One use case of our Archive Accelerator product, which has been coming up more lately, is the need to migrate Enterprise Vault archives from one Enterprise Vault server or environment to another. This can be required for several reasons, such as:
1) Increasing the number of Enterprise Vault servers to increase E-Discovery performance
2) Jumping from one version of Enterprise Vault to another, multiple versions at one time
3) Mergers and acquisitions
4) Hardware refresh involving a change in storage vendors
Let’s take these one at a time:
1) Increasing the Number of Enterprise Vault Servers to Boost E-Discovery Performance
As organizations grow, so does the volume of data they need to manage and archive. E-Discovery processes can become sluggish when a single Enterprise Vault server is tasked with handling massive amounts of archived content. By increasing the number of Enterprise Vault servers, you distribute the workload, leading to faster search and retrieval times during e-discovery.
However, migrating archives between servers in the same environment can be complex and time-consuming. Archive Accelerator simplifies this process by seamlessly transferring archives from one server to another without data loss or significant downtime.
2) Upgrading Across Multiple Versions of Enterprise Vault Simultaneously
Upgrading Enterprise Vault incrementally through each version can be a daunting and lengthy process. Organizations looking to jump several versions ahead face compatibility issues and extended periods of reduced accessibility to archived data.
With Archive Accelerator, you can bypass intermediate upgrades by migrating archives directly to the latest version of Enterprise Vault. Our solution handles the complexities of version differences, ensuring your data is correctly formatted and fully functional in the new environment. This not only saves time but also reduces the risks associated with multi-step upgrade paths.
3) Mergers and Acquisitions
During mergers and acquisitions, integrating IT systems is a critical challenge. Different organizations may use separate Enterprise Vault environments. Consolidating these archives into a single environment is essential for unified access, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Archive Accelerator facilitates the smooth migration of archives from one Enterprise Vault environment to another. It enables organizations to combine their archived data seamlessly, ensuring that all historical information is accessible from a single platform. This consolidation supports better decision-making and streamlines compliance reporting across the newly formed organization.
4) Hardware Refresh Involving a Change in Storage Vendors
Technology advancements and end-of-life hardware necessitate periodic upgrades to storage infrastructure. Switching storage vendors adds another layer of complexity, especially when dealing with vast amounts of archived data that must remain intact and accessible.
Our Archive Accelerator solution ensures a secure and efficient migration of your Enterprise Vault archives to new storage hardware, even when changing vendors. It maintains data integrity and preserves all essential attributes of your archives. This minimizes disruption to your operations and ensures a smooth transition to your new storage environment.
In all these scenarios, the key challenges revolve around minimizing downtime, preserving data integrity, and ensuring compliance. Archive Accelerator is designed to address these challenges head-on, providing a reliable and efficient means to migrate your Enterprise Vault archives regardless of the complexity involved.
