Test Phase
Project leader | Matthias Junge, Senior System Administrator, and Marc Haenle, Team Leader IT System Administration |
Objectives |
|
Length of the test phase | Approximately three to four weeks |
Other tested solutions | Microsoft Enterprise CAL’s for archiving in Exchange |
Decision | Mister Spex was above all impressed by the attractive priceperformance ratio. Furthermore, the introduction of MailStore Server allowed the planned migration to Exchange Server 2010 to be carried out significantly faster. |
Live Use
Implementation date | February 2014 |
Number of licensed users | 400 |
IT infrastructure in use |
|
User administration | Users were created by synchronizing with the Active Directory in MailStore Server. |
Archiving method | During set intervals, MailStore Server checks the emails in all mailboxes and assigns them to their users in the archive. Depending on the employee’s position, old emails are automatically deleted from the mail server after a specified time and are then only available in MailStore Server. This way, the volume of data on Exchange Server remains consistently small. |
End user access | The Legacy Vacation Club opted for scheduled archiving when selecting the archiving method. All emails sent and received within the organization are archived entirely using the ‘journal’ mailbox. |
Access |
|
Evaluation of the technical documentation | “Flawless – just how you want it to be, but rarely how it is from other vendors.” |
Evaluation of the live use | “User feedback was very positive during the test phase and has remained so, too. Sometimes an employee cannot find an email, but it often transpires that an incorrect time period has been used in the search filter, for example.” |
Evaluation of the permanent maintenance effort | “Impressively little effort is required to operate MailStore Server and support for the users.” |
