    Dell EMC SourceOne Migration

    As legacy systems like Dell’s EMC SourceOne become outdated technologies, they are being retired, also known as End of Support (EOS).

    For SourceOne, EOS will occur in December 2024.

    For these once cutting-edge products, this can mean many different things, and none of them are good.

    End of Support is Coming!

    When Software Reaches End of Support…

    How might an EOS situation impact your organization's end users? Will your data be protected and remain compliant? What risk and burden might befall your legal and compliance teams?

    Here’s what you can expect:

    ❌ The product will now be vulnerable to cyberattacks, security risks and bugs which will no longer be addressed, patched, or mitigated in any way by the vendor. Data breaches could occur.

    ❌ No new features or functionality will actively be developed rendering the software less useful as time goes on.

    ❌ Eventually, as other products that your organization uses continue to evolve, they may eventually not be compatible with EMC SourceOne.

    ❌ Some enterprise-sized organizations may negotiate extended support contracts, often at great expense, but general support and assistance will no longer be available.

    ❌ As the data volume you store in the unsupported archiving solution grows this will gradually lead to slower performance.

    Gambling on the Limitations of EMC SourceOne

    Maybe you’ve already moved your active data to the cloud leaving your legacy data to age off on this soon-to-be unsupported platform. While EMC SourceOne was designed to address the email archiving needs of an earlier era, it now presents several challenges:

    Performance Bottlenecks
    SourceOne struggles to keep up and scale effectively as data volume grows, leading to performance bottlenecks.
    Wasted IT Resources
    Valuable IT resources will be diverted from strategic initiatives for ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting required.
    Limited Integration
    Integration with modern tools and platforms is limited, creating silos and inefficiencies.
    Extended Downtime
    Without active support and updates, downtime while attempting to resolve issues may be significantly extended.

    Next Generation Solutions

    Organizations can no longer afford to be anchored by outdated technologies which hinder progress due to their limitations in scalability, integration, and performance. Let’s take a look at a few of the benefits of migrating your SourceOne archives to the cloud:

    Cost
    Savings

    Migrating to the cloud will mean this infrastructure (servers, storage, networking and staff) can be retired and the employees redeployed to more important business tasks.

    Your Data, Any Time, Anywhere

    Your end users can access organization data at any time from any location globally, ensuring productivity and efficiency are never compromised. 

    Reduced Cost of Data Administration

    Centralizing this data into the cloud will reduce the cost of supporting multiple EMC SourceOne systems in different data centers around the globe as there will be a single point of administration.

    Improved
    eDiscovery

    Applications like Microsoft Purview, or Cloudficient Expireon, can be leveraged to help with eDiscovery requests. Much simpler and faster than having to find data across multiple on-premise systems.
