Enterprise Information Archiving (EIA)

A Multi-faceted and Comprehensive Enterprise Archiving Solution

Archiving has become a critical component of sound information governance practices. OpenText Enterprise Information Archiving (EIA) delivers proven solutions for archiving all types of enterprise information in one repository, making it easier to manage and less costly to operate. Tiered storage allows for content to be stored where appropriate, at different stages in its lifecycle. Information is easier to find, improving efficiency and response times, and reducing the time and costs involved in processing eDiscovery requests. OpenText EIA can help reduce long term storage costs, streamline the eDiscovery process, and fulfill your organizational compliance requirements.

OpenText EIA provides a single archiving backbone for all types of enterprise information including:

EmailMicrosoft Exchange, Lotus Notes and Cloud-based email
ERP/Business SuitesSAP, Microsoft SharePoint
File Systems and
Collaboration Tools
Fileshares, Social feeds, mobile content, instant messaging

Cost Effective Storage: OpenText EIA delivers cost-effective and smart storage for high volume Enterprise Information Management (EIM). A tiered approach to storing archived content supports the best storage mechanisms, including optical media, hard disk, cloud, and tape. Single-instance archiving can reduce required storage space significantly, and compression can be activated for each individual archive or content type.

High Performance Archiving: One of the keys to archive performance is the speed with which documents can be stored and pulled from the repository. OpenText EIA’s world-class performance delivers ingestion rates of up to two million documents per hour and retrieval rates of up to five million documents per hour. In addition to write/retrieval speeds, organizations are concerned with scale and physical size of their archiving repositories. OpenText EIA is built for both speed and scale, with ingestion capabilities of 10 million documents per day with a volume of 1 TB per day.

Legacy Decommissioning: Multiple archiving repositories across legacy systems are a complex reality that can grow into a major problem for organizations. These systems are often maintained simply to reference historical information and become more expensive over time to manage as administrator skill sets focus on more current systems. OpenText EIA gives organizations a roadmap to a single archiving strategy in one repository with legacy decommissioning tools to migrate content or manage existing content.
