Symantec has announced Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0, the market-leading intelligent content archival solution that stores e-mail and collaborative content cost-effectively, manages it according to retention and compliance requirements, and discovers it to support e-discovery and knowledge management.
Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0 offers new intelligent classification capabilities, which allow for preservation and disposition of content based on its business value, including:
- Automated Classification Engine Reduces archive size and search times by categorizing and retaining e-mail based on 50 pre-defined or an unlimited nubmer of customizable rules types.
- User Classification Engine Ensures a consistent and defensible records retention program by classifying all e-mail as each message is created or read by the user directly in Microsoft Office Outlook.
- Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Integration Leverages deployed ECM solutions to define retention management, while storing, searching, and securing the content in Symantec Enterprise Vault. Support delivered for EMC Documentum, IBM DB2 Content Manager, Open Text LegalKey, Open Text LiveLink, Oracle Stellent Universal Records Manager, and CA MDY FileSurf, on top of existing support for Microsoft SharePoint and CA MDY.
With new releases of nearly all Microsoft collaboration and productivity products in 2007, Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0 continues to lead the market in leveraging new Microsoft technologies, including:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Support Provides reduced mailbox sizes and elimination of the need for PST files and quotas, and facilitates faster migration to Microsoft Exchange 2007.
- First Archive to Support Microsoft Windows Desktop Search (WDS) Improves user productivity by enabling rapid search of files, archived e-mail and live e-mail from a common, familiar search tool.
- First Archive to Support Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) Ensures security and discoverability by indexing and searching RMS encrypted content.
- First Archive to Natively Capture Microsoft Live Communication Server Archives all corporate IM traffic without routing through Exchange, reducing server load and risk of data loss.
As customers gain more experience with archiving solutions and the criticality of these solutions increases, IT organizations are demanding manageability from archives similar to what they get from other infrastructure applications. Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0 allows enterprises to centrally manage archiving deployments:
- Secure, Roles-based Administration Delegates common tasks to first-line administrators while preserving security by controlling what each administrator can do all on the same infrastructure.
- Granular Provisioning Enforces different archiving shortcutting and retention policies for users with varying requirements (e.g., heavy users, executive users, mobile users or regulated employees).
Advanced Reporting and Monitoring reduces the cost of management through automated, Web-based, customizable diagnostics and dashboards for tracking the health and usage of the archive. Symantec Enterprise Vault is available through Symantec's worldwide network of value-added authorized resellers, distributors and systems integrators. |
