"We like ManageTone for File System’s scalability, ease of use, and the 30% reduction in our backup window. We also like the faster application performance, the lower TCO--- and the minimal resources required to achieve these results.”

ManageTone for Microsoft Exchange

ManageTone for Microsoft Exchange is easy to install and stores application configuration with Active Directory (AD); leveraging your existing infrastructure. Also, using our patent pending approach to journalizing email maintains your existing Exchange Infrastructure. Archive hassle free and be ready for Information Governance™

ManageTone for Microsoft Exchange is designed with infrastructure and business in mind. The client footprint is reduced, ensuring your users receive uninterrupted email through Outlook Clients, Entourage or even Outlook Web Access.

The result is an XML Archive that allows your archive infrastructure to support compelling events best addressed by information architects who know legal, compliance, security and records requirements.

How It Works:

Exchange-how it works
  • Application objects for Overtone servers, policies, archive associations are stored in AD, not a SQL Server

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 This type of functionality ensures that even after 5 million messages have been archived, Overtone’s Archive System works just as smoothly as it did when only a few thousand emails had been archived.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.
