Rob Buurman ( ASICS Europe BV )
IOnet archiving offers one solution for several issues : mail journaling, mail archiving and archiving of Notes databases. Although all of this can be done by Domino itself, IONet offers an easy to use tool for a very fair price. Combined with DAOS it really reduces the amount of data on my mail cluster ( Archive-server is a separate server ). No need to bother users to clean up their mailbox or database,users can be send a mail to migrate their local archive to the archive server and users are still able to see their archived mail (stub)in their mailbox. This works with iNotes as well. The only point of attention is the ACL of the databases and mail encryption. The support of IOnet/Lialis is good.

| | | Increased control over data growth in its Lotus environment
E. de Priester ( IV-Groep )
"To address its data storage issues, Iv-Groep BV implemented an e-mail archiving solution from IBM Business Partner IONET. The new IONET system archives e-mail from the existing Lotus environment based on the company’s demands. Once configured, the e-mail archive process runs automatically. The company can determine which e-mail messages are archived based on predetermined requirements, for example the age of messages.
Company employees can access archived e-mail messages as easily as before, and e-mail messages remain visible in employee mail file folders, because the archive database is connected to the mail file folders. Archived e-mail can be accessed via the Lotus Domino Message Server software, which hosts the IONET archive solution. The archive solution also offers Iv-Groep BV special search functionality that searches both archived and not archived e-mail messages, meaning that users are not impacted if a message is archived. The solution can be used for both personal and general e-mail databases.
As a result, Iv-Groep BV increased control over data growth in its Lotus environment, improving server performance and reducing backup times. The cost-effective, easy-to-manage solution allows the company to restrict when and how messages are archived, while also providing employees with easy access to archived messages. Furthermore, the solution was quick and easy to install."

| | | Used at RijkZwaan
John van Loon ( RijkZwaan )
We have used the IONET archive solution because our production servers were at capacity, and installing a dedicated archive server & using the IONET Archiver provided us with a lower total cost than expanding our production servers. Another important factor is the native Domino aspect - this gives us more flexibility in installation and configuration and is a process we are familiar with. Also, it helps that we only need to add design elements to production databases, not change or delete anything. Lastly, the flexibility of the tool allows us to choose our own path as to how we archive data.

| | | IONET Archiver for Notes
Harry Horning ( CB&I The Hague )
CB&I The Hague has evaluated the Symantec Enterprise Vault and EMC Mail Extender, with the Symantec system set up at CB&I for testing. Ultimately, the choice went for IONET Archiver for the following reasons;
* The price of the IONET Archiver is significantly lower.
* The IONET Archiver implementation is fully reversible, which is also the case for archived email databases.
* The implementation period for the IONET Archiver is much shorter and CB&I personnel can perform this task independently.
* The Symantec EV cannot archive mail files where there is no matching person document in the name and address book. We use mail-in databases for projects because you do not have to pay IBM licenses. Mail-in databases cannot be archived with Symantec EV.

Walter Pidwarko ( Hastings Deering (Australia) Limited )
"The IONET Archiver for Notes/Domino product, has allowed us to create a hierarchy for email data. i.e. Online, (mail server), near-online, (Archive Server), and off line, CD/DVD storage. It also allows us to archive documents in our application databases, without having to do any design changes to the database templates. We have found the support from IONET to be second to none, and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone."
