Yes, with MailMeter, you can set up granular destruction of messages based on your retention periods and user groups or based on tags or labels attached to a message from the MailMeter Archive.
When you perform a search, the data is queried against the index file based on your search query. Only when you click on the email, the software retrieves it in an uncompressed format. This indexing method allows for swift and efficient email searches. ComplyKEY’s MailMeter software also handles message compression and single-instance storage.
Implementation takes just a few hours, not days. Our software is user-friendly, requires minimal training, and is straightforward to deploy, manage, and operate.
End-users cannot delete messages from the archive. Administrators can set up retention policies, which can be date-based or message-specific, to meet any litigation hold requirements. Any searchable criteria, such as keywords or mailboxes, can be used to set up a retention period.

Yes, our MailMeter products support data migration. Migration and ingestion of existing customer data are handled by the software from files in either .pst or .eml format. The process includes actively importing and ingesting local .pst files. This solution is invaluable during email platform migrations.
The advantages of a software-based solution include greater deployment flexibility, disaster recovery readiness, and scalability. Additionally, it provides efficient space management and quick data accessibility in case of server issues.
With MailMeter, simply point our software to the network location where the PST files are stored or to individual PST files. The software imports the data into the Archive, analyzing emails and attachments to keep only one copy accessible to relevant users. This can significantly reduce storage space.
MailMeter collects emails in three ways for Exchange: Historical capture, PST import, and Journaling. Each method has unique advantages to suit your needs.
Archiving updates, the file reporting database every 5 minutes, ensuring an accurate representation of your server. It also simplifies file and folder retrieval, making it quick and straightforward.
ComplyKEY Content archiving policies can be customized based on various criteria, including file age, size, type, owner, and more. These policies help you manage your data effectively.
Most clients implement a simple policy based on file age, combined with criteria like folders, to suit their specific needs.
File archiving reduces your backup window by offering visibility into your files, allowing you to clean up older, unnecessary files. You can also apply an ‘archive and delete’ policy for older data, reducing the amount of data to be backed up.
The product consists of two main data components: SQL Server and Archive Volumes. Standard SQL backup utilities can be used for SQL Server, while Archive Volumes only need to be backed up once after the initial full backup.
The SQL server builds at a rate of 1GB per million files, and the archive volumes should be approximately half the size of your server, depending on the number of duplicate files.
We recommend stubbing files (using 1k shortcuts) and moving those instead of the whole files. Additionally, implementing an “archive and delete” policy for older files can reduce the data to be transferred during migration.
Yes, the software is managed via an electronic license key, allowing you to start with reporting and add archiving later without the need for a new installation.
It depends on your policy. If you have an access-based policy, the file won’t be re-stubbed. However, we recommend using the last modified as the policy, so re-archiving occurs if files are accessed.
