Emails are the backbone of business communication, but as organizations grow, so does their email volume. Microsoft 365 and Outlook are the most widely used for their large email storage capacities, yet businesses often struggle with email overload.
Most Microsoft 365 plans provide 50GB of mailbox storage with an additional 1.5TB of online archive storage. While this seems sufficient, users tend to store years’ worth of emails without deleting anything, leading to:
- Sluggish Outlook performance
- Delayed and inaccurate search results
- Difficulties retrieving older emails
- Risk of permanent data loss
To maintain efficiency, businesses need an advanced email archiving solution that not only optimizes storage but also ensures fast retrieval, compliance, and data security—and that’s where Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service comes in. It provides unlimited email storage while ensuring seamless access to both old and new emails.
- Instant Access to Archived Emails: With Barracuda’s Outlook search plugin, users can quickly retrieve archived emails, ensuring smooth workflows and zero disruption to daily operations.
- Optimized Storage with Retention Policies: Since archived emails are tamper-proof and cannot be deleted, critical business records remain safe, compliant, and easily accessible.
- Secure and Tamper-Proof Cloud Storage: Barracuda stores all emails in a secure, immutable cloud archive, ensuring that no data is lost, altered, or deleted.
Why Businesses Need Cloud-Based Archiving
