Why This Guide Matters Now
Enterprise Vault is no longer owned by Veritas. Following Cohesity's 2024 acquisition and the subsequent Arctera spinoff in 2025, EV customers are facing rising maintenance costs, new charges for leaver archives, and a push toward Arctera's cloud platform Alta. The guide explains what's changed, what your options are, and how to plan a migration that doesn't overrun.
What's Covered in the 2026 Edition
→ What the Cohesity acquisition and Arctera spinoff mean for EV customers
→ Key considerations before migrating EV to Microsoft 365
→ Why manual migration is rarely the right approach
→ The three generations of EV migration tools and how they compare
→ How to handle leaver and journal archives that M365 can't accept natively
→ An example of EVComplete's workflow governance in action
