Benefits & Business Drivers

Cloud Platform Accessibility & Flexibility: CSA 2.0 runs on today’s major cloud storage infrastructures enabling out-of-the-box integration with trusted vendors, allowing you to control where your data resides. CSA 2.0’s platform versatility means that you have the option of using private or internal clouds, and the ability to move archived data from one cloud to another seamlessly.

Data Integrity and Authentication: CSA 2.0 offers integrity assurance of stored data by applying a unique key identifier to each file, email record and access session, allowing you to authenticate your data within any public or private storage cloud. Audit logs track downloads from the archived storage environment and provide a unique CSA 2.0 receipt. Mismatched keys easily identify altered historical files within the cloud.

Peace of Mind With Automated Archiving with Version Control: You can choose to have your email and file server data archived automatically. Once the server and directories are identified, no other ongoing management is required. Version control is included and captured automatically allowing you to retrieve previous copies of files and emails.

Specialized Search Functions: Productivity increases when information is easier to find. With CSA 2.0’s user-level controls, high-speed nested searches and dynamic tag clouds, your users can have a customized search engine interface specific to theirdata retrieval needs. This robust and leading-edge technology, incorporated into an extremely fast and dynamic search engine, means businesses spend substantially less time searching for data.

Integration and Expandability: CSA 2.0 provides a REST-based open API architecture that offers customers, partners and developers the ability to write custom query integrations directly into document management applications such as eDiscovery and compliance auditing tools.
