5 Key Benefits of Email Archiving with DataCove

Email archiving has many useful benefits and is one of the easiest features that an organization can implement.

What is Email Archiving?

Email archiving solutions store a read-only searchable backup of the data either onsite or offsite using a combination of hardware or secure cloud storage methods. An automated system extracts each message along with any attachments from designated accounts. The information is then indexed and stored for access later. Anyone with access can then use search filters to track down received or sent messages.

Once the emails you’re looking for have been found, archiving solutions like DataCove make it easy and quick to restore them.

Benefits of Email Archiving

Email archiving is an important and helpful business tool for e-discovery and compliance. Storing these emails securely means they can’t be edited or deleted.

We’ve outlined the following key benefits to help you decide if email archiving with DataCove is something you should invest in.

  1. Data Preservation & Recovery – Natural disasters are inevitable and often times unavoidable. In these situations, data on drives can be destroyed by storms, making data recovery even more essential. Email archiving supports this need as well as any other data preservation objectives.
  2. Legal Discovery & Compliance – Email archiving makes it easy to retrieve one or more messages in an unaltered format. Having this capability is beneficial in litigation cases where message information must be retrieved as part of the discovery process. It also helps your company remain compliant with federal regulations.
  3. Productivity Improvement – By clearing unnecessary messages from the inbox and searching for emails that might have been accidentally deleted, email archiving can increase employee productivity.
  4. Centralized Storage & Administration – Email archiving solutions provide a centralized solution that is easy to manage. Employees do not have to spend countless hours maintaining message data, which allows for easier data management and improved productivity.
  5. Cost Management Benefits – Archiving delivers cost-savings opportunities by reducing the amount of required resources for backing up this data and reducing the number of hours needed to maintain them.

What is meant by Industrial PC?

Industrial PC a computer for industrial application. Industrial purposes such as production of services or goods. Industrial PCs have greater reliability and industry standards and typically cost more than consumer grade computers. 

An industrial PC is a computer intended for industrial purposes (production of goods and services), with a form factor between a nettop and a server rack. Industrial PCs have higher dependability and precision standards, and are generally more expensive than consumer electronics. They often use complex instruction sets, such as x86, where reduced instruction sets such as ARM would otherwise be used.

Industrial PC Features and Architecture

Industrial PCs are characteristically designed with components selected to withstand harsh and trying conditions. Encased within rugged housing, the internal components are housed within controlled environments.

Common Features:

  • Solid state, fanless cooling
  • Metal construction and enclosures
  • Mountable enclosures (such as VESA wall mount, panel mount)
  • Expansion card retention
  • Watchdog times for automatic system reset
  • Extreme operating temperature ranges, including freezing and scorching temperatures
  • Robust power supply
  • IP Ratings, such as dust proof, water resistant, immersion proof
  • Sealed connectors, MIL-SPEC or Circular-MIL 
  • Heavy-duty controls and screens
  • Controlled access to the controls through the use of locking doors
  • Controlled access to the I/O through the use of access covers

Industrial PC Manufacturing

Industrial PCs are manufactured in smaller quantities.

Industrial PC Applications

Industrial PCs are used in virtually all industrial applications including outdoor kiosks, indoor farming, correctional facilities, self-driving vehicles, schools, fast-food restaurants, fitness centers, and airports.

medical computer lifetime

How long do Medical Computers Last?

Medical computers have unique features and specifications compared to consumer grade computers. The lifetime of healthcare-specific medical computers depends on the quality of the manufacturer. Durable components and sound engineering help determine the longevity of units. Like all electronic devices, there are brands and companies that healthcare administrators have come to rely on for performance and quality. 

Medical Computer Lifespan

Medical computer lifespans are important considerations for healthcare facilities. New medical computers have a learning curve. Familiarity with the unit, such as new features, port locations or display arrangements require time for integration. Medical facilities may provide staff training and require additional user support, typically in the first few weeks.  Annual medical computer replacements would cause too frequent waves in facility performance and efficiency. Many healthcare facilities, have flexible intervals in place for medical computer replacement times, thus finding a unit that will function properly until the next replacement interval is imperative. For most healthcare environments, three to five years is the replacement interval.

Medical computers by Tangent have a lifespan of 5 years plus.

