Besides the complexity of designing and deploying digital archiving solutions that fulfill all the regulatory and business requirements of an organization, the costs associated with deploying and operating an electronic archiving solution are considerable. Recognizing that for most companies digital archiving is not a core competency, Arcplace has developed On-Demand Archiving Services that allow companies to make use of a high-end archiving infrastructure at a significantly lower cost than buying and maintaining one in-house.
The Arcplace On-Demand Archiving Services are based on a state-of-the-art fully redundant long-term storage infrastructure located in highly secure data centers in distant physical locations. This long-term storage infrastructure allows the keeping of all archived data online, making end-user access to archived records instantaneous. In addition the archiving infrastructure ensures that all archived records remain readable throughout their lifetime.
For email and file archiving, an appliance located at your site fetches and processes the records to be archived according to your company archiving policy. The appliance then encrypts the records, with a key that is only known by you, before transferring them to the Arcplace central archiving infrastructure.
As part of the On-Demand Archiving service, Arcplace performs the following deployment and operations tasks:
- Deployment
- Appliance installation and configuration
- Long-term storage configuration
- Integration with company application servers and company directory
- Project management
- Operations
- Monitoring - infrastructure, capacity and connectivity
- Maintenance - hardware upgrades, software updates and backups
- Incident handling - customer notification and problem resolution
- Reporting - statistics, status and event logs
In order to ensure that the configuration of the On-Demand Archiving Services complies with all relevant government and business requirements, Arcplace can perform a full requirements analysis as part of its consulting services. In addition, Arcplace can generate a company archiving policy document to be used for configuring the archiving services and for internal or external audits.
