Applications for Electronic Content Archiving

Onsite Content Archiving

Iron Mountain’s electronic content archiving platform addresses the challenges of ever-growing content. It is the first and only product to combine archiving and recovery in one solution, with no impact on production content systems.

The platform can be enhanced by applications for eDiscovery, content monitoring, retention and classification, PST management, tiered storage management and disaster recovery. Our applications can:

  • Seamlessly integrate into the platform
  • Maintain a zero-agents approach
  • Deploy quickly, with minimal time or need for extra user training
  • Extend the functionality of the platform for your users

eDiscovery

Powerful search, retrieval, and management of Microsoft Exchange email, MS SharePoint data and file system documents for litigation hold, eDiscovery response, early case assessment, litigation support and internal investigations.

  • Comprehensive eDiscovery across the most targeted ESI data types
  • Effective case organisation and management for complex litigation tasks
  • Reduced discovery cost and risk

Content Monitoring

Proactive archiving, surveillance and alerts to reduce litigation risk.

  • Meticulous monitoring policies for specific message comparison requirements
  • Comprehensive reporting to support monitoring regulations
  • Simplified interface saves time and money on reviewing

Retention & Classification

Intelligent, automatic classifying, tagging and retention of archived content to reduce or eliminate the need for manual classification of user-generated content.

  • Classify archived content based on consistently defined rules without any burden to the end-user
  • Set specific retention policies to mark content as potentially responsive to an ongoing investigation of legal matter
  • Reduce storage costs by retaining only what is defined

PST File Management

Microsoft Office Outlook Personal Store (PST) files present serious challenges for the Exchange administrator. Users routinely offload email messages and attachments from the MS Exchange Server to local PST files to stay below mailbox quotas. Our PST file manager:

  • Automatically collects PST files from servers and desktops for archiving
  • Applies fine-grain retention/disposal policies to match specific business and legal needs
  • Identically preserves the file structure in the archive
  • Responds fully to global search

Tiered Storage

We can map service levels to underlying storage devices with different costs, response times, throughput and availability to improve performance.

  • Movement of data from one tier of storage to another can be managed automatically based on content, metadata tags, or user ownership
  • The system can be configured to write to a WORM (write once, read many) device such as those offered by NetApp, Hitachi and EMC, or a high-speed read cache to improve the recall time for the end-user while maintaining a separate, immutable copy on the compliance device
  • Greater granular control over IT costs; achieving savings across hardware, software and operations
  • Meet service-level objectives, reducing exposure and minimising risk

Disaster Recovery

The disaster recovery application provides a total solution for data protection, with both local and remote configurations supported. It is capable of restoring MS Exchange databases, storage groups, or the entire exchange server in the event of a hardware or software failure.

  • Minimises loss of service and provides business continuity by restoring Exchange data to a standby Exchange Server, including restarting of Exchange services and remapping of mailboxes in Active Directory
  • Simplified management of the disaster recovery application with wizard-driven menus to guide setup and help define the failover policies
  • Application-intelligent replication preserving data consistency to ensure a corruption-free copy of Exchange

Zero footprint means no agent or kernel driver software is installed on the Exchange Server that might cause instability and compete for CPU, memory, and storage resources
