Typical Financial Services organisations have email archives that have been in place for many years and have accumulated large volumes of complex archived data. This often makes them hesitant about wanting to migrate this data to a new platform.
Transvault and our service Partner’s vast project experience means we’ve moved significant amounts of data. In fact, we’ve migrated over 50 petabytes of email after extraction, that’s more than 400 billion emails. One of our largest projects has been to move over one petabyte of data from Enterprise Vault to Microsoft 365 for a multinational investment bank.
However, it’s not just about the quantity of data we’ve had experience of moving, delivering a high-quality migration with this complex data is also key. Our email archive migration software carries out a series of integrity checks to ensure your email records will be viable post-migration. Any items that fail to migrate are automatically re-processed a specified number of times and/or at a different time of day. In the event of a permanent failure, a full log of the item(s) in question is produced and handled to our security standards to enable investigation. ‘Permanent’ failures tend to be low – typically 0.001% of the overall email quantity. They are usually attributable to pre-existing problems in the source archive such as data corruption (i.e. not caused by the migration process). As such, it is likely that these items would not have been picked up by any audit or eDiscovery exercise. See our Standard Bank case study as an example of the accuracy of our software.
