Announcement – Preemptive Email Vault now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Preemptive Consulting is pleased to announce that the Preemptive Email Vault now fully supports the use of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 as a back-end RDBMS platform.

All versions of the Preemptive Email Vault from v2.9.0 are supported, and all future versions of our software will continue to support the use of Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

About the Preemptive Email Vault

The Preemptive Email Vault is a centralised system that stores a copy of all messages entering, leaving and circulating within your organisation.

Messages are automatically captured – there are no special steps required for your email users. By analysing, deconstructing and efficiently packing your email in the Vault, you will save up to 80% of email storage requirements. In addition, messages are stored in a format-neutral way with SQL and XML, meaning that you are not locked into any proprietary architecture for your email storage. The Preemptive Email Vault’s administration client gives complete visibility over activity in your email system. For the first time you will be able to find out who sends what and when, allowing you to effectively manage this crucial business resource. The administration client will even allow you to recover individual messages – all with 100% fidelity!

With the Personal Vault Browser, staff can retrieve their email from the Vault. At the press of a button, they can instantly restore a message back into their mail file. This is 'self service' at its best!

Key Features:


• Message Metadata and attachments are stored in an RDBMS
This provides a highly scalable and high performance storage backend. Native SQL queries are possible, making easy to determine what is going on within your email environment. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and IBM DB2 v8.2 and v9 are supported.

• The Personal Vault Browser
As previously mentioned, this J2EE based browser solution allows staff to access their email from the Vault. This solution has been seamlessly incorporated in the Preemptive Mail Extended Edition product. See our movie for a working example.

• Single instance attachment storage
The Vault only contains one copy of each attachment. This dramatically reduces storage requirements, and allows for attachment tracking.

• Compressed XML copy of the message
This allows a message to be recreated at some future date with full fidelity. It is also possible to restore a single message back into a database. Restore times are within seconds, not hours or days - imagine how long it takes to restore a single message from a 1 GB mail file using traditional methods.

• Target education
With the Preemptive Vault Browser, you can quickly identify who your top consumers and producers of email are. This allows you to target your education, and ensure you get the best value for your money.
