Legacy Archive Retirement

    For many years, on-premises archiving was the standard for compliance, regulatory, and backup purposes.

    With the progression of cloud technology, organizations now often outsource these functions to more efficient, accessible, and scalable archives that are managed externally, freeing up internal IT resources.

    This shift to cloud based archiving represents a significant advancement in how organizations handle their data, providing a more flexible, cost-effective, and secure solution that aligns with the dynamic demands of today's digital landscape.

    There are many risks associated with legacy archives including disaster recovery, data security concerns, limited integration, and uncertainty about the future costs of licenses for leaver data. Organizations running on-premises systems are responsible for protecting their data in the event of a disaster. This adds to the cost and complexity of legacy environments while assuming another level of risk.

    Risk of Retirement

    Many organizations still have aging on-premises legacy archives that take up a lot of space, time, and money to keep running. Retiring them is a complicated and potentially risky process due to the types of data stored there.
     

    Finding a Migration Tool

    It can be difficult to find a modern migration tool that is capable of performing a migration efficiently. Continuing to run these legacy systems is associated with a litany of costs including the hardware, maintenance, IT, energy, and scalability.

    Legacy Systems Are Less Secure

     As Archive providers have shifted their focus to cloud-based systems, security updates have become less common for legacy systems. New features and security updates are mostly being added to cloud products making them more robust and protective in the event of a cyber-attack.
     
     

    Complex Environments

    As organizations add more tools into their ecosystem like collaborative software, CRMs, and messaging platforms, establishing effective data governance procedures to legacy archives is not possible with tools like Purview alone.

    Cloud Providers Charging Licenses to Leavers

    With systems like Enterprise Vault and OneDrive starting to require licenses for all users that can be searched against, even those who have left organizations, licensing costs have the potential to become a major factor in an organization’s decision on where to house their data.
     

    Complexity of Data Migration

    Legacy archives were a powerful tool in their time, but modern organizations require an economical solution that is able to keep up with the increasingly disparate demands of regulation.
