Email Archiving

Google Apps Email Archiving Solutions

Google Apps email archiving, called Google Message Discovery and powered by Postini, is an efficient and cost-effective method of consolidating and protecting your emails. Your email archive will allow for easy access to emails through search features and a centralized repository available to all users, as well as other benefits that exceed the capacity of on-site servers or media-based email archiving. The image below illustrates how the Google Apps email archiving system automatically backs-up all emails or messages.

The Power of Google Message Discovery

Some of the key features and benefits of Google Message Discovery include:

• Admin control for set policies
• Easy content management
• The latest and best protection against spam, viruses, phishing, and other email-borne threats
• Secure encrypted messages across domain-to-domain traffic
• Monitored archive activity
• User-friendly tools for exporting messages or message sets
• Quick and accurate email location with specified search criteria

Since the Google Apps email archiving system is powered by Postini, there is no need for any local email archiving software to add complexity to your users’ experience.

Why Should You Archive Your Emails?

Email archiving is increasingly important in the corporate world. In many cases, government regulations require email archiving to stay compliant with many laws currently in place. Internally, many larger organizations have very stringent rules regarding the archiving of emails.

Email archiving also assists in full compliance with legal discovery. Postini tools bring audit capabilities that will help bring cases of litigation or internal investigations to a quick close. Archived emails can be searched and found in minutes, rather than days or weeks.

Google Message Discovery provides a backup in case of accidental deletion, granting peace of mind to all users that no important information will accidentally be deleted forever. Google’s archiving solution also grants more storage space to those with full mailboxes. Users can remove old clutter from their working mailbox without worry.
