"We are extremely pleased to partner with OTG," stated Russell Stalters, President of TrueArc. "Our implementations are always measured in terms of hundreds of gigabytes to many terabytes, so delivering a robust data management solution integrated with our software solution means a radically lower total cost of ownership, in terms of storage, for our customers."

OTG's DiskXtender joins the TrueArc product lineup - which includes TrueArc's latest release, ForeMost(R) Enterprise SharePoint RecordsActivator(TM) - to offer customers leading electronic records management technology integrated with a wide range of world-class information management solutions. ForeMost Enterprise is the first product on the market to extend records management capabilities to SharePoint Portal Server, addressing the critical information regulatory requirements of government and industry alike by providing compliance with the U.S. DoD 5015.2 standard for electronic recordkeeping.

Additionally, OTG will offer ForeMost Enterprise as an overarching records management application for its XtenderSolutions(R) for Content suite, providing compliance with the DoD 5015.2 standard.
