Each area of your business is usually managed, so why shouldn’t you manage your data
in the same way? ApexStore helps you control the progress from data creation to archive and eventually to disposal, all in a way that optimises storage and access. This is facilitated by managing data growth through the cleaning, limiting and deleting of data whilst also archiving and tiering data where required. 

Through this advanced storage management, you can align the value of your data to a suitable storage medium and thus control your costs. This method also allows you to accurately protect data with the relevant protection method, thus ensuring business continuity.

ApexStore offers archiving solutions from ZANTAZ through messaging specialists, Essential Computing, to help manage storage overload and meet regulatory and legal requirements. Any company should now look at the following issues with regards to information lifecycle management and how archiving can help:

1. Do you have a data retention policy in place?
2. How is data retention currently handled within the organisation?  Has it arisen from a corporate policy or industry regulation?
3. Is the organisation liable if data is not managed in line with regulations?
4. Does email management cost valuable employee time with regards to mailbox limits?
5. Do large data sets, such as email, impact on network performance or create problems for backup and recovery?
6. Is the time taken to recover information for regulatory/legal purposes satisfactory?

ApexStore can help you address the above questions whilst improving efficiency, such as systems and email performance whilst helping you to manage risk and meet with compliance regulations.
