Email has been widely adopted by worldwide enterprises as an important business communication tool; consequently, a great deal of enterprise knowledge is stored in the messaging system. However, according to a survey from Japan , up to 70% of corporate information leakage is from within, indicating that most enterprises encounter problems with managing information orderly and effectively.
Since the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was drawn up in the U.S. in 2002, requesting enterprises to maintain all electronic files and email for at least five years, many countries have started paying serious attention to email archiving, auditing and management, and urge the relevant policies to be carried out.
This is when MailBase emerges to perfectly meet the demand of enterprises to comply with regulatory content auditing and information retrieval. Utilizing the self-developed kernel of Openfind Mail2000 messaging system and its powerful search engine, administrators, via MailBase's friendly web-based interface, can archive all inbound, outbound and local-to-local messages to achieve complete retention. The powerful and large-scale search engine allows full-text, multi-field and attachment search, enabling users to retrieve information instantly and accurately.
Openfind MailBase, an enterprise mail archive and management system, provides archive, audit, search and retrieval for all inbound, outbound and local-to-local messages. With its excellent performance and features, MailBase enables enterprises to manage the information system in the most cost-effective way.
Complete email retention Unlike the common integrated gateway that can only retain inbound and outbound emails, the efficient message replication architecture of MailBase can thoroughly retain local-to-local messages, too. Independent from the mail server, MailBase is not only free from the problem of multilayer delivery, but it also possesses the stability of original mail transmission process.
Real-time, large-scale search The real-time search ability of MailBase enables users to execute immediate search for new messages with much higher efficiency than the traditional database SQL.
Full-text search for multiple file formats
The friendly web-based interface offers complete search features. Users may search multiple fields such as 'From', 'Subject', 'Message Contents' and specific flags to retrieve information with precision. MailBase also supports full-text search for attachments of different formats.
Privilege control and complete query logs The privilege control of MailBase can be integrated with directory services such as LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory, allowing users to effectively configure and manage user privileges in the search results. In addition, the system records all query logs, including the search criterion and who/where to query, to ensure system security and avoid.
Flexible email archiving and storage management
To comply with various standard compliances worldwide, enterprises have to retain messages for years. However, of the massive volume of archived messages, often only a fraction can be stored into an expensive on-line storage. To solve this problem, MailBase presents the unique 'mount' and 'unmount' functions that simply follow the Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) policy of enterprises. The system automatically rotates the repository at regular intervals, helping the IT department to deploy on-line, near-line and off-line storage
