Message Archiver (TMMA)

Trend Micro™ Message Archiver efficiently manages secure email storage in companies ranging in size from 5 to 10,000+ users. It provides fast, easy search capability and reduced storage cost, while enabling e-discovery and compliance with data retention regulations. Message Archiver lowers email storage costs by reducing data on the mail server by as much as 80 percent. The tamper-proof archiving solution allows authorised personnel to search and retrieve emails and attachments quickly throughout an organisation. It uses timestamps and encryption to ensure the authenticity of messages. Message Archiver also protects employee privacy by logging transcripts of privileged-user searches that can be sent to a designated Data Guardian.


How Does Trend Micro Message Archiver Work?


Trend Micro has been protecting data for 20 years and has a new product to protect and preserve email records.

This software product retains a full auditable copy of emails. It indexes messages and attachments so that historic email can be found in seconds. It Uses compression to reduce storage requirements and if a message is sent with an attachment to 10 people it will only save 1 copy of the message and attachment.

Some of the key features of Message Archiver are:

  • Its secure design preserves email integrity
  • There is an option to stub attachments. Stubbing is the process of replacing large attachments with shortcuts in the users inbox and storing the attachments in the archive
  • It supports LDAP / Active Directory to authenticate users
  • Messages are stored with digital fingerprints and encryption to prevent tampering
  • It has a unique data guardian feature protects privacy by sending transcripts of privileged searches to a designated privacy guardian such as a corporate officer or union representative to prevent abuse of the powerful search capability.

Advanced Search for Electronic Discovery

Message Archiver has an advanced linguistic search engine which can granularly search for any email. When it archives email it does full-content indexing of the messages and attachments for quick searches.

You can search by recipient, subject, message body, or attachments;

  • Use wildcards (an asterisk,*) in any field;
  • Limit search results to keywords that are close to one another. This is called proximity search.
  • It can search out keywords with the same root. For example a search for “archiving” would return results also for “archive”, “archives” and “archiver.”
  • Or it can search for words which are similar or even misspelled by using a fuzzy logic technique.

The search results can be saved in a folder or exported from the archive in their native message format. (.eml format)

By 2011 the average email user will send and receive 28 MB of email data per day.  Over 7GB / year!.  Email and attachment size is growing and we are using email now for digital approval and as a record of business.

Some analysts estimate that as much as 80% of a company’s intellectual property can be found in its email system.

Rising email use and data is raising the cost of managing and storing email.

At the same time, because email has become an accepted business record, government and industry regulations increasingly specify that companies must preserve email records. If this were not enough, when a legal dispute occurs, the first request is often a search of the company’s email system.

Current mail in the Exchange server can be reduced in size further with attachment stubbing. Large attachments can be replaced with shortcuts or stubs in the user’s inbox. The attachment is moved to the archive where it is compressed. Users can still quickly access the attachments by clicking on the shortcut

TMMA More Efficient Email Storage

To reduce storage requirements it compresses email and attachments. It also stores attachments with single instance storage. If you send a 5MB PowerPoint file to 10 people, it will only store one copy of the attachment in the archive.

The benefit is faster and less expensive mail server backups.
