GFI Archiver enables companies to archive and manage their email, calendar and file history in one place and provides easy access to the data when they need it. GFI Archiver is an essential addition to any backup strategy because it keeps a readily available version of users’ email conversations as well as important files.
The new version of GFI Archiver 2015 includes:
Email – and much more GFI Archiver empowers companies to effectively store and manage all their business-critical communication and important files. It also gives managers access to valuable business insight through a series of reports based on the wealth of company information in the archive. With GFI Archiver, companies can securely archive emails, files and folders, calendar entries, faxes, SMS and voice messages in one central store. All business communications are stored in their original format, and can be quickly and easily searched and retrieved at any time. GFI Archiver enables companies to manage their business communications efficiently, helping them save on storage costs and improve productivity while assisting with compliance. Companies also receive maximum value from their business-critical data archive store when they use GFI Archiver’s MailInsights management reporting tool. Faxes and SMS messages are stored in the archive when you use a fax-email service such as GFI FaxMaker. Voice messages are stored in the archive when you are set up to receive voicemails by email. | Save on storage Automatically archive email into a central store to increase efficiency, improve server performance and reduce storage requirements. GFI Archiver uses single-instance storage (SIS) to store a single copy of a multi-recipient email and its attachments, rather than multiple copies of the same email. In addition, you get even more storage savings as it compresses (and decompresses) email attachments on the fly, which makes better use of your storage resources. With GFI Archiver you can manage your archive stores automatically, allowing you to define the size of each archive store and how often you wish to roll over to a new archive store. GFI Archiver also scales according to your needs. You can use SQL Express plus NTFS if you are a small- to medium-size organization with a relatively low email volume, affording you further savings on SQL Server® licensing costs. Larger organizations with a high volume of emails can opt to store their email archive in SQL. |
Enable file collaboration The File Archiving Assistant enables global employees and teams to work on shared documents without relying on third-party online file storage. All your important company data is stored in one secure, compliant and searchable archive. The FAA component archives every change that your users save on files, and creates a file history that is accessible via the GFI Archiver interface. Users can retrieve files in their older state or also resolve conflicts in case a file is changed by two or more users simultaneously. | Compliance and e-discovery Boost your ability to meet compliance standards and be prepared for e-discovery requests by archiving all company communications in a secure, tamper-proof store. Companies around the world are required by various laws and regulations to maintain electronic records and correspondence for a fixed period of time, after which they may be destroyed. Records must be guaranteed to be complete and stored in their original form. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines and even jail. GFI Archiver boosts the ability to meet compliance standards by archiving all correspondence in a secure, tamper-proof store for a pre-determined period of time. Companies can set up archiving rules and retention policies to categorize emails, and ensure they are stored for the required period of time. The solution also includes audit-trail functionality that monitors database and user activity, enabling companies to prove that archived emails have not been altered. In the case of e-discovery or data requests, companies can then use the advanced search features to quickly and easily find and retrieve the data they need. |
Access anywhere, anytime Losing or deleting an important email, file or attachment can be a nightmare, especially when you are away from the office. With GFI Archiver, managers and employees have peace of mind, knowing they can access their email history and business-critical documents virtually anywhere. Users can view email in the archive seamlessly from Outlook, via any IMAP-enabled device such as iPhone, iPad and Android. The GFI Archiver web interface also gives users access to their archived files and file history. GFI Archiver also ensures business continuity in the case of server downtime or loss of connectivity. When email is down, users can still gain entry to their email history. | Advanced search features Find and retrieve past emails, attachments and files, quickly and easily using advanced search and restore features. GFI Archiver automatically indexes every message, attachment and file before it is saved. This means users can easily find and retrieve lost or deleted emails and faxes again. Users can build complex search rules based on date, sender, recipient and keywords. Once a search is defined, the user can save the search criteria for easy reference at a later date, similar to Outlook search folders. GFI Archiver also features a fast search option that includes exclusion parameters like “and,” “or” and others, thereby enabling users to perform more targeted searches. Once you find the required item, it takes just one click to restore it back to the mailbox or in the case of files, download to a location of your choice. GFI Archiver restores any archived emails (even deleted emails), resending them to the user as an attachment. |
Business intelligence reports Identify business issues, minimize legal risk and manage productivity by reporting on the valuable business data found in your archive. GFI Archiver’s Mail Insights provides an easy-to-use, web-based interface that lets companies securely generate PDF reports to help businesses identify risk and manage email productivity through actionable information found in their email history. Reports can be scheduled and delivered by email or issued on demand. GFI Archiver can extract business intelligence from emails and documents in the archive. | Archiving options GFI Archiver offers flexible archiving options to suit your business needs; choose to archive everything or just the items you need via rules or specific emails or folders. Businesses can choose to use journaling functionality to archive all email-generated communications. They can also choose to use rule-based archiving to selectively archive emails based on certain criteria. The benefits of archiving are available to companies running Exchange and other servers too. Administrators can define archiving rules based on sender, recipient, keywords or a combination of the three criteria. This feature provides flexibility to the administrator who wants automatic archiving but also wants to control which emails get archived. Administrators also have the option to delete archived emails, if required. GFI Archiver also offers a manual archiving option that allows individual users to decide which emails they want to archive. Users can manually archive a single email or a whole folder of emails from within Outlook, using a convenient Outlook connector. An organization does not need to be running Exchange to benefit from GFI Archiver: It can also be used with other email servers and can poll email from any mail server that supports IMAP and Active Directory. In fact, any business, large or small, that is using Outlook can manually archive emails regardless of where they are hosted. |
