Archive Manager Services server
|
• |
Active Directory Connector (ADC): The ADC synchronizes Archive Manager with users and security maintained in your existing Active Directory store. |
|
• |
Exchange Store Manager (ESM): The ESM synchronizes Archive Manager with the current state of the enterprise’s Exchange mail server. |
|
• |
Data Loader: The Data Loader populates Archive Manager with email messages from the enterprise mail server and/or other data sources. |
|
• |
Search Service: The Search Service consists of two separate services: Full Text Index Service (FTI) and Full Text Search Service (FTS). The Full Text Index Service indexes the full text of messages within the Archive Manager store, storing security context as well, for high-speed full-text searches. The Full Text Search Service performs full-text searches against the Archive Manager Full Text Index, providing results to the Archive Manager core search engine. |
|
• |
Message Retention Policy Service: The Retention Policy Service deletes email messages from the archive according to the retention rules and policies defined in the Retention Policy Editor. |
|
• |
Alert Service: The Alert Service runs SQL queries on the Archive Manager database, and WMI queries on your server and sends Alert emails. |
|
• |
Website: The Archive Manager website allows you to search your archive and administer various components of Archive Manager. The installer can place the Archive Manager website on a different server than the services server. |
Archive Manager SQL database server
The Archive Manager SQL database server performs the following functions:
Archive Manager hardware recommendations
This following sections show the estimated hardware recommendations for Archive Manager Services server and SQL database server. These are minimum recommendations and are subject to change based upon your messaging environment. For operating systems and other software requirements, see the System requirements in this Guide.
SQL database server
|
• |
Memory*: The total amount of required operating memory may be lower during initial archiving. As more data is archived and indexed, the memory footprint will increase. |
|
• |
AM Database Data**: Database read/write speeds are key to Archive Manager performance. The faster the data can be read from the database, the faster a request is returned to the user. |
