How expensive are both EMC Xtender and Zantaz EAS? I think they might be a cost issue as well and complexity of implementation. Any thoughts, as I have to sell this to the guys that hold the Big Purse. Thanks Dave ChongJa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ I've used EMC Xtender, which was a pretty neat application. You can schedule archive tasks and does shortcutting as well. Once items are archived, you have the option to shortcut messages where messages are removed from your mailbox and replaced with a pointer in Outlook. Therefore when a user wants to restore a message, all you need to do is double click the message in Outlook and it will retrieve the message from the storage and copy it back to your Exchange DB, rather than using a search interface such as a browser to search for the message then retrieve. All mail is stored in DB as a flat file which you can store on a file server. Application also has the ability to search user's machine for existing .psts to archive off to storage. --------------------------------- From: Brian Pituley [mailto:bpituley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 11:22 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: GFI Mailarchiver - is that the best way to go? http://www.MSExchange.org/ We have just implemented Zantaz's EAS product. We have it set to archive individual mailboxes as well as archiving everything that comes or goes through either of our mail servers. With the exception of the Outlook addin not working nicely on one machine it's been a reasonably good experience.

Dave, We found GFI compliance/discovery orientated, where we needed a data management product that would allow us to offer larger mailboxes, which would be basis for getting rid of pst files. We chose Zantaz's EAS product, which we will be implementing this month. So I'll have more first hand knowledge in the next few months.

The whole idea is to take away email management from users and hopefully get rid of PST nightmares. We currently have GFI Mailarchiver up and running in evaluation mode, but somehow we found it did not quite fully our needs. The concept I understand is that MailArc v3.0 takes a copy of mails sent or received and stores in on an SQL server. Our problem is that users still have to go in and tidy up /free up space on their mailbox. We were kinda hoping that MailArc v3.0 would do that for you. Anyone got alternative? I do know symantec do Enterprise Vault. anyone used that yet? Is MS thinking of coming up with a solution for Archiving mails besides PST? Help Dave --------------------------------- Yahoo!
