EMC SourceOne is fast approaching end of life (EOL). With Dell withdrawing its support for the archive in December 2024, organisations need to act now to protect their essential data.
If you’re currently using SourceOne for archiving, you need to choose a replacement and plan your data migration out of EMC SourceOne into your new supported platform.
Many businesses will take SourceOne end-of-life as an opportunity to move to a cloud-based platform and migrate their email archive to Microsoft 365.
Dell EMC SourceOne reaches its End of Support Service (EOSS) on 31st December 2024. This is confirmed on Dell’s website via a downloadable list of Software End of Service Life notifications. After this date, Dell will “no longer provide support including software maintenance, bug fixes and critical security patches.”
Unsupported email archives can slow you down and expose your business to risk. When Dell stops providing SourceOne security patches, your archiving data will become vulnerable to security threats such as hacking and malware. Your business may even experience data loss when SourceOne is no longer actively maintained. This can cause major compliance issues, exposing your organisation to legal action and significant financial penalties.
Transvault is here to help you quickly and securely move to your desired archive. We’ll help you move your data before SourceOne becomes unsupported and unpatched, ensuring your business is protected. With a focus on high quality outcomes, we’ll minimise any disruption to users and cut costs by only moving what is necessary.
