<strong>Zarafa</strong> <strong>Archiver</strong><br />
Email has quickly evolved into one of, if not the,<br />
most important communication and business tool<br />
used by organizations all over the world. But the<br />
growth in email use has also created a host of<br />
storage issues. Email archiving has proved to be the<br />
way forward for businesses to deal with the<br />
challenge of storing the ever-increasing number of<br />
emails. The <strong>Zarafa</strong> <strong>Archiver</strong>, the newest product in<br />
the <strong>Zarafa</strong> ecosystem, addresses this evolving<br />
need.<br />
<strong>Zarafa</strong> <strong>Archiver</strong>: Performance & Usability<br />
Performance and usability: these are at the heart of<br />
the <strong>Zarafa</strong> <strong>Archiver</strong>. Organizations can open up<br />
new ways to improve their performance without<br />
increasing costs, using the basic <strong>feature</strong>s of the<br />
archive solution. <strong>Zarafa</strong> <strong>Archiver</strong> minimizes mail<br />
store sizes by moving old messages to slower --<br />

and therefore cheaper -- storage. This means that<br />
these older messages can be removed<br />
completely from the more expensive primary<br />
storage servers -- increasing their performance.<br />
By switching to a high-performance primary<br />
server running on SSDs, and using a low cost<br />
NAS server for archiving older messages, the<br />
organization can optimize e-mail usage on a<br />
daily basis.<br />
Optionally, a stub to the archive can be created,<br />
to allow the user to view the archived email and<br />
to open it as if it were a normal message. When a<br />
stubbed message is opened, the body and<br />
attachments are retrieved from the archive<br />
server on the fly.<br />
Alternatively, the archive can be opened as a<br />
shared store in Outlook or the WebAccess, to<br />

Downloads & Reviews<br />
Stores all new incoming mail,<br />
including attachments. As fast access<br />
is required, more expensive storage is<br />
used, e.g. SAS disks.<br />
Mail older than a defined number of<br />
months can be archived, leaving only<br />
a stub with the header stored on the<br />
primary server.<br />
Stores the complete archived mail,<br />
including attachments.<br />
Since archived mail is accessed less<br />
often than current mail, slower<br />
storage can be used, e.g. SATA disks.<br />

Next steps: Deployment & Features<br />
The <strong>Zarafa</strong> <strong>Archiver</strong> leverages existing technology used by<br />
<strong>Zarafa</strong>; once installed on the server, it requires no additional<br />
<strong>software</strong> rollout and applies existing <strong>Zarafa</strong> configuration and<br />
setup procedures for setting up the archive. This includes<br />
support for compressed attachments, single sign-on and<br />
off-line mode. <strong>Zarafa</strong> <strong>Archiver</strong> also enables parallel searching,<br />
using the resources of multiple servers arranged in a cluster.<br />
As a result, the solution is particularly interesting for<br />
enterprises with hundreds to thousands of users.<br />
<strong>Zarafa</strong>’s archive solution is a standalone product and comes<br />
with its own subscription model. In the coming years, the<br />
<strong>feature</strong> set of <strong>Zarafa</strong> <strong>Archiver</strong> will be enhanced, for a highly<br />
customizable product that can range from a mail storage<br />
platform to a full, government-compliant, digital signed<br />
archive solution.<br />
For the organization, creation and rollout of an archiving<br />
strategy, <strong>Zarafa</strong> offers deployment documents and use cases.<br />
<strong>Zarafa</strong> Business Partners can provide any engineering and<br />
consulting services needed. And, if required, these specialized<br />
partners can include <strong>Zarafa</strong> Professional Services in the<br />
project.<br />
The <strong>Zarafa</strong> <strong>Archiver</strong> roadmap for future development includes<br />
integration with the ZCP dAgent for direct delivery of a<br />
received mail into the archive; interfaces in the archiver to<br />
unload the archive to other storage devices; and the<br />
integrated creation of archive stores when creating <strong>Zarafa</strong><br />
users.<br />
