Case Study: Federation of Small Businesses reduces email storage by 65% with Cryoserver

Federation of Small Businesses cuts mail store storage by 65% with Cryoserver

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) faced significant challenges managing its extensive email archive, which dated back to the late 1990s. Their growing email traffic was causing mail servers to become slow and unresponsive, while constant demands from users for increased mailbox quotas were consuming valuable IT resources. They needed a long-term solution to manage this growth effectively and turned to the email archiving vendor Cryoserver for a solution.

By implementing Cryoserver's stubbing module, FSB was able to reduce the size of its primary mail store by 65%, from 850GB down to approximately 250GB. This solution eliminated the need for restrictive mailbox quotas and made email management and migration significantly easier. The storage reduction also resulted in substantial cost savings, as the initial storage saving was multiplied across multiple database backups. Cryoserver provided FSB with a scalable tool to manage its email data economically and efficiently.
