Architecture
ArcMail Defender is a self-contained email archiving appliance. All
necessary software and storage hardware are included within the
Defender, except for those models designed to archive email for Novell
GroupWise; an additional software gateway is provided with the archiving
appliance for GroupWise and easily installed by the customer.
After connecting Defender to the network, the mail server is configured to
send copies of all inbound, outbound and internal messages to the ArcMail
Defender appliance. This is called a journal process. When the Defender
receives these messages, it fully indexes and archives the email headers, bodies
and attachments in real-time so that they can be searched, viewed and retrieved
with the Defender’s search engine.
After the indexing information is stored in the database, the raw message bodies
are compressed and stored in the Defender file system to improve database performance
and system scalability. Each message is stored only once to maximize storage efficiency.
Users and administrators may search, view and retrieve email by logging in to
Defender’s secure web interface. The Defender uses SSL and encrypts all data between
the appliance and the user, so email does not travel unencrypted across the network.
Users can be given permission to search email sent to or from them, while administrators
can search the entire enterprise email archive. Defender can also be made accessible
through the firewall and accessed remotely using any web browser, including PDA devices.
