Retain is a robust archiving and eDiscovery solution. Archiving has traditionally been focused on corporate email systems, but Retain not only archives more email systems than your typical solution (GroupWise, Exchange, Google Apps) - it also can archive Android SMS, Blackberry, Facebook, and Twitter.
For a comprehensive list of supported operating systems, database systems, email systems, etc, see Retain System Requirements.
Installation Pre-Reqs
Before you install Retain, there are some other pieces required depending upon the operating system.
Linux
- Install Apache2.2
- Install your DBMS.
- If using MySQL, Retain will install and configure a "retain" database for you; however, you must first download the MySQL 5.5 server and client RPMs. They must be accessible to the Retain installation program, so it is best if the RPMs are on a drive local to the installer.
- If using MS SQL or Oracle, your database adminstrator will need to create the "retain" database in advance. See the appendix of the Linux Install Guide for instructions.
Windows Server
- Install Apache2.2 or IIS
- Download Java from the GWAVA download website and install it.
- Install your DBMS and configure a "retain" database. See the appendix of the Windows Install Guide for instructions.
