Do I need to create separate tenants for file archiving and email archiving

Introduction​

This page addresses a common configuration question: whether separate tenants are required when setting up contentACCESS for both file archiving and email archiving.

Do you need separate tenants for file and email archiving?​

It is not necessary to create separate tenants for file archiving and email archiving. Instead, you can create separate databases within the same tenant — one database for file archiving and another for email archiving.

The recommended number of databases depends on:

  • the archivable mailbox count, in the case of email archiving;
  • the archivable root count, in the case of file archiving.
