With Zantaz Enterprise Archive Solution (EAS), Northcliffe Media will be able to clean up and reduce the size of its approximately 7,500 Microsoft Exchange mailboxes across the company for its 4,500 full-time staff in 32 centers.
After the migration, Northcliffe Media will use EAS to increase the efficiency of the company’s knowledge management, document retention and electronic disclosure processes. Northcliffe Media will also be able to optimize its data storage capacity by removing duplicated emails and compressing them into a consolidated near-line archive store, thereby reducing the company’s email storage requirements by up to 50%.
In addition, Zantaz EAS will allow Northcliffe Media to retrieve email messages quickly and dramatically ease the cost and time penalties associated with litigation.
Servo Computer Services, Zantaz’s implementation partner, is currently undertaking a series of trials in a virtual environment, which will emulate Northcliffe’s live Exchange environment. This proof of concept exercise will streamline the processes used during the archiving of Exchange 5.5 mailboxes and the migration to the consolidated Exchange 2003 farms at Northcliffe Media’s Leicester and Plymouth data centers.
