Comparing on-premise and cloud archiving on Performance, Scalability and Availability

On Premise Archiving Vaultastic Cloud Archiving
Availability Poor Business Continuity Most on-premise email archiving solutions lack a strong availability posture, which includes adequate redundancies, maintenance processes, and a disaster recovery site. They can result in frequent outages and disruptions. Guaranteed Business Continuity As a perpetual archive in separate operational cloud infrastructure, Vaultastic is highly available by design. Vaultastic delivers superior data durability (11 9’s), storing immutable copies of your email data in multiple geographically apart availability zones (data centers) of AWS.
Scalability Limited by infrastructure and design On-premise & hosted systems typically lacks the sophistication required to enable scalability for supporting organizational growth and shrinkage without excessive effort and long procurement cycles. Limitless Scalability Vaultastic, a cloud-native email data management platform, leverages the cloud's elasticity and on-demand provisioning capability to create a scalable platform for email archiving.
Performance Degradation on increasing workloads Poorly engineered email archival solutions can create performance bottlenecks resulting in delayed mail extraction and inconsistent access speeds. Consistent Performance irrespective of workload Vaultastic, the cloud email archiving platform, leverages the elasticity and on-demand capabilities of the cloud to scale up or down aligned to the workload.

Comparing the Agility and Risk aspects of on-premise and cloud email archiving

On Premise Archiving Vaultastic Cloud Archiving
Agility Rigid Architecture Rigid, hard-wired configurations based on fundamental building blocks create an architecture, which is not so elastic or malleable. Flexible Architecture Atomized components, APIs, and web services allow easy adoption and extension of the system to meet specific business needs.
Risk Data lock-in The lack of a well-defined data exit strategy and poor migration tools in most solutions pose a grave risk of being locked in with the vendor. Customer-friendly data-exit policy Open data standards, portable formats, and automated, easy data extraction and transportation tools allow easy data movement, even in bulk.

Comparing the ease of Managing on-premise and cloud email archiving

On Premise Archiving Vaultastic Cloud Archiving
Provisioning Maintenance and Management Huge CAPEX (capital expenditure) for Infrastructure (Server, storage, networking, etc.) with upfront provisioning even for future workloads. It can get wasted if there is a downsize. Zero Hardware. Vaultastic SaaS works on the Opex, pure consumption (pay per use) model to ensure that your bill aligns accurately with your usage.
Additional CAPEX for a disaster recovery site to ensure business continuity & data durability. Vaultastic leverages the class-leading AWS cloud infrastructure with a built-in disaster recovery site.
Requires high management & maintenance to deliver on SLA. Fully Managed Cloud SaaS backed an SLA and 24/7 Support.

Comparing the Availability of on-premise and cloud email archiving

Availability Requires adequate on-site redundancies and a reliable disaster recovery site to deliver on the service quality and uptime. Leverages the built-in redundancies, reliability, and multiple availability zones of the cloud to provide guaranteed performance.
Requires redundancy in storage, solid and frequent backups, and sync to a disaster recovery site to achieve high Data Durability with an improved RPO. Vaultastic delivers superior data durability (11 9’s), storing immutable copies of your email data in multiple geographically apart availability zones (data centers) of AWS.

Comparing the Security & Compliance postures of on-premise and cloud email archiving

On Premise Archiving Vaultastic Cloud Archiving
Security Requires careful planning and execution to secure the data and applications at multiple layers of the stack. Builds on the shared security model of AWS to engineer bullet-proof security “IN” the cloud for your data and applications. These include but are not limited to IAM, authorization, VPCs, WAFs, Firewalls, TLS controls, and more. Security controls compliant with industry cybersecurity guidelines viz. RBI, SEBI, IRDAI.
With strong access control policies, the system must encrypt data at rest and in transit. All data in Vaultastic is encrypted at rest, and in transit, with robust role-based security controls for access.
Regular VAPT and other analyses are needed to maintain vigilance. Security operations team to monitor security and feedback to improve attentiveness and resilience.
