Does anyone have any experience with migration of SourceOne Exchange archiving to EV?
We have a customer who want to replace SourceOne with EV.
My understanding is that they have 2 options:
Does anyone have experience with Transvault?
Any other options to migrate to EV?

Hello Marianne,
I have done a migration from EMC to EV a few years ago. this was a painfull operation, due to how EMC stores the archived data. It involved a lot of manual intervention and assistance from TransVault to get everyhting migrated eventuelly.
The answer to your question is not simple, but a good starting point is the datasize that needs to be migrated. If there are many, large archives on EMC, you might be better off using TransVault (or perhaps Quadrotechs Archive Shuttle). If it is not too large, it might be easier to export the EMC to PST's, and import those into EV.
Importing the PST's into EV is relatively simple, but there is obviously room for errors (PST imported into wrong archive for example). Also make sure the PST's are limited to 2GB, as that seems to be the best size for importing PST's.

marianne, it's important to understand if they have journal data in S1 because an export to PST will result in data loss. in that case it will be crucial to use a migration tool like TransVault which knows how to reconstruct the journal envelope data and feed it to EV via the API.

Thanks Gertjan!
We will try to get all relevant info from the customer and then approach a couple of migration companies for quotations.
