I’ll bet most of you don’t have to deal with 90K+ email mailboxes in your archives! Here’s how S2|DATA worked with FTI Technology to reduce it to 3K!
The latest case study published by S2|DATA discusses the parameters of the project, as follows:
A global bank aimed to reduce the financial and reputational risks associated with maintaining thousands of historical mailboxes. The email data was located in Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and North America (NA) within an outdated and unsupported EMC Networker environment retained on Dell Data Domain devices. The original storage infrastructure was spread worldwide across multiple outsourced data centers. To meet the client’s deadlines, the goal was to consolidate this environment into two locations and preserve over 3,000 of the 90,000 mailboxes before defensibly destroying all others and decommissioning the aging Data Domain appliances and EMC Networker environment.
Custodians by the numbers:
- 90,000+ mailboxes scanned
- 17,000 custodians globally
- 3,000 identified for legal hold
To address the challenges and achieve a 97% reduction in data retained unnecessarily, S2|DATA provided solutions alongside FTI Technology’s expert team to support the client throughout the data remediation exercise. S2|DATA’s proprietary TRACS platform helped in handling legacy data systems, scraping metadata and culling custodians to achieve the client’s objectives.
So, what was the multi-stage solution delivered by the team at S2|DATA and FTI to address the challenges? And what were the final results? Find out here, it’s only one click! Defensible deletion will never ROT! 🤣
So, what do you think? Have you ever had to manage as many as 90K+ email mailboxes before? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
