How our Email Archiving Service Works

Archiving Service Information Exchange



  • An email archiving appliance is set up within your corporate network, fully integrated with Active Directory to allow for granular email retention policy

  • The archiving appliance encrypts all internal and external emails, before sending them to the secure, off-site email archive. The email archive is backed up and a third copy is stored at another data center

  • Users can search and retrieve email from the archive in seconds and for data privacy, retrieval of archived emails requires access to the appliance and the decryption keys

  • A comprehensive range of policy set-up, supervision, administration and reporting capabilities enables you to manage the email archiving service in line with your organization’s specific requirements
