E-mail Continuity: Combining E-mail Archiving and Disaster Recovery

The integrity of business functions relies heavily on an organization’s messaging system and access to e-mail data. During times of crisis, the ability to access current as well as older e-mail messages can contribute greatly to maintaining regular business operation.

An overburdened messaging system is of limited value during regular operation, but during a crisis or outage, it is unlikely to be of any help with business continuance. The infrastructural devastation that resulted from the recent Gulf coast hurricanes, underscores the importance of effective e-mail continuity for businesses and governments.

Every business must be able to assure business continuity during an outage, and this continuity demands instant access to the corporate knowledge contained in e-mail messages and their attachments. However, one of the main reasons business give for not setting such protective measures is the high cost. Solutions to long-term e-mail storage that are effective, scalable as well as affordable are available. Adding an off-site repository can simple be as simple as changing a configuration setting.
