Growth of the messaging system More users Larger mail boxes More expensive operation Requirement Reduce the growth of the messaging system Offload old s from production messaging system Keep old s in near online access Legal requirements or industry regulations All s of a certain user group have to be captured and retained for a certain number of years Requirement s treated as business records Provide s on demand during audit or investigation
