Challenge | Solution

AXS-One helps organizations take control of their electronic records. By providing a single, scalable platform optimized for multiple data types, the AXS-One Compliance Platform enables organizations to centralize and enforce the management of enterprise-wide electronic records throughout their lifecycle. From initial capture through final destruction, documents and data generated by different applications including e-mail, instant messages, desktop applications (word processors, spreadsheets, images), legal applications, and ERP applications, can be centrally managed according to internal policies and regulations. With the AXS-One Compliance Platform, organizations can...

• Significantly reduce the costs associated with managing and storing exponentially growing volumes of disparate records

• Manage all electronic records throughout their lifecycle in accordance with corporate policies and regulations

• Reduce the risks associated with managing and retaining electronic records

• Quickly and accurately respond to electronic discovery requests

• Secure and preserve archived records throughout their lifecycle

• Have the flexibility and scalability to meet future needs

Leading Price / Performance Ratio Across Large Record Volumes

Unlike other vendors, AXS-One's unique compliant archiving methodology does not involve a third party relational database. Records are written together with their metadata (information about the record that helps the system manage it according to organizational policies/regulations as well as helps people locate it when conducting a search) directly to the file system or storage media. This methodology together with the solution's flexible architecture enables:

• superior search and retrieval performance across large data stores
  In May 2005, AXS-One announced Version 3.5 of its Compliance Platform featuring Rapid-AXS™ in response to market requirements for Google-like search speeds across large volumes of e-mail. Rapid-AXS's patent-pending architecture is built on a grid-computing model and leverages commodity hardware to deliver exceptional search speeds. More

• high performance ingestion of legacy records
  Large organizations are increasingly looking for e-mail archiving solutions that can not only archive new mail from the day of implementation, but also quickly archive legacy mail stored on backup tapes, file servers and other storage media. The volume of legacy mail for large enterprises is impressive, in some cases totaling 160 terabytes.
  
  Unlike competitive solutions that rely on monolithic processes with costly hardware to achieve comparable performance, the AXS-One Compliance Platform enables parallel archival processing across loosely coupled software components and commodity hardware that , together, can be linearly scaled to meet large volume and high speed ingestion requirements for legacy e- mail and other content. High-performance ingestion processes are based on user-specific configurations deployed and delivered by AXS-One's professional services organization. The result is linear scalability and the best price-performance ratio.

• reduced resource requirements
  No database administrators (DBAs) are required and, unlike competitive solutions that rely on expensive, proprietary hardware to achieve comparable performance results, AXS-One leverages low-cost commodity hardware.
