Archivas Customer Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC) to Participate on 100 Year Archive Panel - Named Finalist for SNW Fall 2005 Best Practices In Storage Award

Archivas(TM), Inc., the leading provider of fixed content archiving solutions, today announced that it will both demonstrate and speak at Storage Networking World (SNW), Fall 2005, being held October 24 - 27 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes Resort in Orlando, FL. Archivas will offer live demonstrations of its Archivas Cluster (ArC) and Andres Rodriguez, founder and chief technology officer of Archivas, will take part on the 100 Year Archive Panel, during the Executive Perspectives Track, as well as present during the Data Protection and SNIA Tutorials Tracks.

The Archivas demonstration in booth #22 will highlight ArC's unparalleled ability to address the unique demands of digital archiving - specifically, how records are quickly and easily ingested into the archive, how those records are preserved and how real-time access is achieved. Attendees will experience first hand how this industry leading technology can dramatically reduce the time to access data, increase data availability and ensure users can read archived data many years into the future.

Andres Rodriguez will present, "Information Lifecycle Management: Why an Open Standards Based Archive Makes Sense," during the Data Protection Track, on Tuesday, October 25th from 3:05 p.m. - 3:50 p.m. During the presentation, Rodriguez will discuss the practical considerations necessary in creating a digital archive. He will discuss how to combine traditional concepts in library science with a new architectural approach that leverages open interfaces, open file formats and standard hardware to enable a modern archive. He will explain why this methodology ensures long-term preservation and access to digital records; and why this is critical for meeting internal standards mandates, as well as complying with external government regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Andres Rodriguez will take part on the 100 Year Archive Panel, occurring within the Executive Perspectives Track, on Tuesday, October 25th from 4:00 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. In addition to Archivas, the panelists will include Archivas customer Cancer Therapy & Research Center, as well as executives from the US Army, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Iron Mountain, MIT Libraries and AIIM. Together, they will talk about the challenges involved with maintaining digital archives over long periods of time and the associated economic, social, institutional and technological issues.

Andres Rodriguez will present, "Archives, Backups and Disaster Recovery: Lines of Distinction," during the SNIA Tutorials Track, on Wednesday, October 26th at 3:05 p.m. - 3:50 p.m. This presentation will discuss how as technology has advanced, it is now possible to maintain all records online. However, this has consequently led to blurred lines between what is considered to be archive versus backup data - each addresses different needs and uses. For example, backup copies are traditionally not intended for access except in specific circumstances, such as during a disaster recovery, while archive data should be quickly and easily accessible for day-to-day business operations. Traditional differences between the uses of fixed content will be addressed, as well as current technology approaches available to address each scenario.

On Friday, October 14, 2005 it was announced that Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC) was named one of five finalists in the SNW Fall 2005 Best Practices in Storage Awards Program in the category of "Data Lifecycle Management." The two top Award Recipients in each category will be announced at the SNW Gala Dinner, which will include the Awards Ceremony and live entertainment, on Wednesday, October 26 at 7:00 p.m.
