Jatheon - Welcome to the Human Network.Storage Space Management

The drive to archive has been fueled by three key trends:
  • The worldwide explosion in e-mail and instant messaging (IM) usage
    According to independent market research firm The Radicati Group, the average corporate e-mail user sends and receives a total of 133 messages per day, one-quarter of which are sent with attachments. And despite concerns over its management and use, enterprise IM adoption is also heating up, driven by its immediacy of use and the benefits of group collaboration. As demand grows, major platforms including IBM Lotus Sametime and Microsoft LCS/OCS are making instant messaging a key component of their unified communications strategies.

     
  • The increasing storage requirements of corporate e-mail users
    As more graphics-rich forms and documents are sent as e-mail attachments, average e-mail message sizes are rapidly rising. The average corporate e-mail user sends and receives roughly 16.4 MB of data per day, and that figure is expected to exceed 21.4 MB by 2010.

     
  • Regulatory compliance requirements
    An increasingly litigious environment surrounding the use and storage of e-mail and other messaging data has affected companies in virtually all industries. “Failures in finding, saving and sharing e-mails are bedevilling large and small litigants, undermining their credibility with judges and affecting the outcome of high-stakes trials,” writes Don Clark in The Wall Street Journal. “New federal rules have reinforced companies’ obligations to produce electronic evidence, which has exploded in volume as e-mails replace phone calls and other business communications.”

Storage Space Management Challenges:

  • The need to store increasing quantities of data without affecting system performance:
    With the staggering increase in information being transmitted via e-mail, the size of the average user’s mailbox has grown rapidly – in many cases causing server crashes and many employee hours spent managing mailboxes (and often deleting useful information) to keep them from exceeding required quotas.
     
  • E-mail storage capacity and management:
    Companies frequently limit the size of each user’s mailbox to optimize e-mail server performance. This forces users to spend time cleaning out their mailboxes, thereby reducing their productivity. Allowing larger mailbox sizes, however, can severely affect the efficiency of the e-mail server. An e-mail archive automatically stores content in the archive, where it is accessible to the user without placing an unnecessary load on the e-mail server.

FAQ:

Q. How does Jatheon’s Plug-n-Comply™ solution search and retrieve e-mails?

A. The appliance indexes and archives the data as if it was a dictionary.  When a search is performed, the data is searched against the dictionary or index file based on your search query.  Only when the e-mail is clicked on, the appliance then retrieves the e-mail in an uncompressed format. This type of indexing allows for e-mails to be searched in a very quick and efficient manner.

Jatheon’s technology allows on average for a 10 to 1 compression ratio on all data stored on the appliance.

Q. How long does the implementation take for Jatheon’s Plug-n-Comply™ solution?

A. It takes only a few hours and not days. This is because the appliance is non- intrusive to the network layer. Our appliance requires minimal training and is simple to deploy, manage and operate.

Q. Is it possible to delete messages from Jatheon’s Plug-n-Comply™?

A. No. All messages are stored in the appliance until the pre-determined expunge date. This date is decided by the champion of the e-mail archiving initiative.

Q. Is there any hardware or software required for Jatheon’s Plug-n-Comply™?

A. No. The appliance is a turn-key solution that comes equipped with all the hardware and software for e-mail archiving.

Q. What e-mail platforms does Jatheon’s Plug-n-Comply™ support?

A. The appliance integrates with all the major e-mail platforms: Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, Novell Groupwise and Kerio.

Q. Is it possible to upload an existing archive?

A. Yes. Jatheon offers professional services for data migration.

Q. Does a full audit trail exist?

A. Yes. All messages are time and date stamped. The appliance also offers authenticity features which include a DNA fingerprint to ensure that the e-mail has not been manipulated.

Q. Does Jatheon’s Plug n Comply™ archive all e-mails?

Q. Does Jatheon’s Plug n Comply™ solution impact the performance of the existing e-mail server?

A. No. Because the appliance is non-intrusive, it has no impact on the performance of your e-mail server.

Q. Data Migration: ...can the product automatically migrate data between tiers or systems? If so, briefly describe.

Yes – The PnC products support data migration. Migration and ingestion of existing customer data is done by the appliance from files in either a pst or eml format. Using the optional Jatheon pst crawler, searches for local pst files are done and they are actively imported and ingested into the appliance for archiving and searching.

The Jatheon suite of products are integral in the e-mail platform migration process. Clients wishing to move from one e-mail platform to another, ie. Novell Groupwise to Exchange 2007, are usually concerned of their data being lost or compromised during the migration process. By including Jatheon’s solution in their platform migration strategy, the client can go through this process with ease and comfort, knowing that all the e-mail has been archived on the Jatheon appliance.

Storage Space Management– How it works:

The storage requirement in the mail platform is growing at an alarming rate. Jatheon’s Plug n ComplyTM appliances handle the storage foot print more efficiently. The combination of single instance storage and the careful implementation of compression offer significant storage advantages.

Many organizations implement policies that have the mail platform shed messages in the store after a pre-determined period.

Users then have the ability to retrieve their messages using the Jatheon Outlook plug-in. This easy to install client plug-in places an Archive folder in the users folder list; once the user access the archive through Outlook; they have all of the advance searchability that a Compliance Officer has but limited the their own messages.

Users can forward messages back to the mail client
