Recent revisions to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and many state court rules establish new requirements for the rapid discovery and production of email messages. For many organizations, the cost of implementing archiving solutions capable of meeting these requirements have kept these solutions just out of reach.
EMS Rapid Archive is uniquely designed to address today’s essential email archiving challenges, including those imposed by the new FRCP rules, with a maintenance-free, on-demand service. EMS helps companies manage email retention and deletion based on corporate policies, saves messages in compliance with regulatory requirements, and facilitates rapid discovery and production of email for legal purposes - all for a fraction of the cost of other archiving systems.
Unlike on-premise alternatives, EMS Rapid Archive can be quickly and cost-effectively deployed for any subset of users. In as little as a day, EMS can provide immediate e-Discovery and Legal Hold capabilities for pending litigation.
Business practices and regulations continue to change, yet many archiving systems have fixed global retention policies that were built into the archive architecture. These systems can be extremely costly to change requiring software upgrades, new hardware and licenses, consulting fees, professional services and result in increased maintenance and staffing costs. EMS Rapid Archive’s flexible policy engine enables companies to set retention policies and Legal Holds of any length, by user, group or server, and allow them to be changed at any time to provide complete retention policy management. There is no need to lock-in retention policies before deployment; changes can easily be made as needs evolve and are recorded to provide a complete audit.
When email becomes evidence, the ability to quickly search all historical email provides a competitive advantage. EMS makes it easy to search selected mailboxes or the entire environment using any search criteria. Perform sub-second searches across headers, body, subject, file names, and over 370 attachment types to accelerate decisions with a sure and complete knowledge of the contents of all relevant email.
EMS Rapid Archive eliminates the cost and complexity of managing multiple data stores by storing each email only once and using this archive for storage management, legal discovery, compliance and recovery.
Unlike alternative archives, EMS Rapid Archive can optionally be used to replace lost messages in your Exchange environment. After an outage, EMS Rapid Archive can generate a disaster recovery archive for any time window based on server, storage group or user group using any search criteria for quick restoration into the primary email environment.
As an on-demand service, the costs for deploying and operating EMS Rapid Archive are known upfront with little or no initial investment required. As your business needs grow, EMS can easily provision increased archiving storage allowing virtually unlimited mailboxes for any number of end-users without adding additional maintenance work for your IT staff. EMS has insurance-like pricing with predictable monthly costs to provide the highest archiving performance at the lowest cost.
An on-demand archiving system that solves today’s essential email archiving challenges, including FRCP rule compliance.
