Arkivio, Inc. today announced it has completed integration with EMC Centera content address storage (CAS) and is introducing an advanced solution for managing file-based, fixed content and regulated data over its lifecycle.
The ARKIVIO® auto-stor software, now integrated with the EMC Centera API (application programming interface), offers data and storage discovery, classification, and management all in one comprehensive ILM solution for regulatory compliance. IT Administrators are able to identify and report on regulated files across EMC storage platforms, heterogeneous file systems, and DAS, NAS, and SAN volumes. Additionally, the ARKIVIO software organizes and classifies data according to its business value and then automates archival and migration to the EMC Centera based on administrator-defined retention policies - all without requiring deployment of agents on application servers or storage devices.
"The EMC Centera CAS system provides the right mix of data integrity and availability for storing regulatory and fixed content information", states Giovanni Paliska, president and CEO of Arkivio. "When combined with ARKIVIO® auto-stor, our mutual customers are better able to manage their data for compliance purposes while at the same time improve management and effective use of their storage resources."
Concerns over information authenticity, protection and security have become a unified global concern as the amount of textual and rich media based information has risen exponentially over the past decade. Government regulations such as SEC Rule 17a-4 for the financial services industries, HIPPA for healthcare, and the all encompassing Sarbanes-Oxley legislation have created a tremendous demand for on-line archiving and data retention solutions such as the award winning EMC Centera.
"The power of EMC Centera is brought to life for customers by integrating with software vendors such as Arkivio", notes Roy Sanford, EMC vice president, content addressed storage. Completed integration with ARKIVIO® auto-stor software helps customers achieve their information life cycle management goals and objectives. "
At EMC’s Technology Summit 2004, Arkivio will present a customer case study for a major aircraft manufacturer that details the business and technical benefits they achieved after implementing the ARKIVIO and EMC ILM solution for Regulatory Compliance.
Peter Gerr, analyst at Enterprise Storage Group concludes, "The integration of the ARKIVIO® auto-stor software with EMC's Centera platform provides users with a tested solution to help them meet compliance guidelines and automate the management of valuable data through its lifecycle."
