Migration path
Enterprise Vault to Mimecast Cloud Archive migration
Enterprise Vault → Mimecast
Moving email archive data from Enterprise Vault to Mimecast Cloud Archive? We’ll design the route, deploy the architecture and run the migration as a fully managed service. Your team installs nothing.
- Fully managed delivery
- No customer-side install
- Architecture deployed for the job
- Agreed chain-of-custody reporting
What a Enterprise Vault to Mimecast migration involves
Source considerations — Enterprise Vault
Enterprise Vault estates vary by generation, deployment and data shape. We assess the actual environment before setting the extraction method, batching and timescale.
Destination considerations — Mimecast
Moving into Mimecast means preparing the data for the agreed ingestion route and destination requirements. We track the migration against the approved scope and report the outcome.
How we run the migration
Confirm the scope
We agree the data in scope, source access, destination requirements, volume, timing and evidence needed at handover.
Design and deploy the route
We select the supported migration method and deploy the eMXport architecture needed for the job.
Run and manage the work
We operate the migration jobs, monitor progress and investigate exceptions. Your team gets clear updates without running the platform.
Reconcile and report
We close the engagement against the agreed scope and provide the chain-of-custody and outcome reporting defined during discovery.
What we need to price the migration
Start with what you know. We can refine the rest during discovery.
- Source and destination platforms
- Approximate data volume in terabytes
- Number of users, custodians or archives, where known
- Required timescale and any fixed cut-off date
- Retention, hold, legal or compliance constraints
- Reporting and sign-off requirements
Questions we hear a lot
- Do we need to install eMXport?
- No. We deploy and operate the eMXport architecture for the engagement. Your team provides the agreed access and decisions, not another platform to maintain.
- Can you preserve every folder, label, field and retention setting?
- That depends on what the source can export and the destination can accept. We map the supported data and metadata during discovery, then document the agreed scope.
- How long will the migration take?
- Volume is only one factor. Source performance, destination limits, data shape, access, exceptions and migration windows all matter. We estimate timing after discovery.
- How do you map data between the two archive platforms?
- We compare what the source can provide with what the destination can accept. The agreed mapping, exclusions and treatment of exceptions are documented before delivery.
- Do retention policies and holds move with the messages?
- Not automatically. Governance settings are platform-specific. We confirm whether the engagement covers message data only or includes separately agreed configuration work.
