Archivas to Demonstrate Long-Term Fixed Content Archiving Solution at Gartner 25th Annual Data Center Conference.

Archivas Cluster (ArC) Now Delivers iSCSI Support and Industry Leading Scalability to over 85 Million User Files Per Server Node, for Total of Almost Seven Billion User Files Manageable in Single Archive Cluster

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Archivas[R], Inc., the leading provider of digital archiving solutions, today announced that it will demonstrate its Archivas Cluster[TM] (ArC[TM]) software at the Gartner 25th Annual Data Center Conference, taking place November 28 - December 1, 2006 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, NV.

The Archivas demonstration, in Booth D-4, will highlight ArC's recently announced enhancements, including fully qualified iSCSI support, as well as industry leading scalability that now extends to 85 million user files per server node, for a total of almost seven billion user files manageable in a single archive cluster.

ArC software is a comprehensive preservation, compliance, and discovery platform for fixed content. It offers an enterprise-class storage repository with a single, global namespace, file-level retention, and other active, object-based policies. In addition, ArC is searchable by both metadata and content. ArC runs on standard data center servers and supports JBOD, RAID or SAN-based storage, providing customers with unprecedented deployment flexibility. Customers can avoid the proprietary lock-in of competing products because of ArC's POSIX-compliant file system, standard file formats, and accessibility through open data protocols such as CIFS, NFS, HTTP, and WebDAV.

"Rigorous data archiving requirements to support compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPPA, as well as the necessity to act in accordance with internal governance and legal discovery mandates, has driven companies to recognize that the need to archive business data is not an option, but a legal and business imperative," said Jeff Spotts, vice president of marketing for Archivas. "Archivas supports these needs by offering the most technologically advanced and cost-effective online solution available on the market today. Moreover, because it is a completely open solution, customers are not locked-into any vendor's proprietary technology - consequently, not just their data is protected, but their 'freedom of choice' remains intact as well."

According to a Gartner research report entitled, "Overview of Fixed Content Disk Archive Storage" dated April 10, 2006 by Gartner analysts Stanley Zaffos and Pushan Rinnen, "Fixed content archiving built on top of tiered disk storage infrastructures is quickly becoming a best practice in highly regulated industries. Driving this trend is a combination of factors. The main factors are budget constraints, staff productivity, and regulatory requirements."
