Archivas Extends Solutions Partner Program to Include Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) - Adds Three New Partners.

WALTHAM, Mass. -- CaminoSoft, Enigma Data Solutions and Scentric Join with Archivas to Offer Completely Integrated End-to-End Archiving Solutions to Joint Customers

Archivas(TM), Inc., the leading provider of digital archiving solutions, today announced that Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) solutions providers CaminoSoft, Enigma Data Solutions and Scentric have joined its Solutions Partner Program. This announcement builds upon the program's foundation strategy announced last Fall, which is to recruit and forge strong relationships with the leading independent software vendors (ISVs) in key application domains, in order to deliver completely integrated and tested end-to-end archiving solutions to joint customers.

Based in Westlake Village, California, CaminoSoft is a leading provider of Information Lifecycle Management software solutions that automate the storage, management and safeguarding of data in Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 and Novell NetWare environments. "Market demand for efficient, cost-effective archiving storage platforms continues to grow at a significant rate, fueled by the ongoing expansion of file/print and email messaging, operating system and application space requirements, and corporate governance and regulatory compliance requirements," said Richard Krueger, vice president of marketing and alliances for CaminoSoft. "Joining the Archivas Solutions Program complements CaminoSoft's strategy of partnering with industry leaders to help organizations manage data retention, take control of compliance issues and ensure real-time access to archived files. Combined with the Archivas ArC platform, CaminoSoft's HSM suite enables organizations to implement policies that optimize the usage of storage resources and automate the retention of business-critical content on a trustworthy, scalable archive."

Based in Houston, Texas, Enigma Data Solutions Ltd. is a leading provider of rapid-access, near-line information storage solutions to the petroleum industry and other industries facing intensive data storage challenges. It partners with leading companies, such as Archivas, to deliver the most advanced, scalable and highest performing systems for preserving and rapidly accessing data. Said T.C. Zoboroski, global business development manager for Enigma Data Solutions, "Increasingly, knowledge drives value. But no one knows which data will yield precious knowledge months or years from now. The challenge is to preserve irreplaceable data and give users rapid access when they need it. Together with Archivas, we can offer customers an open standards-based digital archiving solution that stores, protects and manages fixed content, as well as enables users to have access to their archived data forever, even as their technology infrastructure changes over time."

Based in Alpharetta, Georgia, Scentric is an innovative provider of universal data classification solutions designed for cataloging, classifying and controlling all forms of data regardless of type and location in the enterprise. Said Jeff Hornung, senior vice president, business development for Scentric, "While developing Destiny, Scentric made a point of talking to large end users about the data management problems they face. One of the most common observations was that many critical enterprise data management initiatives are delayed or abandoned simply because the IT staff lack effective and scalable tools to classify data. There is a yawning gap between traditional HSM and a new generation of problems in archiving, compliance, e-discovery and data tiering. Scentric Destiny is designed to fill that gap by giving customers a universal, scalable, flexible and above all useable information and classification platform that enables policies based on content and traditional HSM attributes like age or access patterns. This combination of content and metadata classification gives customers the deep insight into their data needed to solve today's information management challenges."

"HSM offers customers powerful tools to shape business policies," said Jeff Spotts, vice president of marketing for Archivas. "It provides a way to automate a tiered storage strategy by moving older, infrequently accessed files to lower cost storage. When combined with a digital archive platform like Archivas' ArC technology, business, legal and IT users now have the tools to implement compliance and governance policies that move critical or irreplaceable content to a trustworthy, scalable long-term storage tier for retention and preservation, while retaining native access. We are proud to have HSM market leaders and innovators such as CaminoSoft, Enigma Data Solutions and Scentric join with us to offer the most technically advanced, scalable and cost-effective, end-to-end digital archiving solutions tuned to customers' specific application requirements."
