![]() The Archiver works best when paired with a long-term storage device, so that older, backed-up mail can be offloaded to cheaper, less robust storage for permanent safekeeping as needed.Īdding a Barracuda Message Archiver 350 is almost like hiring an IT staffer dedicated to your company’s email needs. Users can safely delete mail when their cabinet gets too full, knowing that it will never be lost. Mailboxes become filing cabinets in terms of nomenclature, and each user is assigned only so much space. Regardless of the model, storage on the Archiver is managed through user policies. This line scales for almost any size organization: The 1050 supports 18,000 users and has 66TB capacity, for instance. Once you get to the 650, which supports 2,000 users and has 8TB capacity, disks are additionally configured into RAID 6, giving more redundancy in the event of a drive failure. The entry-level 150 unit supports 150 users with 500 gigabytes of storage capacity. But Barracuda has an entire line of Archiver appliances. The unit I tested came preset with 2 terabytes of storage capacity and was recommended for up to 500 users. Any authorized user can access the appliance through its easy-to-use web interface, or get indexed access to email through iPhone or Android apps. There are even auditor roles that allow for searching the entire archive. Regular users can log in to find missing email or contacts, while administrators can set policies. Security on the 350 allows for user-defined roles. Barracuda Focuses on Security and Storage The Barracuda appliance also works with cloud-based email, such as Office 365 and Google Apps. Even after a user deleted an email on her desktop, it was still available through the Archiver 350. Once configured, it began to archive all Simple Mail Transfer Protocol messages, calendar appointments, assigned tasks and contacts for all users on the network. I set up my test unit in less than an hour. ![]() ![]() The Message Archiver 350 from Barracuda Networks helps to eliminate those issues in a way that is mostly invisible to users - and easy to deploy and manage for administrators. Any of those events could destroy a critical communication from an important client. And devices, especially mobile ones out in the field, might get damaged, lost or stolen. Mail can easily get lost or accidentally deleted. Businesses often struggle to support email for their users, especially small and medium-sized businesses that may not have huge pools of dedicated IT staff members.
