Enterprise Vault: Enterprise-Grade Archiving and Storage Optimization
What is Enterprise Vault?
Enterprise Vault is a purpose-built archiving and storage management platform. It automates the migration of aging and inactive data from primary production systems—such as email servers, file shares, and collaboration environments—into a secure, centralized repository.
By enforcing policy-based retention at the storage layer, Enterprise Vault helps IT teams dramatically reduce infrastructure spending, shrink daily backup windows, and safely manage massive data growth.

Share archived data with our standalone eDiscovery Platform or Discovery Accelerator to conduct corporate investigations.
For Compliance Officers
Connect your archive to Enterprise Vault Surveillance to monitor communications for regulatory compliance.
For Storage Analysts
