Migrating from Mimecast

Migrating from Mimecast

With increasing data storage costs, enterprises are weighing up their options when it comes to retrieving their data from Cloud platforms and unlocking the benefits of other providers. Mimecast is no exception. 

Exporting data from Mimecast can come with high exit fees, especially if you need to extract terabytes or even petabytes of email archives. There is also complexity around extraction file formats provided by Mimecast. Transvault is pleased to offer significantly reduced Mimecast extraction costs and makes the process refreshingly simple.

 

Exporting emails from Mimecast

Transvault uses a direct connector for Mimecast extractions, exporting your mailboxes and email data ready for migration.

We can extract data in the following formats:

  • EML files
  • Exchange Journal format (EJF) –  includes all original recipients, as well as BCC’d recipients and any members of distribution lists. This is key for eDiscovery. 

We report on any message corruptions to ensure that all possible data is migrated. Once the extraction is complete, Transvault will reorganise the export to meet your requirements in your chosen Cloud archive platform. Messages can be organised by user if desired. The extraction process is fully automated and secure, with minimal impact on end users. With a distributed architecture, throughput is maximized.

 

Migrate from Mimecast to Microsoft Office 365

For many years, Mimecast has been a key component within many organisations’ technology stack. This is largely due to its popular email service and high-level security and threat protection. However, with increasing storage costs and Microsoft 365’s growing security infrastructure and services capability, we’ve seen Microsoft’s Cloud becoming a desirable option for organisations across the globe.

Moving from Mimecast to Microsoft 365 presents some challenges, especially when it comes to data extraction and formatting. There’s no need to worry as Transvault’s expertise and experience will help you overcome these challenges.

Together with our specialist Partners and Services team, we can extract and convert your Mimecast data. This allows us to seamlessly migrate email records and mailboxes into Microsoft 365.

Mimecast and Journaling

As well as mailboxes, Transvault specialises in migrating compliance journal repositories from Mimecast into the new Microsoft 365 compliance model. Organizations using Mimecast for journaling need a seamless and compliant transition when moving to Microsoft 365, ensuring that historical journal data remains accessible, secure, and properly attributed to individual users.

Our Migrator solution simplifies this complex process by intelligently extracting the contents of a journal mailbox and reconstructing it into individual users’ mailboxes while maintaining full compliance with regulatory and legal requirements. This ensures that businesses can decommission their Mimecast environment without losing critical email records.

With decades of expertise in enterprise-scale email migrations, Transvault guarantees a fully audited, defensible, and efficient migration experience.

Migrating to Mimecast

Transvault also supports migration into Mimecast’s email archiving solution from several archiving platforms.

For migrations into Mimecast, there is no API to cater for a direct connection method.

Therefore the recommended workflow is to migrate to PST files using Transvault Migrator and then provide the PST files to Mimecast using their ‘Legacy Archive Data Management’ service.

PST data can be provided either grouped Per User (PU) or Not Per User (NPU).
