Does your current GroupWise archive system use true single-instance storage (SiS)? You may be surprised to find out that M+Archive uses SiS only on attachments, not on the message body itself.

Does your current GroupWise archive system use true single-instance storage (SiS)? You may be surprised to find out that M+Archive uses SiS only on attachments, not on the message body itself.

A GroupWise customer with 500 users and 3.5 million messages in M+Archive decided to switch to GWAVA Retain for its superior archiving abilities. To migrate the email archive, GWAVA personnel broke the existing M+Archive message store into four directories (folders). They ran the Retain migration utility against all four folders to create four migration threads. The migration process took five days.

The results were surprising. The original M+Archive message store took 750GB. The newly migrated archive using Retain is only 100GB.

If you want to use true single-instance storage and save money on your archives, switch to Retain.
