Email and File Archive

Efficient data management isn't just about having enough storage capacity any more. Data doubles every 18 months¹, and more than 90 percent of this data is never accessed after initial use². Add to these stringent regulations governing data retention and your employees' need for instant file access, and you have a recipe for potentially crippling data storage costs.

Enter Dell™ Email and File Archive, a comprehensive, fully integrated solution that combines Dell services, storage systems and servers with industry-leading archiving software.

We can help you slash costs, promote productivity, ensure regulatory compliance and prepare for e-discovery. And we’ll work with you every step of the way, so you can rein-in data storage growth and more easily manage your existing files, emails and SharePoint® sites.

The Email and File Archive solution can help:

• Simplify e-discovery and ensure regulatory compliance — You can meet data retention and deletion requirements by implementing efficient search, retrieval and policy management tools.
• Reduce data management costs — With data tiering and consolidation, as well as automated policy management, you can move rarely used data to economical long-term archive storage. This helps minimize the amount of data backed up every day, which shortens backup times and frees up more IT resources for other projects.
• Optimize and speed up data retrieval — We help you improve relevant search results with proven software and retrieval services, so you can get your employees the information they need, when they need it.
• Create an open, flexible infrastructure — We champion standards-based solutions that help you scale without having to rip and replace equipment or perform frequent data migrations.
• Prepare for future data growth — According to recent studies by ESG, file-based content represents 76 percent of archival data³ and stored archival data is growing at an astonishing 56 percent per year⁴. Start preparing for this data explosion now with a true end-to-end archiving solution.
