 Unified CommunicationsThis newsletter is sponsored by Microsoft Don't Waste IT Staff Network World's Unified Communications Newsletter, 05/08/07Integrated archiving for Sun JMS EnvironmentsBy Michael OstermanLast week, AXS-One announced AXS-Link for Sun Java Messaging Server, an archiving solution designed specifically for JMS environments. This policy-driven system is the only archiving system integrated into the Sun Java Communications Suite and is a native JMS application. As with AXS-One’s other archiving offerings, AXS-Link provides a full archiving feature set, including policy-based retention and disposition, compliance capabilities and support for legal discovery efforts. AXS-Link will be marketed by AXS-One, by Sun itself and by Sun’s network of resellers as part of Sun’s Compliance and Content Management Solution. There are a couple of takeaways from this announcement. First, archiving capabilities are being offered by an increasing number of vendors for a growing number of messaging platforms. This is important, since it improves the breadth of solutions from top-tier vendors that are available to corporate decision makers.
Second, for some prospective customers of archiving solutions, it points out the need to think seriously about cross-platform support for archiving. Messaging environments in many organizations are heterogeneous and can include Exchange, Notes/Domino, GroupWise, Sun and systems from other vendors. While organizations have been consolidating their messaging environments, the large number of acquisitions across a variety of industries means that many companies will actually be adding different messaging systems to their environments, not reducing them, at least in the near term. Because archiving is so important for legal discovery, regulatory compliance, storage management and knowledge management, the ability to support all of the messaging systems used in an organization – either with systems designed specifically for particular environments or with systems that support multiple platforms – will become more important in the future.
