Automated drop-in e-mail archiving appliance is an easy-to-use, low-cost forensic tool.
The ComplianceVault06 Email Archiving & Retrieval Appliance is an integrated hardware/software solution that captures all of a company's email on a continuous basis, from a virtually unlimited number of email boxes. It provides email search results with a high evidential weight. Search and retrieval is fast and easy, whether for HR investigations, dispute resolutions, or discovery orders. Advanced search features facilitate forensic analysis, and the device provides a full audit trail.
The appliance works with Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, and virtually any IMAP or POP3 email systems. In addition to its use in legal discovery, it also allows companies to meet a variety of email retention needs, whether related to regulatory compliance (SEC 17a-3 and 17a-4, NASD 3110, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, etc), or simply for good business practice in electronic records management – as relates the requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, for example.
The ComplianceVault06 appliance can be used either alone, so that all email is saved to disk storage only, or the device can be combined with a Sony AIT tape library to automatically store the same emails on tape as well, which provides additional archiving flexibility (for example, a second copy for offsite storage). Either standard AIT tape cartridges or WORM AIT cartridges can be used. WORM tape media provides a permanent, non-alterable, tamper-proof repository of all email – sent to and from the firm as well as internal email – suitable for legal and regulatory compliance.
Also available with all ComplianceVault06 models is the option of selecting tape encryption, to safeguard stored and transported tapes. Intradyn's Encryptape technology is based on the same type of encryption used by the U.S. federal government, the highest level available, which is AES 256-bit – called "strong encryption."
"Email has replaced the telephone as the leading business communication tool," said Gary Doan, Intradyn's CEO. "We developed the original ComplianceVault™ to help brokerage firms comply with the SEC's strict email retention and retrieval regulations, but we discovered that a large number of our customers were not purchasing the appliance to meet these specific regulations. They were smaller public and private companies, trade organizations, municipal governments, and others. We received requests for additional features to make legal discovery easier, and for encryption of tapes, for secure storage and transportation. These customers also wanted to save search sets to run at regular intervals, and to have additional audit and export functions."
Doan continued: "Traditional email backups are typically not searchable, and do not prevent tampering or provide a forensic audit trail. Email archiving with the ability to search the entire email and attachments, and retrieve, with the ability to export the findings with minimal effort, is something virtually every company now needs."
The new ComplianceVault06 models will ship by the first week of October and are available through Intradyn's resellers. The bundled solution, which includes an optional Sony AIT tape library, is available through Sony's reseller channel.
The model numbers for the new ComplianceVault06™ appliance (and respective disk capacities) are as follows: CV061U320 (320 GB), CV061U500 (500 GB), CV061U800 (800 GB), and CV061U1000 (1 TB). MSRP pricing ranges from $8,995 to $11,495.
