Second, because EV can operate across multiple journaling, compliance and archiving applications, you don't have copies of each message for each application. Because EV is a "write mostly" type of application with a much lower transaction rate than an Exchange server, storage cost can be much lower.

This means you need a single larger storage system rather than a series of smaller ones, as in Exchange. First, EV maintains "single instance" storage of messages even across different Exchange servers. However, we found that EV can save message space in several ways. Once the message is controlled by EV, you can apply a range of retention policies, enforcing automatic deletion in the end.Īlthough the integration with Exchange is slick, we were concerned that moving messages out of Exchange and into EV trades off one storage nightmare for another. When EV has its fingers deep into the mailbox, it can grab messages and move them to the vault, leaving behind a shortcut that will let the user get at the message moved to the EV message store. The second link to Exchange for EV is directly into each user's mailbox.

In Exchange 2007, Microsoft requires that all messages go through a messaging hub (even if they are passed between users in the same message store) and then provides a way for third-party applications, such as EV, to get copies of those messages as they fly by. First, it can link into the journaling capability of Exchange to get a copy of every message that passes through your mail system. In our tests using Exchange 2007, we focused on e-mail applications as the most likely and interesting data stores for enterprise IT. We did not test archiving performance but focused on the product's integration capabilities and its search and recovery features (see How we tested Enterprise Vault).
