Is EAS EOL?

[s8802571]

Hi all,

I've heard that EAS is EOL and that 2012 will be the last year of
support.

HP/Autonomy is pushing EAS's customers to migrate to ACA.

Is this true?

[Martin Schrödl]

As far as i can say that is true. Actually ACA is not really a
replacement for EAS because there are many functionalitys and features
that ACA not provide with the last release dec.

This was the reason why we deceide to develope a independend Archiving
Solution that contains all the Features and functionalitys and can
read the Documents of EAS so there is not a needing for a migration

EAS has been sold/implemented in some large accounts in the past year...  It is still actively supported... 

[Martin Schrödl]

Well, from my personal point ACA is a completly different Tool with a
other idea behind. it is a Tool that integrates an Archive into Idol -
so it is more Idol than EAS.

For the reasons of most of my customers that buy EAS in the Past, ACA
wont work but it depends on your what you require and what you want.

we - that means schroedl it what is my company - decide to create a
complete new Porduct called ngArchive. This Tool contains all my
expiriance with all my customers over the last years.

you can find some more information in a few days under: www.schroedl-it.de/ngArchive
(actually the website doesnt contain this information)

@Rick: as far as i was informed from some customers, they are not able
to buy licenses for EAS any longer. Also you have a EAS Migration Tool
in ACA - this indicates that EAS will not be supportet any longer -
not supported in fact doesnt mean you dont get support from Capax, but
it means, there will not be any upgrade / update any more... - but
that is only my impression / opinion...

Hi,

What I don't understand is how HP/Autonomy can say that all the
previous archiving products (bought by autonomy) like EAS, Mimosa
Nearpoint, CA Message Manager are EOL whereas it represents thousand
of customers.

Moreover you are saying that ACA is a completly different product
(more based on IDOL). I would say that HP/Autonomy is going to loose
many customers (it's already done) who are going to the competition
(Symantec, EMC)

[Martin Schrödl]

I agree with you - but to understand this, you must ask for the main
reason from an autonomy prospective to buy Zantaz. My Opinion on this
is, they are focused on a other Zantaz Product ans EAS was just a nice
givaway...

I working with EAS more than 8 years and i really love EAS - maybe
there was some difficults with Zantaz or Autonomy, but the Product by
themself was one of the best (i was testing most of the competitors
also). So this is the Reason why we like to create a Tool that still
have this functionality as EAS in the Past and support the EAS Data
without a Migration (i guess, migration of millions of archived Mails
would be painful)

Martin

[s8802571]

I agree,

Autonomy was interested by the hosting (Digital safe, Iron mountain).

EAS has still the best core engine but is a little bit outdated
concerning some components (client side, GUI)

[Thom]

Anyone have a link to a press release?  Plans can't be made w/o some sort of official announcement.

[Ellis, John P.]

Would it be worth contacting Autonomy for the answer? (assuming they will tell you)?

Already waiting for a reply..

[Martin Schrödl]

Guess you wont get one...

As far as i know Support for EAS is still ongoing, but no future
enhancments are done on the code and new customers get ACA.

[s8802571]

Very hard to tell a customer having terabytes of data to migrate to a
new solution...

Migration is not so easy and very time-consuming.

How can you tell the customer that you have to keep your archive
during decades whereas in the meantime the archiving products are
EOL...

[Appleyard, Sara]

You're right. That's exactly the reason TransVault was created: to give people choice and avoid getting 'locked in'.

I was just in an Autonomy executive briefing and they are going to continue to support EAS, just came out with a new release and have invested significant resources into the product – they are currently testing the next point release and are committed to the EAS client base.  The latest release 6.4 is one of the best yet.

 Please see below for clarification – these are official statements from Autonomy  – rather than the conjecture that has been posted on this forum:

 
(1) EAS is not end of life – it continues to be developed as normal and support for Exchange 2010 SP2 is underway.

(2) Full product support for EAS, NearPoint and Messaging manager will continue as normal for the foreseeable future.

(3) There will be further EAS releases as the product continues to evolve.

(4) You can buy EAS licenses as normal – this has never changed.

(5) ACA has a rapid development schedule so you will see it’s feature set fill out quickly.

(6) ACA is fast, fully unified and extremely stable and has a growing client base globally.

(7) The migration tool in ACA is there to present an easy option should clients opt to go from EAS to ACA.

(8) Autonomy continues to evolve, upgrade and service new and existing EAS clients from SME’s to large corporations – it is a current product.
