There are a lot of other benefits to Enterprise Vault other than reducing the size of the Exchange store.

Hi we have Exchange 2003 and Enterprise Vault 6. About 700 mailboxes. Our EV is installed on a backup server and due to increasing capacity issues needs to be moved, and upgraded to 2007. It has been suggested that if we upgrade to Exhange 2007 and do away with online message archive which will simplify our environment. Reasoning: We implemented EV to archive messages out of the database for DB size and performance, backup time etc. However with Exchange 2007 x64, the DB size issue goes away, we would still have quotes :-), X64 performance is much better and the much quicker backups under Exch2007 are very attractive. Has anyone looked or gone down this path? Is my logic flawed?
