The Problem Is Our Email-centric World
EXPLODING
STORAGE GROWTH
• Users continually
hitting mailbox quota
due to our emailcentric world
• Counterproductive
and impacts
business

BUDGET
PRESSURES
• Can’t afford new
storage and servers
• More time spent on
backup and
administrative tasks
DATA
RECOVERY
• Organization halts
when email is down
• Worse when it
accidently leaves the
building

LEGAL
DISCOVERY
• Highest cost to an
organization relates
to Legal, not storage
• Being discovery
ready starts with
sound archiving
policies
Impact to Business
Key Message: Cheaper servers, dumb storage and status
quo backup approaches won’t help you avoid the problem.
 When information is not available, business stops.
•
Servers fail, information is lost.
•
Not keeping relevant information is bad, not finding it is worse.
 Throwing more servers at the information problem won’t help.
•
Backup windows keep growing.
-
•
Archiving proactively to reduce the backup problem protects data once and forever.
Archive requires intelligent management.
-
To assist with retention, recovery and discovery of information requires an intelligent archive
solution.
