Database archiving company, Princeton Softech, has announced the general availability of Archive for Servers Oracle Applications Edition Release 2.1. This release expands "out-of-the-box" archiving support for Oracle Applications to include human resources payroll and project costing and billing.
Release 2.1 also expands the availability of low-cost storage options to all supported modules. Flexible storage alternatives enable companies to archive rarely accessed historical data, store it on the most cost-effective storage media and keep it accessible to reduce the cost of data retention compliance.
Princeton Softech solutions are available locally through IT infrastructure and solutions provider, Datacentrix, an authorised southern African distribution partner.
"As an Oracle Certified Partner, with proven experience in archiving from Oracle databases, Princeton Softech is committed to meeting the customer demand to provide database archiving capabilities for Oracle E-Business Suite," says Alan Kuun, Datacentrix product manager for the Princeton Softech product suite.
"Princeton will continue to deliver new archive solutions for the most data-intensive Oracle Applications modules, while expanding the number of cost-effective storage options. As a best practice, database archiving is an essential component for implementing information lifecycle management (ILM) strategies, enabling companies to improve application performance and lower the costs of managing and storing archived data throughout the information lifecycle."
In addition to new module support for Oracle Applications, Release 2.1 delivers support for Multiple Reporting Currencies (MRC), offering advantages for companies that must manage archived data in global economies. This enhancement enables businesses to manage currency conversions with ease and accuracy in their archive environments when viewing archived data, standard currency viewing and multi-currency functionally.
Since its introduction in Release 2.0 of Archive for Servers Oracle Applications Edition, Princeton Softech`s Verification Engine has provided automated installation and configuration checking, system and process diagnostics and Oracle patch and upgrade checking. Release 2.1 expands these capabilities to verify, diagnose and troubleshoot problems in the overall Oracle Applications archiving environment. These enhancements ensure a smooth transition when upgrading the active archive database to support new versions of Oracle Applications.
Princeton Softech continues to expand its database archiving and storage options and this release supports a variety of low-cost media for storing archived Oracle Applications data. For example, archived data can be stored near-line on a file server, offline to tape, disk-based WORM device, or long-term permanent storage devices, such as HP Storage Works, IBM TotalStorage DR550, NetApp NearStore with SnapLock or EMC Centera. Archived data remains accessible on demand, no matter where it is stored.
