In this paper we propose a novel approach to specialize a general
purpose Enterprise Content Management (ECM) System into an Email
Archiving and Discovery (EAD) System. The magnitude and range of
compliance risks associated with the management of EAD is driving
investment in the development of more effective and efficient
approaches to support regulatory compliance, legal discovery and
content life-cycle needs. Companies must recognize and address
requirements like legal compliance, electronic discovery, and
document retention management. What is needed today are EAD systems
capable to process very high message ingest rates, support
distributed full text indexing, and allow forensic search such to
support litigation cases. All this must be provided at lowest cost
with respect to archive management and administration. In our
approach we introduce a virtualized ECM repository interface where
the key content repository components are wrapped into a set of
tightly coupled Grid service entities, such to achieve scale-out on
a cluster of commodity blade hardware that is automatically
configured and dynamically provisioned. By doing so we believe, we
can leverage the strength of Relational Database Management Systems
and Full Text Indexes in a managed clustered environment with
minimal operational overhead.
