The Email Archive Engine
Designed for High Demands and Fast Return on Investment
The aim of exchange@PAM is to automate archiving of
emails. Email storage
requirements in the MS Exchange Store shrink to an insignificant 2-5 KB
after archiving.
The only change the user notices is the presence of a symbol that blends
into the toolbar in MS Outlook. A simple double-click brings up the
email and attachments. Messages can be searched, edited, forwarded,
moved to other folders or deleted. When an archived mail is deleted the
link in MS Exchange is also removed. The email stays in the archive and
can be retrieved and restored at any time.
At the heart of the exchange@PAM server lays the DMS PAM-STORAGE
solution. The integrated HSM (Hierarchical Storage Management) engine
has been developed specifically for high volume archiving processes and
has been field tested by companies with millions of documents.
exchange@PAM verifies constantly if emails are being stored in the MS
Exchange Store, to which the predefined archiving regulations apply. The
administrator decides when an email should be archived and specifies the
archiving strategy by means of intuitive forms. exchange@PAM pulls a
ready-for-archiving email out of the MS Exchange Store and replaces it
with a link. This link is also registered in a relational database
(ORACLE or MS-SQL Server) and serves as a reference for the actual
storage location (storage medium). The email itself is compressed and
stored to the designated storage medium which in turn saves additional
storage space.
Clustering is also possible with exchange@PAM.
Archiving
formats
Emails are detached and archived as separate contents
(body text and attachments).
Archiving
process
Simple, multiple or synchronized onto different storage mediums based on
Single Instance Store technology integrated with HSM
(hierarchical storage management).
SIS Single Instance Store
Emails are often addressed to a group (e.g. office). A block of
addressees receive identical messages with identical attachments.
exchange@PAM deals with this unnecessary waste of precious space by
using the Single Instance Store function. exchange@PAM utilizes MD5
checksum logic to see if the emails and attachments have already been
archived no matter how many MS Exchange Servers are connected. Every
email or attachment will only be archived once. The whole addressee
group can still open these messages and attachments as normal.
