Enterprise Vault (EV) Assessment
Stability, performance and governance for the archive platform you rely on every day.
Why you need an EV Assessment
Enterprise Vault likely sits quietly at the heart of your compliance and retention strategy.
It works, so it’s often left untouched. But over time, small issues accumulate. Indexes grow. SQL drifts. Versions fall out of support. Backups misalign. Performance degrades.
You don’t notice, until something fails. A missed archive run. A slow discovery request.
A compliance question you can’t confidently answer.
EV rarely breaks overnight. It deteriorates gradually. An assessment from Reciprocal helps you see the warning signs before they become business risks.
If any of the following sound familiar, it’s time to take a closer look:
-
- Your EV environment hasn’t been reviewed in years
- You’re running older OS or SQL versions
- Internal EV knowledge has moved on with people
- Compliance expectations are increasing
- You’re planning a migration or modernisation
- Vendor support requires proof of best practice
If EV remains part of your ecosystem, whether you plan to keep it, upgrade it or migrate away, you need to know it’s healthy.
What Happens If You Don’t
Most EV estates eventually experience:
-
- Failed or inconsistent archiving
- Slow discovery and legal exposure
- Corrupted or oversized indexes
- Extended outages
- Painful migrations
- Rising support costs
By the time the issue surfaces, you’re already reacting.
