Enhanced ability to survive virus attacks through superior e-mail server management

Eliminate message size restrictions and decrease server downtime

The Enterprise Message Center
EMC EmailXtender automatically stores and archives all e-mail and attachments into an Enterprise Message Center. Then, Ex enables you to quickly and efficiently access this information. EMC EmailXtender's Message Center allows up-to-the-minute recovery from virus attacks, and eliminates e-mail server bottlenecks and message size restrictions through superior server management.

Automatic Message Management
EMC EmailXtender also enables you to create policies to categorize and manage your e-mail, making the most out of limited storage resources. You can control the life-cycle and retention of every e-mail message and attachment that crosses your system.

Access and Search Capability

Enterprise Message Center Integrity
All of your e-mail and all attachments are stored together. Retrieval of e-mails and attachments has never been so easy - forget about those time-consuming archiving and retrieval processes on the local PC. And the messages look just as they did when first received - the e-mail is tamper-proof throughout its life-cycle. Ex helps you comply with SEC, NARA, FOIA and DOD regulations.

Enterprise Message Center Administration
EMC EmailXtender seamlessly extends your message store, including diagnostic tools to assess the message store and provide you with real-time status and resource reporting. Size restrictions are no longer a limitation, either for your mailbox or your messages.

Scalable and Flexible for Enterprise Needs

EMC EmailXtract
With EMC EmailXtract, you can centrally scrutinize messages and attachments to quickly identify and purge virus-infected messages and attachments and assure compliance with corporate and legal rules by quickly finding and deleting confidential or inappropriate e-mails. You can also free up space through automatic (or scheduled) deletion of expired convenience copies of messages and attachments and analyze mailbox activity by measuring top e-mail sources, charting monthly storage use, viewing storage space used, and more.

EMC EmailXtract helps e-mail administrators protect message server uptime, reduce the cost of management, and improve and boost system productivity. Deploy on either Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes/Domino to eliminate viruses and/or problematic content; decrease server backup time and expand capacity; and monitor usage in order to identify problems, improve planning, and streamline processes.

Virus Recovery
EMC EmailXtract quickly identifies and eliminates virus-infected messages by searching the subject lines or attachments and destroying messages known to be viruses before users can open them. EMC EmailXtract's deletion task purges the entire message from the server, not just the virus attachment, to minimize user concerns of ongoing infection. It can also be used to eliminate any message with problematic content by searching for messages or attachments that contain specific text.

Messaging System Management
Using the analysis capabilities of the EMC EMC EmailXtract tool, administrators can more accurately monitor system usage. The message server can be analyzed by total used capacity, attachment size vs. message size, attachment type, as well as other criteria. EMC EmailXtract will also provide an overall analysis of how much space could be saved if attachments were archived or deleted on the system, allowing you to better manage your space needs and plans.

System Monitoring
Administrators can monitor the system and define rules based on specific criteria in order to eliminate infected messages before they can reach end-user desktops and cause further damage. This same feature can be used to eliminate spam and other junk mail as well as e-mail that contains inappropriate or objectionable material.

Scalable for Enterprise Needs
With enterprise level scalability, the EMC EmailXtract component provides administrators with a complete set of management tools for their Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes/Domino messaging systems to protect your company's e-mail system from misuse or virus attack.
