Vault Solutions LLC has released a patent-pending de-duplication filter for Symantec's Enterprise Vault which eliminates duplicate messages from the review cycle in Compliance Accelerator.
Symantec's Compliance Accelerator is used to review a sample of message to comply with various regulatory requirements. These messages are pulled from Exchange journal mailboxes. Depending on the configuration of Exchange and Enterprise Vault, it is very common for duplicate messages to appear in the Enterprise Vault Archive. For storage purposes, these are 'de-duplicated' by Enterprise Vault, but because each copy is indexed, duplicate copies often show up in the Compliance Accelerator review set.
The De-duplication filter announced today identifies these duplicate messages as they are journaled, and tags them in Enterprise Vault in such a way that Compliance Accelerator filters them out of the review set. This, along with the junk mail filter previously announced, provides Compliance officers with a much more relevant set of messages to review. As with the junk-mail filter, this filter does not require additional hardware, and is extremely efficient.
