CaminoSoft's Information Lifecycle Management Solution Supports EMC Centera Compliance Edition Content Addressed Storage.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 2004 Integration Delivers Innovative Data Management and Storage Scalability CaminoSoft Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). : CMSF CMSF Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation CMSF Canada Millennium Scholarship Fund CMSF Chief of Mission Systems Flight CMSF Congregation of the Missionaries of St Francis ), a leading provider of Information Lifecycle Management Information Lifecycle Management refers to a wide-ranging set of strategies for administering storage systems on computing devices. Specifically, four categories of storage strategies may be considered under the auspices of ILM. (ILM) solutions, today announced that it has entered into EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. Corporation's Centera Partner Program and completed the integration of CaminoSoft's Managed Server HSM (1) (Hierarchical Storage Management) The automatic movement of files from hard disk to slower, less-expensive storage media. The typical hierarchy is from magnetic disk to optical disc to tape. software with the EMC Centera Compliance Edition content addressed storage A storage technique from EMC for content that is in its final form (fixed content). CAS assigns an identifier to the files so they can be accessed no matter where they are located. (CAS) solution. EMC Centera and the Compliance Edition version represent an entirely new software-driven storage architecture specifically designed to address the unique information storage requirements of unchanging digital assets such as print and mail electronic "reference" documents maintained and archived by virtually every organization. CaminoSoft's Managed Server HSM, Centera Edition enables customers to better manage utilization of storage resources throughout an enterprise. By applying consistent policies, administrators control the location of files as they move through their lifecycle, beginning with high-performance, higher-cost storage (such as SAN arrays), then to less-expensive disk arrays and on-line archives such as Centera Compliance Edition, and eventually to off-line archives. Files migrated in such a way tend to become more "fixed" in nature as they move along the storage hierarchy The range of memory and storage devices within the computer system. The following list starts with the slowest devices and ends with the fastest. See storage and memory. VERY SLOW Punch cards (obsolete) Punched paper tape (obsolete) FASTER . EMC Centera Compliance Edition's combined features of fixed content optimization, high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. , scalability and lower overall cost of storage make it very attractive as an archive solution for controlling the otherwise explosive growth requirements of an organization's primary SAN infrastructure. Available now, Managed Server HSM, Centera Edition: -- Manages data storage in an automated, intelligent manner based on administrator-defined policies -- reducing management overhead, manual intervention and costly mistakes; -- Enables backup solutions to focus on active, production files -- optimizing the backup window--while protecting the reference information for the files that were migrated to Centera Compliance Edition; -- Shortens time required to perform full server (disaster) recovery -- thereby minimizing downtime -- by restoring only relevant, production files in full while restoring just the reference information for the infrequently accessed files; -- Provides end-users with immediate and transparent access to all of their stored files in their existing directory structures -- without administrator intervention; and, -- Minimizes SAN storage growth by continually differentiating infrequently accessed files from active production files and migrating them to less expensive storage. "CaminoSoft is very pleased to enter the EMC Centera Partner Program and support Centera Compliance Edition," said Steve Crosson, CaminoSoft CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "The ILM-Centera package combines innovative data management and storage scalability, requirements that are only seen as increasing in the markets that we serve. Managed Server HSM, Centera Edition is a straightforward, cost-effective solution for administering and managing data over a lifecycle -- from creation through utilization to archiving. It is easily configured with EMC Centera Compliance Edition, which facilitates optimal retention and compliance policies for business-critical reference data." Crosson continued, "Infrequently accessed files are estimated to account for as much as 80% of an organization's data. As fixed content storage needs increase, scalable resources can be readily added, supporting virtually infinite growth." Roy Sanford, EMC Vice President of Content Addressed Storage, said, "We are pleased to support our partner efforts in the development and adoption of open Centera solutions. Centera partnerships with application providers such as CaminoSoft enable us to deliver the power and benefits of Centera Compliance Edition to the market. The integration of CaminoSoft's ILM solution with EMC's CAS solution gives organizations a set of intuitive, prescribed policies for automatically migrating fixed content to Centera storage resources from their production servers. This highly complementary fit provides great operational utility and investment leverage." Once relegated to tape archives, optical disks, or file cabinets, fixed content is now being driven online, fueled by regulatory requirements in healthcare, finance and banking, and the desire to leverage this content into new services and revenue streams. Just as the growth of applications such as Computer Aided Design (application) Computer Aided Design - (CAD) The part of CAE concerning the drawing or physical layout steps of engineering design. Often found in the phrase "CAD/CAM" for ".. manufacturing". (CAD) and the explosion of the Web drove the use of Network Attached Storage (NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular ) as an enterprise storage strategy, the need to manage, protect and access fixed content is the driving force behind this new category of networked storage. Whether electronic business documents, X-Rays or bank check images, all types of fixed content have three common attributes: long-term value to an organization, the need to remain unchanged, and increased value through fast access with assured content integrity. The EMC Centera network-based storage solution is designed to deliver all three while economically scaling from multiple terabytes to petabyte-sized environments.
