Symantec Enterprise Vault

The pressure on organizations to protect and manage data has intensified with the recent growth in unstructured data and the reliance on email to communicate and exchange documents. Many companies now consider email to be mission critical. In fact, recent studies suggest that email and other messaging applications store as much as 75 percent1 of a company’s intellectual property. So, how do organizations protect their email data when email is expected to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week? And what if a legal challenge requires IT to find files and email related to last quarter’s earnings? With little extra time to maintain backup windows, IT administrators are challenged to meet stringent business requirements. Also, in spite of exponential data growth and increasing user demands for data recoverability, IT budgets remain flat. Symantec Enterprise Vault software answers these challenges.

Managing millions of mailboxes for thousands of customers worldwide, Symantec Enterprise Vault provides an intelligent archiving platform that stores, manages, and enables the discovery of corporate data from email systems, file server environments, instant messaging (IM) platforms, and collaboration and content management systems. Because not all data is created equal, Enterprise Vault utilizes intelligent classification and retention technologies to capture,categorize, index, and store target data to enforce policies and protect corporate assets while helping to reduce storage costs and simplifying management. It also provides specialized applications, such as Discovery accelerator and Compliance Accelerator, that mine archived data to support legal discovery, content compliance, knowledge management, and information security initiatives.