Office 365™, Google Apps™, Exchange and others Whether you are running Office 365, Google Apps for business or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 up to 2013, GFI Archiver works harmoniously alongside, providing businesses with valuable additional archiving benefits, including improved email search, enhanced compliance and valuable business intelligence reports. Specific benefits of using GFI Archiver as your archiving platform include, access to archived emails on the go from any device; a compliance-ready and tamper proof email store with audit trail; more control over company information by storing data locally; fast and efficient email search across millions of emails; file archiving and business intelligence reports. GFI Archiver also supports other email servers such as Kerio Connect, or servers that support a journaling feature. If this is not possible, and Outlook is used in the organization, then companies can still use the File Archiving Assistant to archive directly from Outlook. | Calendar archiving GFI Archiver enables you to archive calendar items that contain important meeting information. Historical calendar items are visible from a calendar view in the GFI Archiver user interface. Calendar items are also available from the GFI Archiver IMAP server, making them accessible from your mobile device. The search features have also been extended to calendar items and meeting requests, with a simple search box available solely to search for these items. Users can easily search for calendar items, meeting requests, and even attachments within the calendar item. |
GFI FaxMaker integration Easily identify, search and retrieve faxes from the archive when sent by GFI FaxMaker. For companies that purchase GFI FaxMaker as well as GFI Archiver, managing, searching and retrieving the different types of email-enabled messages is especially easy. GFI Archiver automatically flags email-enabled faxes sent by GFI FaxMaker and allows for them to be easily distinguished in the archive. Users are then able to create their own customized searches specifically for faxes. Customers who purchase GFI Archiver and GFI FaxMaker together can extend the benefits of email archiving to faxes and SMS messages, and capitalize on new ways to increase workforce efficiency. By archiving and managing emails, fax and SMS messages together in a central location, you can eliminate time wasted searching for old messages, and be sure your electronic communications history is complete, secure and easily accessible. | Administrator tools GFI Archiver features a streamlined installation process that can automatically configure Exchange journaling and folder synchronization. The solution also features a post-install wizard that enables administrators to correctly configure their archive settings. Organizations that use or plan to use virtualization on their network can install and use a range of GFI products with confidence. GFI Archiver supports and runs on the most common virtualization technologies in use, namely VMware, Microsoft Virtual Server and Hyper-V. |

Pricing Note:
Business email systems have one design issue inherent in them which causes admins problems; users can delete messages. Deleting a message can cause all sorts of challenges to the business trying to maintain compliance and accountability, along with trying to maintain information availability. The answer to this problem is email archiving, and GFI MailArchiver is just the ticket for the small to medium enterprise looking to secure its messaging system from loss.
GFI MailArchiver offers several benefits to the business, the email administrator and the end user. Here’s a quick summary of just a few of these:
GFI MailArchiver can be installed on an Exchange server, or on its own server platform separate from your Exchange system. It is available in both 32 and 64 bit flavours, and can run on both Server 2003 and 2008. With modest hardware requirements (beyond sufficient disk space to meet your storage requirements), it can easily be introduced to almost any infrastructure.
Once installed, as the administrator you will be presented with a wizard to setup your first storage group. Of course you can make changes later on, but you should consider the storage requirements and retention policy(ies) you will need, and size your storage accordingly. I suggest you use a SAN that can be expanded over time, and don’t overlook the additional tape capacity an archive will requuire.
After setting up the storage group, a wizard will guide you through establishing an archiving policy. This includes creating rule to determine what is archived, assigning the users who will be archived, and setting a policy for how long their email will need to be archived. GFI MailArchiver is very powerful in this regard, as you can set multiple policies based on sender, receiver, subject, body content, etc. Do not believe that you can set a one size fits all policy for email archiving. HIPPA, HR, payroll, and PCI compliance will all influence your policies, but you may not want to archive email from your marketing team the same way.
Wouldn’t it be nice to go get all those old emails sitting around in PST files and add them to your archive? Of course it would, and GFI MailArchiver has an excellent tool for importing PST files, both if they’re local or on network shares. By adding PST content into your archive, you can relieve your servers from stress, ensure data availability and search the content of these old messages. Plus, you’ll end the need for PST repair, and consolidate all the intellectual capital currently scattered across countless files stored on laptops, desktops, and file shares. Users will no longer have to mount multiple files in an unproductive search for that one old email that has the crucial piece of information they need.
What? You didn’t know about search? That is one of my favourite things about GFI MailArchiver. Users can search their own archive (or anyone else’s to which they have permissions) for messages based on practically any criteria they could imagine, including inside attachments; even when they are compressed. And the best part is that they use a web portal.
GFI MailArchiver offers Microsoft Outlook integration, where one can access and search through the old archived emails via a separate mailbox. Additionally, a web interface is also provided as an alternate way to access messages in case someone wants to look for a recent message while you are patching the mailbox server. This “double-duty” feature adds some great value to an already impressive application.
The portal is not the only way users can access archives. The Outlook Connector enables users to maintain an administrator configured cache of archived files for offline access. Unlike a PST, this cache is a client side copy of the data, which can be rebuilt as needed, and is completely managed by the server.
GFI MailArchiver offers great archiving, search, PST import, and user access to archives, while also supporting multiple retention policies. It is a great add-on to your Exchange infrastructure, and cabe dropped into place in an afternoon without introducing any changes to your email infrastructure. Check it out for yourself.
