A prescriptive email storage data model

IBM Content Collector for Email provides collection and archiving capabilities for cloud and on-prem email systems. It helps improve efficiency, reduce IT costs and meet legal and compliance obligations for message retention. Using a value-based approach, it aligns the data archiving cost with the value of that data and enables you to design policies for reducing storage space while retaining frequently used data.

Features

• **Searching for archived email: **Content Collector allows you to search documents by date, sender, recipients, subject, contents, and attachment contents, or any combination of these.
• **Restoring archived documents: **Restoring and viewing is available for all documents that were archived from a mailbox, a personal storage file, or a local Notes archive.
• **Archiving to a central repository: **Content Collector stores the entire email content into a central repository, deduplicated instances and searchable XML.
• Applying retention policies to individual messages
• By associating centrally managed retention schedules with archived email, you can manage the lifecycle of an email and then defensibly dispose of it.
• **Deduplication: **Content Collector removes duplicate copies of the same email, as well as duplicate copies of attachments across different email documents.

Benefits

• **Efficiently manage email: **Filter out irrelevant data to control email data growth.
• **Meet compliance expectations: **Manage eDiscovery searches, legal holds and records retention from a single system.
• **Lower data volume on servers: **Reduce costs by removing the need to archive unneeded data.
• **Messaging technology support: **Archive documents across various email messaging systems.
