Enterprise-scale data management solution provider, Princeton Softech, has announced the general availability of Release 5.3a of Archive for Servers with expanded support for Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) strategies.
This new release of Archive for Servers delivers integration with Veritas Data Lifecycle Manager 5.0 (DLM) software and Network Appliance storage systems to enhance the management of structured data found in databases. Princeton Softech solutions are available in SA through Datacentrix, local distribution partner.
"As enterprises begin to implement ILM solutions to reduce data management and storage costs and satisfy compliance requirements, it is critical that these solutions integrate seamlessly with existing storage infrastructures," says Alan Kuun, Datacentrix product manager for Princeton Softech. "The latest release of archive for servers enables customers to manage and store archived data with Veritas DLM and Network Appliance`s unified storage systems and NearStore systems."
Veritas DLM 5.0 software automates the placement, retention and management of data in virtual archives that span diverse media types. Princeton Softech`s Archive for Servers leverages the user-defined policies specified within Veritas DLM to manage Archive Files across defined storage tiers. This capability allows organisations to select less expensive, secondary storage media to store Archive Files and reuse expensive primary disks for current application data.
The integration of Archive for Servers with Network Appliance SnapLock software allows users to write Archive files directly to SnapLock-managed WORM (Write Once, Read Many) volumes on Network Appliance primary storage systems (FAS Series) and nearline storage systems (NearStore) systems, with SnapLock enforcing all defined data retention policies for archived data. These features enable regulatory compliance and prevent archived data from being modified or deleted prematurely.
Companies have implemented Archive for Servers to manage accelerating database growth by archiving and removing 50% or more of rarely accessed data from production databases and storing that data cost-effectively. As an essential component of ILM, Archive for Servers provides the capabilities for managing and storing structured data, based on its business value and access requirements over time.
"Companies that implement database archiving and ILM best practices can leverage the most cost-effective performance/storage platforms to regain application and performance benefits, while optimising storage utilisation and reducing costs," concludes Kuun.
