Teams archive
✓ Compliant chat archiving
Introducing the compliant private chat archiving feature, designed to ensure comprehensive data retention and compliance. While we previously supported the archiving of Teams chats using free Microsoft APIs, we have now enhanced this capability with a new compliant archive job. This new method allows contentACCESS to access all chats, including deleted messages and those involving users from other Microsoft 365 tenants, providing a more thorough archiving solution. However, it is important to note that this enhanced functionality comes with a drawback—it utilizes paid Microsoft APIs. The choice is yours: you can continue using the older, more feature-rich method or opt for the new compliant archive job for enhanced compliance and data retention capabilities.
✓ Compliant Team archiving
Introducing our compliant Teams archiving feature, engineered to ensure comprehensive data retention and compliance. Previously, we supported Teams archiving using free Microsoft APIs, providing a rich feature set for filtering data. However, these APIs had limitations, as deleted messages were not retrievable. With our new compliant archive jobs, contentACCESS can now access all Teams communication, including deleted messages. This enhanced functionality addresses previous limitations and ensures a more thorough archiving solution. It is important to note that this advanced capability comes with a trade-off—it utilizes paid Microsoft APIs. The decision is yours: continue using the older method for its feature richness or opt for the new compliant archive jobs to enhance compliance and data retention capabilities for your Teams data.
✓ New provisioning filter options
Elevate your team’s categorization precision with our latest provisioning filter options. You can now filter based on sensitivity, owners, creation date, and much more. This feature allows you to archive exactly what you need, ensuring optimal organization and efficiency.
Using sensitivity labels, you can easily categorize your teams for archiving directly within the Microsoft ecosystem. This intuitive approach makes managing and organizing teams for archiving simpler than ever.
Experience the advantages of precise categorization and targeted archiving with our new provisioning filter options.
Common
✓ Storage redundancy and failover enhancements
We are thrilled to announce significant enhancements to the storage redundancy and failover layer within contentACCESS. This crucial aspect of the system is now more transparent and simpler to configure, ensuring a seamless user experience. The system now supports multiple secondary or replica storages alongside a primary storage, offering increased redundancy and improved failover capabilities. Administrators also have the flexibility to use cloud storage as replica storage, expanding their options for data management. In addition, the ability to set priorities for replica storages provides greater customization and control. In the event of primary storage damage, administrators can seamlessly promote a replica storage to primary, ensuring uninterrupted access to and modification of critical data. These enhancements make the contentACCESS storage system even more robust and powerful.
✓ Elasticsearch updated to 8.11.1
We have upgraded the Elasticsearch version in contentACCESS to 8.11.1. This release is fully compatible with the previously used 8.4 version, ensuring seamless integration and continuity for users. In addition to compatibility, the update delivers performance and stability improvements, further optimizing the functionality of contentACCESS.
✓ Deletion and retention change support for xFlow storage
This version introduces support for deletion and retention changes within xFlow storage. This enhancement provides greater control over the data lifecycle, enabling more flexible management of stored content. Whether adjusting retention policies or selectively removing outdated data, these features support improved data governance and compliance within the xFlow storage environment.
✓ Amazon S3 storage improvements
We have undertaken a major rewrite of the Amazon S3 integration to deliver significant performance improvements. With these updates, data storage is faster and more efficient, providing a smoother and more powerful data management experience.
✓ Performance and stability fixes
Additional improvements have been made to enhance overall system speed and stability, further improving the contentACCESS user experience.
