ZANTAZ and IBM Combine for "Predictably Fast Search and Retrieval"
ESG Lab Review Verifies That a Combo of ZANTAZ EAS and IBM System Storage DR550 Can Handle Archiving Needs for Companies of Any Size
Pleasanton, Calif. - May 8, 2007 - ZANTAZ, a recognized leader in content archiving and electronic discovery, today announced that the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) has published an ESG Lab Review that demonstrates the business value of a content archiving solution based on ZANTAZ EAS software and the IBM System Storage DR550. According to the report, "ESG Lab has verified that the speed and random access of the disk-based IBM System Storage DR550, combined with the service-oriented architecture of ZANTAZ EAS software, can be used to handle the archiving needs of any sized company."
The ESG Lab Review emphasizes the challenges companies face in attempting to store and protect email: "Keeping e-mail online and secure is a very difficult task as the amount of messages sent and received continues to grow rapidly. Complicating matters for IT are external factors including regulatory compliance, which have created an increased focus on digital evidence. As a matter of fact, ESG Research indicates that 77% of electronic discovery requests include e-mail and attachments."
"As the ESG Lab Review points out, the amount of digitally archived information will grow tenfold over the next five years. To manage their archives and respond to litigation requests, companies must deploy predictably fast search and retrieval systems," said Cindy Grossman, vice president, IBM System Storage. "Working with ZANTAZ, IBM will continue to help businesses meet the growing challenge of managing and securing retention managed data and other critical information assets with operational efficiency."
The ESG Lab Review is based on testing performed at ZANTAZ' office in Ottawa, Canada, and at Micro Strategies, a ZANTAZ and IBM Premier Business Partner located in Denville, New Jersey. ESG examined the following:
Speed and Reduced Storage Costs - After 10 Microsoft Exchange user mailboxes, each containing 30 MB of sent and received emails, were archived, the Exchange message store, which had consumed 300 MB of primary disk capacity, consumed only 1 MB. End users searches of the archive performed using the Outlook plug-in felt instantaneous.
Compliance - ESG Lab verified that emails archived on an IBM System Storage DR550 could not be altered or deleted via the DR550 console or ZANTAZ EAS, and that files could not be purged prior to the end of the retention period set in ZANTAZ EAS.
Performance - The ESG test showed that an IBM System Storage DR550 and a single ZANTAZ EAS server archived emails at a rate of 42 messages per-second, and six EAS servers archiving to a single IBM DR550 had a sustained rate of 200 messages per-second.
"With a peak performance of 238 messages per-second, a combination of ZANTAZ servers and an IBM DR550 could easily handle 5.8 million messages in an 8-hour day or 17.3 million messages in a sustained 24-hour period," said Roger Erickson, Chief Technology Officer at ZANTAZ. "The ESG Lab Review is proof that companies can now deploy a completely interoperable, fully tested content archiving solution that meets both their performance and compliance requirements."
