DataMills tackles challenges posed to organizations which move their email data to Google Apps: Automating the collection process of PST files before they get migrated; as well as providing an on-premises backup of the Google Apps email data.
Email cloud services are catching on, and a rising number of enterprises are deciding to move their email services over to Google Apps. This move involves phased data migration processes, which is far more complex than these companies initially expected.
The first daunting challenge associated with such migration, which DataMills solutions meet head-on, is locating and aggregating the Outlook data file (PST).
In most organizations, PST files contain more than 90% of the email and contact data, making it the biggest resource of email data which should be migrated. PST files can be located anywhere on the user’s computer or on the network, and they cannot be simply copied while they are in use by Outlook, which creates a very difficult and time-consuming challenge to aggregate them.
“Our PST Aggregation products provide unique tools that automate the collection of scattered enterprise PST files into a central location”, explained Yoram Barzilai, CEO of DataMills. “This way, migration products such as Google’s GAMME (Google Apps Migration for Microsoft® Exchange®) server will be able to seamlessly and automatically migrate the PST files to Google Apps.”
Some organizations, instead of migrating their existing PST files to the cloud, prefer to use our PST aggregation tools for creating a central PST archive for future reference.
These tools enable organizations to achieve substantial savings that could reach hundreds or even thousands of manual work hours associated with such email migration processes, as well as eliminating human errors.
“Another aspect of migrating into the cloud is that some enterprise customers are reluctant to completely surrender their email data without having a local copy”, says Yoram Barzilai. “For those customers that continue to use Outlook as their email client, our EdgeSafe PST2PST Backup solution should reduce this concern, by enabling them to keep a local copy of their data in central on-premises location.
This backup copy will be seamlessly synchronized with the Google Apps email (email contacts, calendar, etc.) data in an efficient incremental manner and will be stored in a standard PST file format which can be shuttled and immediately used by Outlook.”

Microsoft's Exchange Server 2010 new "Archiving, Retention, and Discovery" features. A peek at future technology for regulation and reporting. See Microsoft website for details.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 added a whole new feature set: “Archiving, Retention, and Discovery” (see description here). Many Windows (and Office) system admins believe that this new Exchange 2010 server is a major improvement over the previous Exchange 2007. Microsoft essentially gives users a point-and-click archive and restore capability that every user can perform on their own. What a great idea at first look. Backup is different from archive however, backup is a complete copy of the item rather than moving it between mailboxes. A second look reveals how Microsoft has added some policy capability like “Retention Policies”, “Legal Hold” and “Role-based Access Control (RBAC)”. To use some of these features, Microsoft moved mail messages from local PST storage to the Exchange Server. In corporate deployment this means more than just purchasing more central storage.
