The EMC SourceOne family includes a suite of information governance and integrated content archiving applications. A core tenet of all EMC SourceOne applications is that all enterprises need to manage their information resources intelligently, and that means for the highest return on investment, at the lowest risk, and for maximum competitive advantage.

The EMC SourceOne Email Management offering is one of the groundbreaking new applications under the EMC SourceOne family. EMC SourceOne Email Management is a next-generation archiving solution with a distributed, scalable architecture to meet high-volume email environments while also enabling proactive electronic discovery, email retention, and cost-efficient tiered storage. EMC SourceOne Email Management's design leverages highly scalable, flexible, and modular software architecture.

EMC SourceOne Email Management can operate as a standalone email archiving product or can be integrated with EMC Documentum to offer customer investment protection. It provides all core email archiving capabilities for Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Notes/Domino, SMTP messages, and instant messaging.

This new generation of email archiving replaces EMCís EmailXtender, architected in a previous decade when business requirements and massive information growth were not as critical. Earlier generations of email archiving solutions have struggled to scale out or balance archiving tasks across a tiered server architecture. Virtualized environments did not exist when they were designed.

Globalization has made support for multiple character sets imperative. Added servers were needed to scale the solution for tens of thousands of mailboxes but created silos of archives without any form of cross-instance intelligence. EMC SourceOne Email Management addresses all these legacy challenges and more.
