SELECTING AN ARCHIVING PRODUCT
Data archives have become a core element of the storage infrastructure. Archives today have two purposes: They hold a vast spectrum of data that does not require frequent access, and they ensure that more relevant data is retained (and then deleted) to meet regulatory compliance needs.

CAS PLATFORMS
Content-addressed storage (CAS) archives provide the storage for retaining data that, although accessed infrequently, still has long-term relevance to the enterprise. CAS also provides immutability to data, and has become indispensable for organizations concerned with litigation and compliance.

EMAIL ARCHIVING
The main goal in evaluating email archiving products is to examine their feature sets and their hardware requirements, then select the product that best addresses the data compliance requirements of your organization, as well as its individual exposure to litigation.

INDEX AND SEARCH SOFTWARE
Even though archived data may have been unused for years, it must be located quickly when needed to address critical business issues like discovery requests or regulatory compliance audits. Consequently, index and search products have emerged as essential enterprise tools. Indexing creates catalogs of file content based on the metadata applied to content as it is stored. Search combs through indexes, comparing criteria against metadata and presents results to the user.

POLICY MANAGER SOFTWARE
Storage has no intrinsic knowledge of what it's storing -- a storage system does not understand the relative importance of data to the enterprise. Policy manager software (policy managers) provides the guidelines that dictate which data to store, where to store it, when to move it and, finally, when to dispose of the data once it's aged.
