Web Hosting Dubai UAE
As your company gets bigger in size and diversity,
so will your data volume. To avoid exhausting your data storage space, hosting companies in Dubai
need to identify the type of data that needs long term
storage and the duration.
For instance, for emails notabilities could also
include differences in retention periods departments, projects, levels of
management. Retention policies also impact your storage space. As an
administrator, you need to have a clear idea on how individual mailboxes are
currently being used and correctly assess the amount of storage capacity
required to preserve email.
An effective data archiving strategy will allow you
to retain control over your growing data, optimize storage, and protect your
data for compliance.
Here are some important tips to consider while
designing your data archiving strategy.
Regularly Customize the Email Retention Period
and Avoid Preserving Forever.
A major challenge in organization archiving is when
the default policy is to retain everything. This policy will not just affect
the performance of the archive itself but also increase storage costs while
distorting your data insights. To make the best decision regarding your
retention period, specify the users first. For instance, when it comes to top
management executive or the legal department, you can favour a “retain forever”
option while restricting the retention period to a minimum for other employees.
Also, determine the optimal retention period for all regulated information regularly and consistently throughout the organization or specify separate retention period based on specific data or user types.
Choose Diverse Parameters and Customize your Archival
Policy.
While it is important to have policies in place
that clearly state the data that should be stored and the duration, it is
equally important to know that not all users are the same when it comes to
archiving.
By adopting a robust custom archival policy, you
can put in place certain archival conditions such as enabling a “retain
forever” option for key members of the organizations or choose relevant archive
conditions, such as emails older than a few months or email size beyond a certain
limit, and so on.
Also, designing custom archive policies for each
individual user group with customizable retention periods and archival
conditions like age, message size, and more.
Manage User Storage like an Expert
Each mailbox has a different growth rate. Some
would attain a storage capacity of terabytes while some would never exceed
their default storage limits. Therefore, availability of storage reports by the email hosting company would come in handy in knowing the users with max
storage needs and user behavior.
The benefits of such reports are that it helps to
identify add-on storage requirements or choose proactive management by dividing
the pool of shares storage space among other users of your cloud hosting service in UAE.
Also, having a completing picture of your
organizations’ data usage and need enables you to set the most efficient
policy, ensuring the optimum usage of your storage.
