Part of this reform is the requirement to
archive all incoming and outgoing electronic communication. IMs fall under this requirement;
therefore, you are required to archive all the IMs your organization generates.
Configuring Archiving ??? Chapter 7 221
Other Compliance Requirements
Your organization may be subject to many other compliance requirements. For example, the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requires IMs to be stored for at least three years;
the National Association of Securities Dealers requires that all IMs be treated the same as
e-mail and other electronic forms of communication.
How OCS Addresses Compliance
Compliance in OCS is handled via an Archiving and CDR Server that allows you to confi gure
OCS to archive all IMs and meetings to a dedicated database. Due to the scalable nature of OCS,
the Archiving and CDR Server can scale from a single server to multiple servers to ensure that
compliancy requirements are met. Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) is used to transport the
messages from the front-end server to the Archiving and CDR Server.
NOTE
MSMQ is a Windows component that allows applications to send and receive
messages to each other. If the receiving application is not running, messages
are stored on the receiving fi le system until the application is started.
MSMQ is a transactional system that ensures that resources are available to
accept messages to the MSMQ service for transmission. These mechanisms in
MSMQ are used to ensure that compliance requirements are met and messages
are not lost.
