Archive Manager 5.9.3 - SDK Guide

Multi-site model

The multi-site model can be used in organizations where WAN links are high speed and low utilization and the remote connected sites have 100 or fewer users.

To lower the bandwidth requirements even further from the default installation, Archive Manager can be configured to ‘Dataload’ email messages from the remote sites at preset times of the day.

If the remote sites already have email servers, the servers should be set up to journal locally in order to minimize bandwidth usage of the journaling process. In these cases, the Archive Manager Dataloader can be configured to retrieve the journaled messages from those sites overnight, thereby spreading network traffic over 24 hours instead of eight working hours.

Archive Manager provides the option of installing the Organizational form for ‘Stubbed’ messages. By not installing the form for Microsoft Outlook, the bandwidth requirements of Archive Manager are reduced further as email is not retrieved from the Archive Manager database when browsed via Microsoft Outlook; the email is retrieved only when a link in the message is selected.

Distributed model

The Archive Manager distributed model is best used when an organization has connected sites with more than 100 users at each, or low bandwidth connections with potentially fewer users.

To estimate the requirements of different site configurations, see the Hardware recommendations chapter of this guide.

Mixed model

Archive Manager can also be run as a combination of the preceding models. This is useful, for example, when the distributed model is not applicable, as with a satellite site of 50 users with no email server, which does not require a dedicated Archive Manager server.

Archive Manager can be considered a "thin client" solution because it uses a web browser for access.

By choosing not to use the installable Microsoft Exchange ’organizational form,’ the bandwidth requirements for Archive Manager’s "clientless" stubbing of message content can also be reduced considerably over the default installation, making Archive Manager highly effective in low-bandwidth environments.

Exchange journaling

Microsoft Exchange includes optional journaling features that can help an organization meet compliance standards, but that are not installed by default. The Pre-installation preparations chapter in this Guide suggests that you enable Exchange Journaling, and you can refer to Microsoft’s documentation for installation and configuration information.

Archive Manager lets you configure MAPI data loaders to offload messages from Exchange Journal mailboxes into Archive Manager. The installation procedures in this Guide include steps to configure MAPI data loaders for use with Exchange Journal folders, or you can later refer to the Data Loaders chapter of the Archive Manager Administration Guide for the procedure.
