Email, Document and File System Archiving


Document and File System Archiving

It has been estimated that 97% of recorded information is now created electronically and that m ore than 80% of corporate information now exists in electronic form. In most organisations, this information is stored by end users on file systems throughout the enterprise. On average, 70% of data becomes inactive within 30 days of creation. According to the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), the average amount of dormant files on file systems is approximately 80%. Unless this data is managed within the context of an organisation's retention and disposition policies, file systems can result in:

  • Escalating storage and storage management costs
  • Violation of data retention regulations, with potential fines and penalties
  • Increased e-discovery and litigation costs
  • Impact on IT resources as support staff struggle to find and restore lost or damaged files
  • Reduced employee productivity

For many organisations, the explosive growth in data volumes has resulted in unsustainable levels of operational cost and business risk. The significant increase in data continues to come primarily from unstructured data, generated by many, disparate applications. These include Microsoft Office (word processing documents, spreadsheets, presentations), images, audio files, videos, scanned images, JPEG, HTM, PDF files, etc.

AXS-Link for File System Archiving™ gives organisations the ability to process, manage and securely store unlimited volumes of files, generated by any application, that are currently unmanaged and uncontrolled within their enterprise. The AXS-One solution leverages high-performance workflow to streamline, manage and automate the entire file collection, management and archive process, and provides an audit trail of all migration activity.

 

Email Archiving and Instant Messaging Management

Recent research from IDC reports that the number of corporate emails is predicted to grow from 9.7 billion in 2000 to 35 billion daily in 2005.  A report published by technology market research firm, Radicati, predicts that the total number of active Instant Messaging accounts worldwide will grow from an estimated 590 million today to more than 1.4 billion accounts in both the corporate and public sectors by 2007.

For many organisations, the research points to spiralling hardware costs, unmanageable backup cycles, decreased user performance and increased compliance risks.
