What is ZL Unified Email Archiving Suite? |
 |
It is an infinitely scalable, high performance, fully resilient archiving and retrieval system for all of your email and other electronic communications.
It supports all major messaging systems - MS Exchange, Notes / Domino, Groupwise, Sendmail, Sun, Java Messaging, Postfix, Akonix, Facetime etc.etc. |
|
 |
OK, but what does it actually do? |
 |
As an example lets say you use a Microsoft Exchange mail system in your company, and you use it for internal / external email for your staff.
All emails, mail enabled folder posts, messages, attachments - in fact all email traffic which passes in, out and around your Exchange server is indexed and archived securely. |
|
 |
That Sounds great - but why would I want to archive? |
 |
Loads of reasons - but the main ones are obvious.
- Instant search & retrieval - Never lose an email again - EVER.
- Reduce storage / backup costs significantly - a 60% reduction is typical.
- Remove Mailbox Quotas.
- Disaster Recover / Business Continuity.
- Legal requirements / Regulatory compliance
- E- Discovery reasons.
- Improve mail server performance.
- Monitor / archive all internal communications - traditionally very hard to do.

How can ZL help with an email system migration? |
 |
Are you looking to migrate mail systems? For example migrating Notes to Exchange, from Groupwise to Notes, from Sendmail to Exchange - or in fact any combination?
ZL Archiving Suite makes this process faster, easier and reduces errors.
BEFORE you begin migration, all of your current email is imported into the ZL archive and is indexed as normal. Attachments are stubbed and placed in the archive. You then have a significantly reduced mail store which is ready to be converted using your standard tools.
AFTER you have migrated to your new mail system and the email headers have been restored, the stubbed attachments and email contents can be restored / searched for from the ZL archive as required.

 |
What Storage can be used?? |
 |
ZL can use any storage resources that you have available. ANY. It is completely storage independent.
Whether you use SAN, NAS, local RAID disks, WORM drives or have a robotic library - ZL Archiving suite can use it. |
|
 |
How do I search for historical emails (e-discovery) ? |
 |
ZL is lightening fast. Via a simple web interface, or from within your Outlook client you can search from any combination of to, from, contents, attachments, key words - in fact anything at all.
Search results are typically returned in less than a second - even when searching billions of emails! |
|
 |
I've been burned before - Everyone claims to be scalable and fast. Why should I replace my old legacy system with ZL Archiving Suite? |
 |
ZL is the Ferrari of email archiving solutions.
It was built from the ground up to be "carrier class" with no simple point of failure and infinitely scalable - simply by plugging in (or automatically provisioning via VMware) another processing node.
You will NEVER need another solution.
Most vendors claim to be scalable, but don't explain how. We do. In depth. <more> |

 |
What is Message Stubbing and how does it help? |
 |
ZL Technologies' flexible stubbing technology enables automatic offloading of email and electronic information using full, partial, and attachment stubbing.
This means that for example you do not need to "bung up" your local mailbox with attachments. The actual attachment is stored in the archive and is only retrieved (automatically) when needed. |
|
 |
What is Single Instance Storage and how does it help? |
 |
Single instance storage saves a huge amount of resources when done properly.
A lot of vendors claim they do SIS but few actually achieve it 100%. ZL Archiving suite truly does provide this.
True SIS means that if for example you send an email to 50 internal recipients, with a 50Mb attachment only a single copy will be stored in the Archive - while retaining all of the header and recipient information.. |
|
 |
How do I administer the System? |
 |
Assignment of all user roles and rights is managed by you via a secure web browser session. No special software needs to be installed. |
|
 |
How do I search the Archive? |
 |
Via a standard web browser - assuming of course you have proper rights (setup by your own nominated Company system administrator)
You can search on a wide variety of things - who its from, who its to, date range, attachment type, key words - and any combination of items. |
|
 |
Can I download / export messages from the archive? |
 |
Yes |
|
 |
What is the Compliance Reviewer ? |
 |
Compliance Reviewer is a built in module which lets you set certain key words. Messages passing through with the key words you have set can be flagged for review by line management and escalated as your company policy dictates.
This may be useful for example monitoring the use of racist terms or profanity being sent between staff members, or to check for potentially confidential company information being sent out.. |
|
 |
How does this compare / complement my existing Email Gateway solution? |
 |
You may be running MailMarshal at the gateway for example which does a form of archiving. MailMarshal's archiving however (while convenient), is not secure, not long term , not easily searchable, and does not address compliance issues such as security, minimum retention periods, audit trails, Instant Messaging or any other internal communications.
The Archiver is a complete archiving, compliance, search and discovery solution which works seamlessly alongside, complementing your existing mail servers and gateway control solutions. |
|
 |
Can I import old, legacy data? |
 |
Yes. Old legacy data can be imported and indexed in a wide variety of formats - for example Exchange PST files. |
