Transitioning from Postini to Vault: A to Z

About a year ago, Google announced that it was sunsetting Postini and transitioning to Vault.

Sunnyvale, CA, August 13, 2014 – About a year ago, Google announced that it was sunsetting Postini and transitioning to Vault. Now, it appears that this pronouncement may finally be happening. If you are Postini client, now is the time that you should prepare for the transition.

The good news is that you do not have to purchase Vault for this transition. If you are a Google Apps user, then all of your archived email data on Postini will be migrated to a new Vault account that will be added to your current Google Apps structure. If you are not a Google Apps user, then you will get both Google Apps and Vault.

How the Transition Works

Transition procedures for Postini Classic customers and Postini Hybrid customers differ.

If you’re a Postini Classic customer:

* You use only Postini; you’re not using Google Apps.

* You use an on-premise (non-Gmail) mail server.

The transition for Postini Classic customers includes updated mail routing when you begin the transition. For more details, please go to: support.google.com/a/answer/3508933

If you’re a Postini Hybrid customer:

* You’re a Google Apps customer who can route mail to on-premise mail servers.

* In addition to Google Apps, you also use Postini message security or message discovery (archiving).

* You log in to the Google Admin console and the Postini Admin Console with separate login credentials.

The transition for Postini Hybrid customers includes reviewing your Google Apps configuration and modifying it if needed, and routing your mail through Google after beginning the transition process. For more details, please go to: support.google.com/a/answer/2938980

Post Transition Issues
After the transition, your Postini archive data will be transitioned and there should be no duplicate data because the Postini to Google Vault transition tool recognizes duplicates. In the event that some messages are duplicated, however, you should be able to delete them from Vault by creating a custom retention rule which matches only that specific message.

If you decided not to do transitioning to Google Apps from Postini, then there is no transition tool available to migrate the data. If your Postini domain transitions to Google Apps then all of the Google Message Discovery(GMD) data will be transferred to the domain’s Google Vault automatically. The only other option beyond this is to export the Postini GMD data from your Postini Admin Console and then use Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exchange(GAMME) to transfer it to Google Vault.

What About Cost?
The good news, as mentioned above, is that no matter which Postini service you are using, you won’t have to make extra payment for the transition. That means your price will remain same as what you are currently paying for your Postini service; you can use Google Apps and Vault service while saving up to 87% of the cost. If you are currently using Postini GMD service, you will be transitioned to Google Apps Vault. If you are using Google Message Security(GMS) service for your email spam filtering, you will be transitioned to Google Apps for Business. In addition to that, price for Google Apps Vault will stay the same until 2016.

Netkiller is Your Gateway to Google Apps Vault

On March 28th, Google announced Google Apps Vault, “an archiving, records management and eDiscovery solution for Google Apps that will make enterprise-class information governance available to businesses of all sizes.

San Jose, CA, August 04, 2012 – On March 28th, Google announced Google Apps Vault, “an archiving, records management and eDiscovery solution for Google Apps that will make enterprise-class information governance available to businesses of all sizes.”1 As of August 1st, Netkiller America Inc. is proud to announce that we are authorized to resell Google Apps Vault along with Google Apps for Business as part of our cloud integration services.

“Vault is an optional service that adds archiving, e-discovery and information governance capabilities for an additional $5/user/month or $50/user/year.”2 The purpose of Google Apps Vault is to provide businesses with the ability to quickly and easily compile information to meet legal, regulatory and compliance requirements.

Google Apps Vault provides a single archive for email and chat messages, built on Gmail. The data is managed within the Gmail native data storage, so there is no need for duplication in separate archives, reducing the risks of spoliation inherent in data movement. Complete visibility across the domain is achieved with a comprehensive audit trail, allowing for intuitive and rapid management of relevant data.

The retention period of documents can be defined and automated within Google Apps Vault, in order to ensure compliance with retention policies. Google Apps Vault saves organizations from the risks of spoliation and noncompliance. The automation of archiving, retention and eDiscovery saves time and lowers costs while also reducing the risk of error inherent to document management and archiving. “The legal hold functionality helps ensure email and chat messages can be preserved beyond their standard retention period for a litigation or an investigation.”3
