Overtone’s Archive System supports a distributed architecture or can be used in smaller single-domain environments with as few as 100 users. End users access email without regard to which Overtone server archived their messages. This type of functionality ensures that even after 5 million messages have been archived, Overtone’s Archive System works just as smoothly as it did when only a few thousand emails had been archived.

Moreover, your choice in archive systems will determine your groups overall involvement with IT and Corporate Governance. Avoid the costly time delays that plagued you with tape backup and implement a system freeing you from compliance, discovery, security-posture and records management problems. Our archive system ensures your infrastructure needs are met with a simple and easy to install archive system.
