Email Archiving FAQ
How does Jatheon’s Plug n Comply™ solution search and retrieve emails?
The appliance indexes and archives the data as if it was a dictionary. When a search is performed, the data is searched against the dictionary or index file based on your search query. Only when the email is clicked on, the appliance then retrieves the email in an uncompressed format. This type of indexing allows for emails to be searched in a very quick and efficient manner.
Jatheon Technologies Plug n Comply appliances do message compression and single instance storage.

Data Migration: ...can the product automatically migrate data between tiers or systems? If so, briefly describe.
Yes – The PnC products support data migration. Migration and ingestion of existing customer data is done by the appliance from files in either a pst or eml format. Using the optional Jatheon pst crawler, searches for local pst files are done and they are actively imported and ingested into the appliance for archiving and searching.
The Jatheon suite of products are integral in the email platform migration process. Clients wishing to move from one email platform to another, ie. Novell Groupwise to Exchange 2007, are usually concerned of their data being lost or compromised during the migration process. By including Jatheon’s solution in their platform migration strategy, the client can go through this process with ease and comfort, knowing that all the email has been archived on the Jatheon appliance.
