C2C Filters BRITA's email

Leading Water Optimization Expert Employs ArchiveOne for Easy to Use, Yet Powerful Email Archiving Solution

C2C, a leading supplier of enterprise email archiving software, announced today that BRITA Water Filter Systems Ltd in Great Britain has selected C2C’s ArchiveOne Solution to assure the retention, protection and recovery of its vital email data.

For almost 40 years, BRITA has been among the leading experts in the field of water optimization. The company manufactures water filtration products for household and professional applications, which are available in over 70 countries worldwide.

At BRITA IT Manager Tim Henry was looking for a way to resolve mailbox size issues and stop dependence on PST files. “Capacity within Exchange and the use of PST files was becoming an issue,” says Henry. “After a few years some of these PST files were massive – and they were multiplying! We needed a better long-term solution and focused our search on a cost effective, easy to use, yet powerful email archiving solution which would allow us to enforce mailbox quotas without resorting to PST files. ArchiveOne from C2C met all of our criteria,” explains Henry.

ArchiveOne searches for and in PST files on local disks. Once found, the stored emails can be archived automatically, using central criteria, reducing the PST files size. The archived emails are then included easily into backup processes. Beyond this, ArchiveOne can also be used to migrate all PST file content onto the archive server thereby removing the need for them.

“The administration of ArchiveOne is very intuitive and it has great functionality, we were really impressed. The C2C support team was excellent too and we really appreciated their efforts,” says Henry. “Once rolled out across senior staff, the benefits were immediate. When the Managing Director could not locate an important email, ArchiveOne’s discovery features tracked it immediately.”

Using BRITA’s email policy criteria, ArchiveOne selects and archives information from mailboxes, PST files and public Exchange folders automatically and invisibly. The locations, types and retention periods of the archives are flexible and selectable by administrators. ArchiveOne replaces the messages on email servers with a short summary and a link to the archive. Users are able to access archived email directly from their mail client software, and the email is reinstated to original status quickly and seamlessly.

“The best thing about ArchiveOne is its transparency. You don’t need to think about whether or not to archive the email and if so, to where” says Henry.