Sooner replacements, due to medical computer failure can result in unplanned spending and frustration. Identifying a reliable medical computer manufacturer is imperative for reliability and to prevent workplace mishaps.

Tangent offers computers made specifically for healthcare institutions meeting the timeline for unit replacement.

Indications for a New Medical Computer

Beyond the typical three to five year medical computer replacement mark, there are indications to be aware of that signify its time for a medical computer change.

1. Software Compatibility: If your medical computer no longer supports your operating system, it’s time for a change. Receiving alerts and warnings that applications are no longer compatible with your medical computer operating system can indicate you need to replace your medical computer.

2. Poor Performance: Medical facilities are provide lifesaving services and there is no greater place for the need of efficiency. When your medical computer begins to operate sluggishly and unable to multitask rapidly, it’s time for a computer change.

3. Security Issues: At any time, receiving security warnings requires a call to your IT department. Patient confidentiality and sensitive information can never be jeopardized. Security vulnerabilities from failed software updates stemming from compatibility issues can indicate it’s time for a medical computer replacement.

indoor farming

Industrial Computers for Indoor and Greenhouse Farming

Tangent offers specialized computers ideal for indoor and greenhouse farming. Humidity, dust, liquids, chemicals, extreme temperature and 24hr redundancy are some of the elements that industrial computers by Tangent were designed to provide. 

Engineered for Indoor and Greenhouse Farming

Industry-specific computers have been custom engineered with components able to physically withstand environmental demands. The Vita KW industrial computer operates at temperatures between 32° – 95°F and humidity levels of 20% – 85% non-condensing, making it a versatile unit perfect for several crops and regions. While our S Series industrial computers offer operation in harsher environments with operating temperatures of 32 – 104°F and humidity levels of 10% – 90% non-condensing.

Configured for Peripherals

Tangent industrial computers like the Vita KW and S Series make monitoring easier with widescreen options. Comfortable viewing options allow end users to view and display automation data and make adjustments from their fingertips. Modern greenhouse sensors can detect the following: moisture, humidity, pump flow, temperature, PH, PPM meters for liquid fertilizers and additive chemicals. Adjustments to levels and equipment are then made to ensure the crop is at optimal levels necessary. With multiple port options, sensors requiring ethernet and USB connections can be configured to the industrial computers with ease. Optional Intel Wireless AC-7260 & Bluetooth configurations allow for the computers to connect to wireless devices. Wired or wireless, greenhouse and indoor farming staff make lighting adjustments, schedule automated irrigation and regulate temperature all from one industrial computer.

External connectors are bypassed with a variety of ports including USB, serial (rs232) or RJ45. Indoor and greenhouse farmers may be able to avoid the need for additional switches and USB hubs, with 4 ethernet ports that can act like individual ports, switch or network sharing, and over 6 USB ports and legacy ports like LPT1. 

Compatible Touchscreens

Indoor farmers actively work to keep chemical and water levels balanced. This may be in the form of adding liquid fertilizer or manually adjusting a sprinkler system. Tangent Vita KW and S Series computers make the job easier with PCAP Multi-Touch screen options. Sensitive enough for a gloved hand or a bare hand, greenhouse farmers can come back to their unit while actively maintaining their greenhouse. The KW and S Series offer touchscreens made for gloves, including latex, nitrile, garden and work gloves. The touchscreen uses a pressure sensitive array of micro sensors vs common capacitive technology, allowing the screen to function when wet or dirty.

What’s more is that the Vita KW and S series industrial computers are enclosed in stainless steel chassis with a IP67 or IP54 rating (depending on which model you choose). Spraying down and cleaning the unit clean is an easy process requiring zero downtime. 

Dust-Friendly Units

Greenhouse growers must also carefully maintain soil levels making sure there is enough moisture and replacing or adding medium where necessary. Greenhouse growers may need to add more top soil, coco, or wool rock. The process of medium adjustment often creates a dusty environment. Tangent’s Vita KW and S Series computers are fanless yielding redundant operation eliminating the risk of the unit getting clogged by dust. Industrial computers with fans for cooling suck in air which makes them susceptible to performance failure in environments of air debris. Tangent’s Vita KW and S Series industrial computers provide fanless cooling technology. A copper and aluminum solid-state heat pump efficiently and silently moves the heat away from critical chips on the motherboard, including the CPU and chipset. A cooling design ideal for greenhouse growers.

Nighttime Performance
