Mountain View and Tustin, CA. :: June 7, 2005
Arkivio Inc., a leading provider of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions for the enterprise, announced today that MTI Technology Corporation (Nasdaq/SCM: MTIC), a leading multi-national storage solutions and services company, is now a reseller of its complete suite of ARKIVIO® AUTO-STOR software solutions and has integrated the ARKIVIO® AUTO-XPLOR storage and data audit tool into its new MTI Insight service offering.
"MTI’s distinguished multi-national reputation as a leading provider of professional services for data storage, storage management and data protection solutions makes them the ideal channel partner for Arkivio," said Buzz Walker, vice president of marketing and business development for Arkivio. "IT departments are looking more and more to solutions integrators to provide strong value-add in their product and service offerings by helping to assess, implement and achieve a realistic information lifecycle management strategy. ARKIVIO® AUTO-STOR combined with MTI’s professional services and integrated EMC storage solutions, provides a strong ILM solution to add value to their customers’ storage environment by directly addressing regulatory compliance, backup & recovery optimization, storage consolidation and storage capacity management across a tiered-storage infrastructure." "We chose the ARKIVIO® AUTO-STOR ILM solution because of its unique ability to integrate data and storage discovery, classification, and automated movement across heterogeneous storage devices and networks into one comprehensive solution for Information Lifecycle Management," added Lance Broell, director of marketing for MTI. "This is a significant selling point since today’s businesses are constantly challenged to keep up with the growing demands on their storage infrastructure, due in part to the industry’s need to retain information to comply with corporate governance requirements." MTI has also incorporated the ARKIVIO® AUTO-XPLOR software into its new MTI Insight subscription service, which gives their customers an in-depth knowledge of their storage environment on an ongoing basis, allowing them to implement storage and data management strategies to reduce cost, maximize resources and improve operational efficiencies. The ARKIVIO® AUTO-XPLOR software, integrated into the MTI Insight Data Lifecycle Advisor, enables IT managers to collect detailed information about each device, volume, and file in a heterogeneous storage network, without requiring the installation of server agents.
