Enterprise Archive Solution
Autonomy ZANTAZ Enterprise Archive Solution (EAS) is a highly scalable and flexible consolidated archiving solution that captures and preserves email messages, files, documents and other content in a way that both optimizes long- term storage and allows immediate access for: • Mailbox management • Compliance • Legal purposes Engineered for easy deployment, EAS is essentially invisible to end users, who continue to use their existing and familiar processes and clients without the need for training. Built on the Autonomy IDOL platform, Autonomy ZANTAZ EAS applies corporate policies to selectively offload email messages and files from servers into the archive. The fully integrated single instance storage algorithm eliminates wasteful redundancy while transparently preserving and managing each specific instance of a file or message across all corporate servers and mailboxes. When combined with highly efficient compression, the result is unparalleled storage optimization, with an overall reduction in stored content volume of 50 to 90 percent. Reduced storage requirements and more stable, responsive servers translate directly to a dramatic reduction in costs as well as productivity gains for both administrators and knowledge workers, who no longer have to deal with mailbox quotas or unstable servers and can easily access archived information using their familiar and preferred email clients. By consolidating email messages, attachments, and files into a centrally managed, scalable repository, Autonomy ZANTAZ EAS provides control over valuable corporate information assets - control that enables ongoing compliance with internal corporate governance policies and procedures as well as externally mandated laws and regulations including: • Sarbanes-Oxley • SEC 17a-4 • NASD 3010 • HIPAA • The Data Protection Act • The USA Patriot Act With EAS, administrators can set automatic retention and disposition policies for highly granular control over the information lifecycle. Furthermore, archived information can be automatically classified based on the patented IDOL algorithms that extract the essential meaning of each document through statistical analysis. Last but not least, ZANTAZ EAS Supervisor provides capabilities to closely monitor and supervise corporate information usage and communications. The Autonomy ZANTAZ EAS enterprise-wide archive provides an ideal foundation for electronic discovery, in the event of legal or regulatory demands for information. The vast majority of such demands now center on email and other electronically stored information, all of which can be effectively managed, preserved, searched, reviewed and produced directly with EAS. The solution provides the industry's most flexible and powerful legal hold facility to ensure that legally relevant information can be protected. The embedded Autonomy IDOL engine provides scalable and responsive enterprise-wide searching with sophisticated features and capabilities that far exceed the traditional keyword and Boolean searches offered by legacy technologies. EAS provides the ability to rapidly review and tag information within the context of a given legal matter. A proactive approach to electronic discovery built on Autonomy ZANTAZ EAS minimizes the risk of legal fines and penalties and protects the corporate brand and valuation.  More details on Autonomy ZANTAZ EAS Archiving Overview Knowledge mining, compliance regulations, and risk management are just a few of the primary reasons why companies archive information. The strategy for archiving this information has evolved from point solutions based on the source system and department to enterprise-level infrastructure. This shift is a result of internal cost and resource issues combining with external risk factors such as the changes to and enforcement of the FRCP rules regarding the discovery of electronically stored information (ESI). Implementing an enterprise-level archive strategy has its own challenges " how to collect, consolidate, make available and ultimately destroy the content when it comes from multiple proprietary systems, in multiple languages and in hundreds of different content formats. The solutions developed and implemented for specific systems or at the department level lack the breadth of functionality and scalability needed to address content archiving at the enterprise level. When deployed beyond the scope of their own inherent architecture limits, these solutions create new silos of information, further complicating an already complex environment. Companies need a scalable solution designed to bridge and eliminate content silos that are created by content source, language and format. The archive solution must address each of the primary challenges: collection, consolidation, search, eDiscovery and records management. |
