Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service gives users a significant amount of search and discovery features separate from the secure archive copy of the requested data. Barracuda also claims that this method ensures there is no conflict between data retention for operational compliance and legal search and discovery exercises. This allows for complete accuracy of data returned for every search.
Barracuda’s new service is ideal for organizations using on-premises Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, or hybrid combinations. Features include:
- Capture Everything – Ensures an accurate and unmodified copy of every email sent or received, including details of all recipients, will be captured and stored in the secure Barracuda Cloud.
- Keep Everything Securely As Long As Needed – Secures stored email data for as long as needed without risk of deletion.
- Respond to Information/eDiscovery Requests – Provides extensive search and discovery capabilities, managing selected data outside the operational environment on a separate secure archive copy of the data.
- 100 Percent Cloud – No hardware or software installation is required, and the cost-effective, per user pricing allows organizations to purchase only what they need.

Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service is currently in early access with a general availability slated for sometimes at the end of December, 2015. Pricing begins at $2.00 USD per user, per month and $20.00 USD per user for an annual subscription.
