C2C ArchiveOne Features

Policy Manager selects and archives information from mailboxes, PST files or public Exchange folders automatically and invisibly, using the criteria based on your organization’s e-policy.  The locations, types and retention periods of the archives are flexible and selectable by administrators.

Policy Manager replaces long messages on email servers with a short summary and a link to the archive.  Users are able to access archived email directly from their mail client software, and the email is reinstated to original status seamlessly.
                        
Policy Manager improves productivity for email users.  It provides them with seemingly unbounded storage removing the hassle of selecting old messages for deletion and other mailbox maintenance.

Content specific selection criteria
Policy Manager provides a wide range of options for archiving email information. Forty six different selection criteria are available with twenty three choices of Boolean logic options giving thousands of combinations to meet any organization’s requirements.

Policy Manager also integrates with EMC Centera.
