If you’re running out of primary storage, implementing expensive upgrades, seeing primary storage devices running slower or finding it tricky to manage all of the data in your systems, the answer to that question is a definitive yes!

Using Barracuda Essentials for Office 365, we have created a highly effective Archiving-as-a-Service (AaaS) package to offer complete storage that will enable you to meet demanding compliance requirements and address eDiscovery requests quickly and efficiently.

There are numerous solution advantages to implementing the service including the fact that Barracuda Essentials for Office 365 uses journaling and SMTP to gather and secure all email at the time it is sent and received. An accurate, unmodified copy of every email sent and received is stored outside of the production email environment, including details of all recipients for mail sent to distribution lists (perfect if you’re a marketing firm or regularly communicate with your client database).

No hardware or software is required and mobile applications for iOS, Android and Outlook Add-In ensure ‘anytime, anywhere’ user access, even when offline. And it’s not just email messages that can be archived. Calendars, tasks, contacts, public folders and Skype for Business (Lync) conversations can also be stored, along with support for Exchange and Exchange Online journaling and import if required.

Thanks to Barracuda Essentials, when it comes to eDiscovery and Legal Hold, there is no conflict between retention for operational compliance and legal hold for search and discovery exercises. Using an indexed archive, extensive search, auditing/permissions, legal hold and export are all supported, helping to facilitate both eDiscovery and retention.

User experience is excellent all-round with an intuitive interface and formidable feature set that delivers fast and easy search and retrieval, so you’re never left waiting. With Barracuda Essentials, compliance archive productivity is improved and enables direct access to historical information via desktop or mobile apps, allowing you to search and retrieve every email sent and received. Yes, even the ones that have been deleted from a user’s inbox!

What’s more, we employ highly secure, geographically distributed Cloud data centers with AES 256-bit encryption at rest and in transit, public key encryption, and isolated customer metadata databases to provide unrivalled security and ultimate peace of mind.

Powerful archiving with flexible management, easy user access, advanced search capabilities, and the sole use of highly secure Cloud data centers; the benefits of Barracuda Essentials within our Archiving-as-a-Service package are clear and they can easily, and cost effectively, be applied to your organisation to further improve productivity and potential.
