15th October 2008, Storage Expo, London. Leading UK enterprise messaging experts, Essential Computing, has today announced its large scale email storage migration and conversion services.

The recent spate of mergers and acquisitions in the industry has meant many organisations having to rapidly rationalise core business systems, including email.

As well as offering services that enable multiple separate organisations to quickly unify disparate email addresses and email systems, Essential’s new service enables companies to move and re-format legacy email records so that they remain fully accessible to end users, and can be managed and discovered against, from a single, consolidated platform. Email data is also de-duplicated as part of the process, leading to significant storage savings and a reduced storage carbon footprint.

According to Keith Quinn, managing director at Essential, “CTOs are telling me that email has become their most critical business application. Most companies would be crippled if they lost access to their email data - both from an end user productivity viewpoint, and indeed from a compliance and e-discovery perspective. Our service ensures data is rapidly and transparently moved to accommodate change, without losing chain-of-custody or risking data loss. It also enables organisations to optimise their email storage and take a greener approach to what has become the most prolific of storage guzzlers.”

Other scenarios that are demanding Essential’s data migration include:

• Extraction of data from legacy storage systems no longer on support.
• Staff re-locations that require data to be physically moved to a new system.
• Upgrades to new email systems (e.g. Exchange 2003-2007, Notes to Exchange).
• Strategic decisions to move from one archive system to another (e.g. onsite to hosted).

The Essential email archive migration service can move in excess of 1 Terabyte of data a day whilst maintaining full chain-of-custody. Most leading email archiving solutions and email platforms are supported.
