use e-mail as a written confirmation of their transactions.

is not all mail has the same value. The answer is depressing-more than 75% of emails are not related to work, or even junk mail.

So, when users need to search for a three-year-old email, they want to be as efficient as possible, reduce costs, and minimize the search.

In addition, enterprise documents may be stored as formal documents on the server, but may also be stored in messaging systems, MSN servers, and even Microsoft SharePoint's enterprise Content Management Servers, and how they should be managed in the face of such disparate data.

According to the Symantec China Regional Sales director Liu Wei, the simple way to solve this problem is to do unified archiving, and the process of the user's most attention to three points including information storage, management and search.

In general, old information is stored on less expensive storage space to reduce costs, and the next step is how to manage this information. A survey reported that 60% of corporate users have up to 7 years of retention requirements for mail and other documents. This enforcement of retention deadlines is particularly relevant for many Chinese companies that are listed overseas and subject to regulatory compliance. When end users need to search for the required document content, they also need to capture all the data that includes e-mail and other documents. In a new version of Symantec's newly released Enterprise Vault 7.0, storage features increase the archiving of Microsoft instant Messaging information and push-and-install Windows servers, reducing the cost of implementation and maintenance.

In terms of management, the value of each information is automatically categorized according to the rules defined by the Administrator in advance. At the same time, EV7.0 has a major breakthrough in starting to support EMC or Oracle's information Archiving Solutions .

In terms of search, in addition to the new IA Smart Archive, EV7.0 also supports Microsoft's Rights Management services. This allows you to index and archive even encrypted data.

"Information Foundation 2007 is not a single product, but a solution for Symantec's collection of all the related information security management products." "By buying this single product, users will be able to get an end-to-end holistic solution that includes anti-spam, anti-virus, information archiving and other features," Liu said.

The presence of IF 2007 does not mean that users are not aware of risk, but for a long time, users have been using different solutions.

For example, in the gateway, there are anti-virus and anti-spam gateway, but also related to the real-time communication security gateway, but also includes web filtering and content filtering ... From this perspective, there are a number of suppliers in any small area that provide their own single point of solution.

This can be a risk for users, both in terms of cost and future scalability. So, Symantec launched if 2007 either at the gateway, the server or in the data archiving aspect, has provided one end to end solution, brings to the user the two point core benefit: First is the comprehensive information risk protection, moreover is the single solution supplier, reduces the user the use cost.
