Content and E-mail Archiving

Solution Description

Hitachi Data Migrator software, powered by CommVault®, is a hierarchical data management tool that enables migration of Microsoft Exchange messages or Microsoft Windows File System data to less expensive secondary storage. This software reclaims critical primary storage space by moving and automatically recalling data from secondary storage for active use. By applying Data Migrator policies to select, move and retain fixed content and redistribute older data across a tiered storage architecture, organizations with aggressive data growth can gain significant economic and productivity benefits. The transparent, in-place recall mechanism of Data Migrator maximizes data accessibility for users, without requiring extensive training, physical staging or catalog maintenance over the data’s life span.

Administrators can maintain more efficient primary storage architectures and can reduce the costs of retaining and accessing fixed data by moving it to less expensive tiered storage assets.

Flexibility

Customizable policy for data migration automation. Save employee time formerly spent pruning e-mail inbox sizes and eliminate “mailbox full” messages.

Flexibility

Heterogeneous platforms and solutions can share the same storage pool

Manageability

Policy-based migration to minimize administration effort. Time to deployment is reduced, availability is improved and more outages can be prevented.
