Keep archival copies of their emails and other critical
files. Most can’t recover emails from even a year or two ago.
Why? Because even if system backups are being performed, emails are
often deleted from servers during routine tape rotations. Tape can also
break, wear out and become demagnetized. But what happens when some of
those emails or files are needed in a lawsuit? Or what if a regulatory
agency asks for specific emails and you can’t produce them?
The liabilities to an organization can be substantial:
Fines. Recent SEC fines for
deletion of emails have reached hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Discovery costs. Finding emails
and other critical files on old tapes can take hundreds of hours.
Losing a legal action. Even a single
unrecoverable email can decide whether you win or lose a lawsuit.

OptiVault is a new archival appliance that backs up and
quickly recovers all emails that are sent, received or deleted through
Microsoft Exchange, including attachments. It operates unobtrusively in
the background of your Exchange server, reliably backing up all emails
on optical media.
When you need to recover emails from any mailbox for any date range
OptiVault finds them on the appropriate backup discs and restores them
automatically.
Because it uses non-erasable, non-rewritable media that can be stored
off-site, OptiVault provides true WORM (Write Once Read Many)
compliance. This is a critical specification for publicly-held
corporations, healthcare, brokerage and financial institutions and
others who must meet the strict email, data and document retention
requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC 17-a, HIPAA and a host of other
government regulations.
WORM technology is also highly desirable for any organization that
needs to be able to quickly and reliably retrieve data and files of all
types without over-burdening primary storage devices or media. Experts
agree that optical media is the most rugged and reliable backup media
available. Its archival life is measured in decades — not
just years.
style="font-weight: bold;">Fast and Easy Deployment
OptiVault is designed for use in a wide range of
environments that are already utilizing a variety of primary backup
methods such as tape or RAID. It interfaces to your server(s) through a
single high-speed USB 2.0 port. An optional Rack Mount Kit allows
installation in a standard 19” 4U configuration. The
lockable front panel door keeps media and the robotics safe
and secure.
Using the included software from EMC Dantz, emails and other critical
files are automatically archived on optical media according to
customizable scripts. Each disc is also printed with serialization
— an exclusive feature of OptiVault — for fast and
easy cataloging and retrieval.
With a capacity of up to 117 GB (234 GB compressed) per backup set,
OptiVault has more than enough room for every email plus attachments
generated by hundreds of typical users per month. You can archive and
backup emails and other important files not only from the server, but
also from networked client computers running Windows, Mac OS, Linux,
Solaris and Netware.
