Why Cloud Archiving is Best Suited for On-Premise Mail servers?
Keeping a read-only copy of every mail sent and received by your users in an email vault.
Email Archiving
Email is an official record
Email is the de-facto tool for corporate communication. Having a central access to all the email data also lets you find all data for contractual obligations, mandatory compliances and legal matters during internal audits.
Email Archiving Benefit #1
Email Archiving Benefit #2
Business Continuity
An email archiving service which allows end users to access their archived mails via a self-service portal, could also act as a disaster recovery site and can provide an alternate access to a user’s archived mail store – that too instantly.
Email Archiving Benefit #3
eDiscovery & Regulation Compliance
E-documents are scattered across locations including email servers, PST files on local desktops, laptops, mobile devices, backup devices and other removable media. An email archiving solution with a central access to all the information reduces such internal inefficiencies.
Email Archiving Benefit #4
Data backup
Enterprises need to back up email data which is older and still necessary for future reference, as well as required for regulation compliance. Such email archives are indexed and have easy search to make discovery and retrieval easy.
Disaster recovery
Protect your organization against all kinds of situations causing data loss such as accidental or malicious deletion of mail, data corruption on desktops, laptops or loss of end point devices.
Email Archiving Benefit #5
Improves service performance
By keeping only recent mails on the live storage and moving older mails to a secondary storage, the mail service performance improves and emaildata management is simplified.
Email Archiving Benefit #6
Cloud Archiving Benefit #1
Back up data on a secondary storage
Organizations need to backup older data on the cloud, separate from the primary mail storage. This is where cloud archiving comes in handy.
In-line email archiving
Ensures every single email is backed up before it hits the mailbox. This helps retain all the information necessary and provides greater data security.
Vaultastic Benefit #3
Platform independent
Works with Zimbra, Lotus Notes, Mdaemon, MS Exchange, Postfix, Office 365, G Suite and other on-premise as well as cloud email solutions
Vaultastic Benefit #4
Unlimited storage
Unlimited storage policies help organizations send and receive large number of mails each day without the fear of running out of storage space and bringing a stress free working environment.
Vaultastic Benefit #5
Guaranteed data durability
Since all mail are reliably stored on a robust cloud storage with multiple levels of redundancies, data can be accessed on-demand and has 99.99999999999% data durability.
Vaultastic Benefit #6
Exports mails in PST or EML
To retrieve mails, end users have to login to the Vaultastic web console and export selected mails into a PST or EML format.
Vaultastic Benefit #7
Historical data upload
Historical email data in EML or PSTformat can be uploaded to Vaultastic
Vaultastic Benefit #8
Restoring mail boxes is simple
Vaultastic makes restoring mailboxes very simple. End users can easily recover any specific mail which they may have lost from their primary account, or restore their entire mailbox

Business problem ISMT was trying to solve
Email Server and Storage GrowthEmail server management is expensive. Data is growing relentlessly.
Litigation Litigation is a fact of life, especially in today’s business. ISMT had faced litigations and were required to produce certain information that existed only within email communication.
End-user Oversight The employee's ability to decide what can and cannot be deleted, left us in a tough spot when it came to finding an email for litigation.
Regulatory Compliance Federal/State regulations govern how ISMT businesses retain documents and email communication
Business problem ISMT was trying to solve
Business Continuity: While traveling for work, the laptop of one of our employee was stolen. The user was unable to access the PowerPoint presentation stored in the email.
Auditing Ability: Every action that a person takes with their email should be audited.
Business Intelligence: Perfect tool to access the most important information within our business.
Challenges with our earlier solution
Difficult to keep up with the growth in data with continual
storage expansion
The archive storage itself needed to be backed up.
Had to deploy an Internal team to maintain and monitor the
setup 24/7
Was extremely difficult to find mail easily and quickly.
How Vaultastic addressed ISMT problems
Vaultastic provided complete archiving for all on-premise and on cloud users.
Vaultastic stores a copy of every mail sent and received by a user, independent of the primary mail server, ensuring data redundancy and protection against service outage, data loss or corruption.
No limitations on the storage in Vaultastic.
All our email data in Vaultastic is safely stored in AWS data centers.
The qualitative benefits we derived
eDiscovery, Manage or Search
Vaultastic app runs on the familiar and intuitive webmail interface, that allows users to search through all mails sent and received by them.
Users can download, forward, print, reply to any mail from their email archiving accounts.
Achieve Regulatory Compliance We are assured that no end user or admin can accidentally or
deliberately delete any mail from the email vault. Vaultastic mail storage is a read-only encrypted store and is available
only to authenticated and authorised users.
Restore Mails or Mailboxes Users can recover any specific mail which they may have lost from their
primary account, or restore their entire mailbox.
The quantitative benefits we derived
Email Backup:No need to back up email data which is older and required by the company for future reference and regulation compliance.
Personal Productivity:Email backup solutions are not attuned to the needs of the end users. Vaultastic archiving solution with a self service portal increases end user productivity and reduces the IT tickets, thereby boosting IT productivity as well.
Storage, Performance and Scalability:A huge amount of storage / cost is saved, as there is no need to maintain the email backup. This also increased the performance of the email server.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
SaaS is an alternative to the standard software installation in the business environment, where a user has to build the server, install the application and configure it.
Reduced time to benefit:Advantage of provisioning the archival server in cloud and in a couple hours the application is ready for use. This reduces the time spent in installation and configuration, and can reduce the issues that can get in the way of the software deployment.
Lower costs:Vaultastic has a differential regarding costs, since it resides in a shared or multi-tenant environment, where the hardware and software license costs are low compared to the traditional model.
Software as a service (SaaS)
Scalability and integration:Vaultastic solution is scalable and has integrations with other SaaSofferings. Comparing with the traditional model, users do not have to buy another server or software.
New releases (upgrades):Mithi upgrades the solution and it becomes available for their customers. Costs and efforts associated with upgrades and new releases are lower than the traditional model.
Easy to use and perform proof of concepts: Vaultastic offerings are easy to use since they already come with best practices and samples inside it. One can do proof of concepts and test the software functionality or a new release feature in advance.
• Needs to be designed for reliability, security and high availability
• Re-architecting required for growing storage demands
• Re-architecting required for new security threats
• Plan upgrades and updates of the software to handle new demands
• Internal teams required to maintain and monitor the setup 24/7
• Capex to purchase and AMCs to maintain the infrastructure
• Setup needs a backup solution in place of disaster recovery
Challenges of on-premise archiving
• Physically separate copy
• No infrastructure required
• Elastic storage
• Guarantees on durability
• No manpower required
• Opex Pay as you go
Why store archived mails on the cloud?
• DIY self service portal
• Export old data
• Tamper proof
• Mixed plans for added flexibility
• Unlimited storage on all plans
