6. 6Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: Content and Email Archiving Market Overview The archive market has recently refocused to information governance (access control) and information management (cost control) due to Gmail and Office 365 providing table stakes level archiving. The high adoption of cloud email (including managed service providers) has reduced the traditional storage management use case for email only archiving. The content explosion brought about by web 2.0 tools and expanded regulatory oversight has put pressure on organizations to control and audit corporate-owned information sources. The increased need for sophisticated compliance tools such as search and sampling requires high quality indexed storage. As cloud productivity becomes the norm, look for archiving vendors to expand to include information rights management as a key tool. The “disk is cheap” mentality will require an integrated set of storage and information management tools to control content growth. This will be a key differentiator for archive products moving forward. As archiving moves from an Exchange control product to part of a content management strategy, it will continue to expand the features that are offered. Content analytics that are used to group documents and emails based on specific terms will become mainstream knowledge management tools. How it got here Where it’s going As the market evolves, capabilities that were once cutting edge become default and new functionality becomes differentiating. Exchange archiving has become a Table Stakes capability and should no longer be used to differentiate solutions. Instead focus on hierarchical storage management and full text-based search to get the best fit for your requirements.
