29 © February 9, 2004 Novell Inc. 29 The Solution GWArchive Archive email older than 180 days Users cannot delete until email is Archived Archives are stored centrally on a SAN Publish all email to XML format

30 © February 9, 2004 Novell Inc. 30 In Conclusion  Email Retention is clearly a major concern at all levels of industry and government  GroupWise & GroupWise archives provide a viable method of retaining corporate messages and complying with organizational policies, but with clear limitations  Application-independence and format-neutrality (i.e. XML + plain text) are critical attributes for any data destined to reside in long term storage (5+ years).  Third party tools allow organizations to properly deploy and manage both retention/deletion policies and the resulting data sets that are generated as a result of these policies.
