Archiving during Resource Forest Exchange Migration

[KVS]

Dear EV specialist,

I need your advise. 

I am a long KVS administrator for many years but have not supported EV for last two years due to job change. The company that I work now is in the process of introducing email archiving and they have a CommVault already in place for back up purposes.

I have seen a short demo of Commvault and I know in terms of feature and functionality it's far from EV. Can anyone highlight the main features that EV provide but not Commvault.

We are in the process of migrating our resource forest Exchange 2007 to in-house Exchange 2013. My plan is to introduce archiving and reduce the Exchange data before migrating mailboxes. I know EV does support migration from one environment to another. if we introduce EV archiving in to our current Exchange 2007 and then migrate or point EV to the new Exchange environment. DOES EV support two Exchange environments so Exchange 2007 co-existence with Exchange 2013.

thank you,
