Email Migration

Reduce email migration time and resources by offloading email attachments

IT organizations planning an email migration select Accellion file transfer to reduce email migration time and resources, and enable increased email performance and reduced ongoing email storage requirements for their new email system. Files can easily take up more than 80% of email storage and hence need to be handled proactively during email migration to reduce migration time and resources and to aid in ensuring business continuity and zero email downtime. In addition organizations moving from the Domino email environment to Exchange require a solution for handling large file attachments since Exchange best practices imposes a 10MB file attachment limit, unlike Domino which has no hard limit on email attachment size. Implementing Accellion file transfer offers the following benefits to organizations planning an email migration:

  • Reduce time and resources for email migration: Large file attachments can be offloaded to Accellion prior to migration considerably reducing the size of file system to migrate from Notes to Exchange.
  • Reduce strain on email servers: As files get offloaded to Accellion the performance of the email servers improves both before and after migration.
  • Increase business productivity: As users mailboxes get moved from Notes to Exchange there is a seamless transition on how to send large files and there is no need to re-train employees on the file transfer system.
  • Improve security and compliance: Accellion file transfer solution transfers files through a secure link that can only be viewed and downloaded by the intended recipient. This ensures that valuable data is secured.

Accellion—Speedier Email Migration

Organizations using Accellion are able to offload large file attachments in the Domino environment, enabling them to migrate much more quickly into the Microsoft Exchange email environment as they have less data to migrate. Accellion secure file transfer allows internal and external users to send and receive files and folders using a familiar email interface without clogging email servers and slowing down the messaging infrastructure. Using Accellion, users still send an email, but instead of the file being attached and sent through the email system, the file is uploaded to an Accellion appliance. Accellion file transfer offers significant benefits to organizations as part of an email migration project.
