Technical Overview
|
|
Mimosa
NearPoint for Microsoft Exchange Server is the industry’s
only comprehensive data management solution for Microsoft Exchange
that unifies data protection and e-mail archival in a single
integrated solution. (figure 1.) NearPoint solves many of the
challenges facing Exchange data protection, but this paper focuses
on the e-mail archive capabilities of NearPoint. The Mimosa
engineers designed NearPoint to overcome the drawbacks and
limitations of traditional email archive solutions. Two major
design goals were to perform all processing "off-host"
and to gather as much rich message information as possible. In its
initial delivery, Mimosa NearPoint for Microsoft Exchange Server
performs all the typical functions of e-mail archival
"off-host" without adding any performance burden to
Exchange. The e-mail archive functions that NearPoint performs are
indexing, fulltext search, authentication, retention, disposition,
and security. In addition, NearPoint provides a complete view of
mailboxes, including folders, contacts and calendars and it can
re-construct complex message threads and conversations across time
and across multiple servers. The following sections describe in
detail the important functions that Mimosa NearPoint performs for
e-mail archival.
