Why Defender?
Archiving and storage in one simple, affordable network appliance
ArcMail is Easy to Buy, Easy to Install, Easy to Operate, Easy to Use, and it is priced to fit into any budget!
Easy to buy: Defender comes with everything you need to meet your email archiving needs. With on-board storage, comprehensive archiving, data compression, disk management software, and easy to use web-based search and retrieve functions in one network appliance, there's nothing else to install, nothing else to manage, and best of all, nothing else to buy.
Easy to install: With everything integrated into one network appliance, Defender setup requires just standard network configuration and setting the journaling function on your mail server. The difficult installation, setup, database and storage management chores are taken care of.
Easy to operate: Once Defender is set up, archiving is automatic. Every single email is captured and stored without any on-going IT or end user intervention. It just happens! Daily status and real-time exception reports provide continual performance information and compatibility with Active Directory� allows for automatic user account management.
Easy to use: The simple web-based interface makes it easy for administrators or end users to find and retrieve the information they need and allows for access to email from anywhere there's a web connection (depending on individual company network policy). Advanced features like full-text and wild-card searches provide powerful searching capabilities.
How ArcMail Defender Works
ArcMail Defender is a self-contained email archiving appliance. All necessary software and storage hardware are included within the Defender, except for those models designed to archive email for Novell GroupWise; an additional software gateway is provided with the archiving appliance for GroupWise and easily installed by the customer.
After connecting Defender to the network, the mail server is configured to send copies of all inbound, outbound and internal messages to the ArcMail Defender appliance. This is called a journal process. When the Defender receives these messages, it fully indexes and archives the email headers, bodies and attachments in real-time so that they can be searched, viewed and retrieved with the Defender’s search engine.
After the indexing information is stored in the database, the raw message bodies are compressed and stored in the Defender file system to improve database performance and system scalability. Each message is stored only once to maximize storage efficiency.
Users and administrators may search, view and retrieve email by logging in to Defender’s secure web interface. The Defender uses SSL and encrypts all data between the appliance and the user, so email does not travel unencrypted across the network. Users can be given permission to search email sent to or from them, while administrators can search the entire enterprise email archive. Defender can also be made accessible through the firewall and accessed remotely using any web browser, including PDA devices.
