Archive One Policy v. 4.2 delivers ‘SIS PLUS’: optimized storage capacity management and advanced security features.

21st November 2005

C2C today announced the availability of Archive One Policy version 4.2, a major application upgrade bringing advances in storage capacity management and administrator security levels to email user organizations.

Archive One Policy v.4.2 has improved features for storage and capacity management of email archives.

SIS Plus (Single Instance Storage Plus) goes beyond first generation solutions for single instance storage of email by looking at the true cause of wasted storage volumes in the archive - email attachment files themselves - and identifying unique email attachments for a single instance store, rather than the email messages that contain them. Identifying storage efficiencies at the attached file level provides savings related to the number of messages carrying identical attachments, rather than the less frequent occurrence of totally identical messages that are needed for normal message-level SIS benefits.

The practical benefits result because many email messages and variants on them (incl. forward etc) could contain the same attachment (eg sales team sending a product brochure to many clients) which would otherwise be stored again for each new variant message. Archive One's SIS PLUS provides the benefits of SIS in sending an attachment to many recipients, PLUS when it is included in a different message or forwarded on. Diagram explanation of SIS Plus.

Additional new and improved features of Archive One Policy include:

• Integration Framework availability (see press release on Integration).
• Additional administrator levels for enhanced security.
• Enhanced deletion staging through to ‘hard delete’.
• Repository reporting, including archive growth analysis and trend information.
• XML reports enabling enhanced archive process data presentation.
• Archival of Instant Messages and RSS feeds.

“Amid all the hype, the market sometimes forgets that archiving does a job with real benefits. It helps manage overloaded mailboxes, moving non-critical data to a better, often cheaper, yet still accessible place – the automated equivalent of clearing your in-tray to keep just the things you need to hand.” says Dave Hunt, C2C’s CEO. “Archive One’s forensic policy engine leads the archiving market wth the intelligence to tailor policies to whatever your business needs. Combined with SIS Plus, Archive One Policy brings its users absolute benefits in email capacity management – from the mailbox to the archive.”
