Connected ArchiveStore/EM™ - Overview

Email Management, Legal Discovery & Compliance Features In a
Single Solution

Connected ArchiveStore/EM is the only email archiving solution delivered with
email management, compliance and legal discovery in mind. ArchiveStore/EM
offers the fastest, easiest path to essential email archiving functions:

Efficient Email Management

ArchiveStore/EM automatically archives email files straight from the server, allowing a 60% to
90% reduction in total email server volume. Single-instance storage software, data compression
and quota management keep archive storage and storage management needs to a minimum.

A Foundation for Compliance

ArchiveStore/EM encrypts every archived email and is the only solution to maintain encryption
during storage, ensuring valid audit trails by making visible any activity relative to stored email
and attachments. The solution provides a cornerstone to compliance through this unmatched
security, plus

- rules-based policy management
- automatic policy implementation,
- comprehensive audit trails for proof of compliance, and
- full-text index and search with web browser access.

Rapid Legal Discovery

ArchiveStore/EM provides the maximum evidential weight for email records, through secure,
tamper-evident archiving. Full-text indexing and search, plus sort-by-category reduce the time
of email-related legal discovery and litigation support from weeks and days to hours and minutes,
and cut associated costs by up to 90%, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. (Estimate
based on mid-sized enterprises.)

Beyond basic functionality, ArchiveStore/EM provides category-leading performance in several
important areas:

- Impenetrable Security: Each email is automatically encrypted, then receives a unique
digital signature before it reaches the archive. And ArchiveStore/EM is the only solution to
digitally encrypt and sign all data stored in the archive.

- Maximum Evidential Weight for Legal Admissibility: All email in the enterprise is
subjected to rules-based policies, with comprehensive audit trail functionality built in. As a result,
a complete record of activity for all archived emails and policies enables the highest level of legal
admissibility.

- No Client-Side Installation: All functionality is provided on the server side. No client
installations are necessary, reducing overhead, deployment time and overall costs.

- Complete Capture: ArchiveStore/EM automatically captures every email message in the
enterprise. Each email is then subjected to rules-based policies, including emails entering and
leaving the organization, emails between users on the same email server, and emails between
users on separate email servers. Those matching policies are archived as unique, indexed and
searchable records.

- Easy Search & Retrieval: ArchiveStore/EM allows users easy access and search of archived
records through a Web browser, as well as access using their usual email application.

- Built-In Audit: ArchiveStore/EM creates a tamper-evident audit trail whenever a document is
moved, viewed or deleted, and whenever policies change. By tracking every action and
providing ‘after-the-fact’ forensics capability, even auditors are audited.

- Storage Options: ArchiveStore/EM supports secure storage to local disk, SAN/NAS, HSM
interfaces and other media types. Messages can be managed according to type or category.
Administrators can set retention parameters and define storage media along current practices
based on policies.
