EdgeWave Email Archive is a cloud-based SaaS solution designed to archive email communications for compliance, litigation support, and storage management purposes. The solution captures and retains all inbound, outbound, internal, and external email messages in an unalterable state to meet regulatory and legal requirements. The platform archives email before it reaches corporate networks and stores data in secure data centers with 128-bit encryption. Data is encrypted during transit and at rest, with no co-mingling of customer data. The solution uses SSL encryption for communication between web browsers and data centers. The archiving system provides role-based administration through a web-based interface that requires no hardware installation or software deployment. It includes search and retrieval capabilities powered by cloud-compute infrastructure using map-reduce parallel processing for sub-second search response times across large datasets. The solution supports multiple messaging platforms including Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, Novell GroupWise, and Linux-based email environments. It offers email stubbing functionality to reduce on-premises server storage requirements and provides mobile archive access for remote users. EdgeWave Email Archive includes litigation support tools, eDiscovery capabilities, and the ability to import historical email data. The platform features redundant data centers for high availability and disaster recovery, with unlimited storage capacity that scales without additional infrastructure costs.
