C2C Delivers Archiving and Management Solutions for Microsoft Windows File Systems

C2C email management strength now available for file archiving

October 14, 2008

C2C, a leading provider of email, file and messaging management solutions, today announced that it is extending the benefits of its Archive One solution to provide automated, policy-based record retention, discovery, search and disposition for Microsoft Windows file systems.

Archive One for Files offers customers the benefits of removing old files, large files, or particular types of files in order to reduce cost, improve performance, retention management, optimize capacity usage, and improve backup windows on primary storage devices.

The solution can be installed alongside the email archiving and Microsoft SharePoint archiving automated data management solutions provided by C2C. The data can all be stored in a single repository, or be separated by recognition of the data type, or even by logical departmental units (such as finance or human resources) each with its own repository regardless of the type of data.

“Extending the Archive One platform to Windows file systems is a huge added value for our customers, enabling them to perform comprehensive file management with a minimal learning curve by leveraging the same familiar user interface,” said Dave Hunt, CEO at C2C.  “This extension of Archive One brings commonality to the management of data across the enterprise for email messages, documents, and other data so that it remains accessible and auditable throughout the data lifecycle.”

Archive One for Files was developed to provide flexible automated data management, building on C2C’s foundation of data searching and intelligent actions to carry out mass actions across different types of data to assist in compliance, legal discovery and storage capacity management. Like other C2C solutions, administrators do not need to archive data before applying a command, such as copy, move, delete, classify, compress, archive, or un-archive. Archive One is capable of data processing speeds of one million messages per hour.

"ESG research suggests that companies will archive over 80,000 petabytes of file data in the next three years, and customers will need sophisticated tools to manage this along with all of the incremental email data being retained for compliance, legal and business reference purposes,” said Brian Babineau, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “This is good news for enterprises using Archive One for email to reduce risk, optimize integrity and minimize compliance issues, because they can now achieve the same goals for files with an application they are already comfortable using. At the same time, Microsoft users who are looking for an all-in-one archiving and management platform will find Archive One has much to recommend it.”
