ADTX and ARKIVIO Form OEM Partnership To Deliver Data Lifecycle Management Solutions To Asian Market
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 8, 2003
– Advanced Technology and Systems Co. Ltd. (ADTX), a preeminent
Japanese multi-national manufacturer and storage service provider of
network storage and multimedia products, announced today it has
selected Arkivio as its OEM supplier of data lifecycle management
solutions and that they will sell a local language version of the
ARKIVIOŽ auto-stor product to the expanding Asian IT market.
ADTX selected the ARKIVIOŽ auto-stor software suite to broaden their
storage software and services offering in order to meet growing
customer demand for non-intrusive storage assessments and data
management solutions that automate storage consolidation, utilize more
cost-effective secondary storage, and streamline archival and disaster
recovery activities. The OEM agreement, with multi-million dollar
potential to Arkivio, will involve the development of a Japanese only
version of the ARKIVIOŽ auto-stor software.
Headquartered in Yokohama, Japan, with offices in the US, Philippines,
China and Hong Kong, ADTX sells its extensive line of network storage
products and offers SSP services to multi-national companies including
Toshiba Corp., IBM Japan Corp., NEC Corp., Hitachi Electronics,
FUJITSU, LTD., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd., and Siemens,
Solectron and Flextronics International. “Our customer base has shown
an increasing demand for intelligent storage management solutions that
measure data value within its lifecycle and automate data management to
optimize IT resources while minimizing infrastructure costs,” said
Fusahiko Hasegawa, president & CEO of ADTX. “After exhaustive due
diligence of all the competitive entrants, we’ve concluded that
Arkivio’s data lifecycle management solutions were the most
comprehensive and proved to be the best fit for our customers.”
The new ADTX storage assessment services will leverage ARKIVIOŽ
auto-stor’s agentless discovery and data collection to non-intrusively
identify a client’s high and low value data and to classify and
logically group storage resources by type, cost, or make/model. In
addition, users will be able to automate data management actions to
ensure high value data remains on primary storage and is replicated,
while less critical data is migrated and archived to lower cost
storage. By intelligently optimizing the placement of data and the
utilization of storage resources, the ARKIVIO Data Lifecycle Management
solution enables enterprises to fully utilize existing storage,
prevents work stoppages due to volumes exceeding capacity, and
automates storage management operations to improve productivity levels.
“We’re pleased to form a strategic partnership with ADTX to bring data
lifecycle management technology to Asia” added Giovanni Paliska,
president and CEO of Arkivio. “ADTX’s success in the Asian market and
leadership in storage solutions to Global companies make them an ideal
partner. We are confident the ARKIVIOŽ auto-stor software will enable
ADTX’s customers to achieve a substantial ROI by automating data
migration to lower costs RAID devices offered by ADTX and by
streamlining storage management operations.”
