Re: Email Archiver

["Balsbaugh, Kevin R" <kebalsba () PACOLLEGE EDU>]

Hi Harry,

We also use a physical Barracuda email archiver for our on premise Exchange servers with positive results.  Similar to 
William James College we are also using the cloud based backup solution.  Even with the physical appliance the 
Barracuda device is very scalable as it allows us to upgrade to larger storage sizes if it becomes necessary in the 
future.

Thanks,

Hi Harry,

We are using Barracuda email archiver with good result.  We are using the physical appliance version but it does come 
in SaaS or virtual appliance format.  The setup is quite easy for us - we were running on premise exchange and have 
just switched over to office 365, and the email archiver works with both scenarios.  We purchase the mid-level version 
due to our smaller mailbox counts, and so far we don't have any major issues with this appliance.  The barracuda 
customer/tech support is very consistent and knowledgeable.  The price is a little bit on the step end due to our 
requirement for a cloud based backup on the emails we are archiving.

Hope this helps,

I apologize in advance if this is not the appropriate forum for this questions, I thought it was the best fit.

Our District is looking at implementing an e-mail archiver.  We have approximately 4600 mailboxes.  We will be 
increasing our mailbox size significantly (from 250 MB to X GB - not sure how many).  A preference would be for a 
virtualized appliance.

Any recommendations, suggestions, considerations would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for assistance.

Harry
