<strong>Archive360</strong> <strong>Introduces</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>First</strong> <strong>Regulatory</strong>
<strong>Compliance</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Solution</strong> <strong>Based</strong> on <strong>the</strong>
Microsoft Azure Platform
New Archive2Azure Simplifies Long-term Unstructured Data Retention for <strong>Regulatory</strong>
<strong>Compliance</strong> and Litigation Preparedness -- Speeding <strong>the</strong> Move to <strong>the</strong> Cloud
NEW YORK, NY, June 28, 2016 /PressReleasePing/ - <strong>Archive360</strong> TM , <strong>the</strong> leading provider of
email archive migration software, today announced Archive2Azure TM , <strong>the</strong> industry’s first
regulatory compliance storage solution optimized for <strong>the</strong> Microsoft Azure platform. With infinite
scalability, <strong>the</strong> new product delivers long-term, secure retention of unstructured data including
journal email for regulatory compliance and litigation preparedness, file system work files,
individual PSTs, system generated reports, and all <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r unstructured data floating around
<strong>the</strong> enterprise. This capability provides organizations a fast and seamless way to speed <strong>the</strong>ir
move to <strong>the</strong> cloud by enabling <strong>the</strong> elimination of <strong>the</strong>ir costly on-premises unstructured data
silos, including <strong>the</strong>ir cumbersome and expensive legacy archive systems.
The cloud has quickly become <strong>the</strong> preferred option for companies to help reverse <strong>the</strong> growing
issues associated with ever-expanding on-premises legacy email archives for regulatory
compliance and eDiscovery as well as <strong>the</strong> unstructured file system storage. In fact, according
to Osterman Research, migration of content from existing email archives and migration of
content from PSTs were tied as <strong>the</strong> top capabilities needed to support migration to Microsoft
Office 365 TM .
“The ability to migrate archived data to <strong>the</strong> cloud in order to eliminate scalability and
performance limitations inherent in legacy archiving systems, while at <strong>the</strong> same time
improving legal and regulatory capabilities, is essential,” said Michael Osterman, Principal
Analyst with Osterman Research. “Any organization migrating <strong>the</strong>ir archives to <strong>the</strong> cloud in
general, or Microsoft Office 365 in particular, should evaluate and seriously consider
<strong>Archive360</strong>’s platform for doing so.”
With aging systems that cannot scale to accommodate <strong>the</strong> exponential rise in capacity and
usage, organizations are seeing an increased risk and cost for eDiscovery processes and
mounting regulatory compliance exposure. Added to this, legacy systems continue to
negatively affect end-user productivity to <strong>the</strong> point where business performance is impacted.

“Our file system and archiving storage resources were growing at a staggering rate, driving
management costs and hardware consumption through <strong>the</strong> roof,” said Tom Gardner, CEO,
Lion’s Tail. “By using Archive2Azure we were able to quickly and compliantly migrate our
unstructured data to a much lower cost cloud infrastructure. Now we have confidence that we
can scale as needed to retain all of our valuable data without risking compliance exposure.”
With <strong>the</strong> release of Archive2Azure, <strong>Archive360</strong> is delivering <strong>the</strong> first complete solution to
enable companies to fully move <strong>the</strong>ir unstructured and low touch data to <strong>the</strong> cloud by
eliminating legacy email archives, including journal data, free-range PSTs, and o<strong>the</strong>r
unmanaged data with <strong>the</strong> ability to migrate <strong>the</strong>ir data to Office 365 and Microsoft Azure in a
legally defensible manner. The platform currently offers a total of 11 connectors (with more
being added every quarter) --including new connectors for MessageOne, AXS-One, MX Logic,
ArchiveOne/C2C and Gwava -- for seamless and efficient legacy email archive migration to
<strong>the</strong> cloud. This high performance solution delivers complete migration of unstructured data
including file and email data as well as free-range PST files, and ensures a legally defensible
migration while taking advantage of <strong>the</strong> low cost benefits of <strong>the</strong> Microsoft Azure cloud.
Archive2Azure offers <strong>the</strong> following key features:
· Cost-Effective <strong>Compliance</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> -- <strong>Based</strong> on affordable Azure infrastructure,
Archive2Azure supports a legally defensible migration with full chain-of-custody, data fidelity,
and on-going disposition. Fur<strong>the</strong>ring <strong>the</strong> cost savings, <strong>the</strong> solution is offered as a subscription
model without start-up or cancellation fees. No additional hardware is required and <strong>the</strong>
professional services installation is free of charge.
· Real-Time On Demand Indexing -- Archive2Azure is fully integrated with Azure Search

“Today’s regulatory compliance requirements require <strong>the</strong> long-term retention of unstructured
data and email, however legacy systems make this requirement both costly and
cumbersome,” said Bob DeSteno, CEO, <strong>Archive360</strong>. “Using innovative migration technology,
we’re changing <strong>the</strong> dynamics of email archives and o<strong>the</strong>r unstructured data by enabling <strong>the</strong>
cost-effective long term retention and management for low-touch ‘grey’ data that is largely

inactive but for various reasons, needs to be retained. <strong>Based</strong> on <strong>the</strong> Microsoft Azure cloud, it’s
<strong>the</strong> only affordable, secure and scalable solution that completely eliminates costly legacy
systems while minimizing risk.”
