Features:
The need for email archiving is growing as today’s
organizations are more frequently asked to keep, and deliver on
demand, access to the comprehensive library of all sent and
received email messages.
Due to strict compliance guidelines, administrators often
need features that enable quick and secure delivery of past
emails and a message audit history to address legal scrutiny.
From an operations perspective, email archiving provides the
ability to ease the strain on physical storage by moving emails
off the email server without sacrificing access to the messages.
The Barracuda Message Archiver is a complete and affordable
email archiving solution, enabling you to effectively index and
preserve all emails, enhance operational efficiencies and
achieve regulatory compliance needs. Leveraging standard
policies and seamless access to messages, email content is fully
indexed and backed up to enable administrators, auditors and end
users quick retrieval of any email message stored in an
organization’s email archive.
Comprehensive Email Management:
The Barracuda Message Archiver provides multiple tools,
enabling archiving and historical imports, search and retrieval,
message storage, and roles to provide in-depth control over
individual and organization-wide email archives. Capabilities
include:
- Archiving. With multiple modes of deployment, getting
started with email archiving is easy. Emails intended to be
archived can either be pushed to the Barracuda Message Archiver via SMTP, or the Barracuda Message Archiver can
pull emails via standard email access protocols (POP3 or
IMAP). The Barracuda Message Archiver can also be deployed
in conjunction with the Barracuda Spam Firewall, leveraging
its capabilities to journal inbound and outbound email.
- MAPI email import. Using Microsoft’s Message Application
Protocol Interface (MAPI), you can import emails from other
sources to consolidate the historical emails stored on a
Microsoft Exchange server into one secure email archive.
- PST file import. Scattered PST files stored on users’
desktops or laptops can also be imported. In conjunction
with the MAPI email import feature, this allows you to
create a comprehensive archive of new and historical emails.
- SMTP relay. The Barracuda Message Archiver can work as an
SMTP relay to forward emails to your designated email
server. This capability allows you to capture inter-company
emails for archiving if journaling is not practical.
- Indexing. Using a thorough list of all message components,
emails are fully indexed by message content and attachments
with the option to add tags for customized searches.
- Search and retrieval. The Archive Search tool located in
the Web user interface conducts quick full-text searches
based on tags or message content. Users can easily search
personal email archives, view emails in the archive and
forward emails to active mailboxes.
- Message storage. Built-in storage and redundancy is
provided through internal or external mirroring, as well as
swappable drive trays that enable added control and email
management across the organization’s network. This allows
you to move emails from costly, transaction-based storage
required for production email servers to less expensive
storage options.
- Single instance storage. With the use of single instance
storage, the Barracuda Message Archiver intelligently
removes duplicate emails or attachments from a message
thread, ensuring only one copy is compressed before storing
it in a file system to maximize storage capacity.
- Tamper resistant. End users can monitor the status of
email messages sent to their archive by checking to see if
it has been corrupted or deleted.
Intuitive Policy, Discovery and Compliance Support:
Enforcing corporate policy, compliance regulations and
litigation requests are a growing aspect of a system
administrator’s duties, requiring email retention, retrieval of
related messages and delivery of all relevant communications.
The Barracuda Message Archiver supports a standard and
customizable set of policies and capabilities, including:
- Retention policy. A predetermined archiving policy that
outlines the length of time to retain email messages, whether to
comply with government regulations or for company records.
- Roles. Using role-based administration, access privileges are
organized in three tiers and can be designated to the
administrator, auditor and end user by integrating with Active
Directory to immediately classify user permissions.
- Compliance and corporate policy monitoring. The Barracuda
Message Archiver enforces standard policies by monitoring and
reporting on behaviors, such as use of foul language,
transmitting personal identifying information, list of most
frequently visited job searching Web sites, as well as providing
customizable policies to monitor use of user-defined keywords
and phrases. Upon installation, administrators can immediately
set up the built-in policies or leverage new policy definitions
delivered by Energize Updates to begin monitoring policy
violations and create an audit trail of relevant email messages.
- Litigation readiness and discovery process. By using the
powerful searching capabilities, auditors and email
administrators can easily sort through an email archive to
compile relevant messages based on keywords, dates and
sender/recipients into an exported file. Access records and
related policy violations can also be readily compiled and
delivered to legal counsel as requested.
Simplified and Centralized Administration:
The Barracuda Message Archiver features an easy-to-use Web user
interface, creating an intuitive and cost-effective
administration tool for the integrated hardware and software
solution. The Web user interface allows users to define, manage
and control corporate archiving settings and rules from one
central place.
- Multiple domain administration. For organizations that
handle multiple domain names, such as an ISP, the Barracuda
Message Archiver can be set up to individually store and index
messages from each source. Policies and permissions can be set
for each administrator and auditor to access only their relevant
archives across an organization.
- Intelligent Storage Manager. The Intelligent Storage Manager
provides a complete view of used and available storage, enabling
email administrators to decide between concatenated, an expanded
method for storage involving additional external storage drives,
or mirrored storage for redundancy.
- Reporting and statistics. With sophisticated built-in reports,
the Barracuda Message Archiver allows you to report on various
operational and legal aspects. A sample of reports includes
growth of email archive as well as the consistency and integrity
of the archive index.
- Energize Updates. Delivered by Barracuda Central to update the
extensive library of virus definitions to block virus and spyware variants, policy definitions to enable enhanced
monitoring of compliance and corporate guidelines, updates to
the latest document file formats needed to decode content within
email attachments, as well as security updates for the
underlying Barracuda Message Archiver platform to remain free of
any potential security vulnerabilities.
