Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving is a cloud-based archiving solution for organizations using Exchange Server 2010 or later. It provides users with a personal, in-place archive that expands mailbox storage while helping meet compliance, retention, and eDiscovery needs.
Key capabilities include tamper-evident archiving, retention policies, litigation hold, and content search across primary and archive mailboxes. Data is stored in Microsoft’s globally distributed datacenters with built-in security, geo-redundancy, and financially backed SLA. Integration with Outlook and Outlook on the web enables seamless access to archived emails without third-party tools.
Exchange Online Archiving supports hybrid configurations, enabling consistent governance across on-premises and cloud mailboxes. It helps reduce on-premises storage costs, simplifies administration, and supports regulatory requirements with reliable, scalable archiving from Microsoft.
