Data Archive
Retire legacy systems while retaining reporting access, managing long-term retention, and ensuring compliance.
Overview
Control data growth in production databases and retire legacy applications, while managing retention, ensuring compliance, and retaining access to business data.
IT spending falls disproportionately on the side of legacy applications, according to the ESG Research ("IT Spending Intentions Survey," January 2013).
Reduce legacy application costs
Decommission legacy systems to dramatically reduce hardware, software, and maintenance costs by archiving legacy data to a secure and highly compressed archive data store. Manage compliance, retention, search, and business reporting across legacy data sources from a centralized, unified archiving platform.
Lower infrastructure costs; optimize app performance
Archiving production databases and retiring legacy systems reduces server and storage costs across the application portfolio. And archiving infrequently accessed data to highly accessible partition segments will optimize application performance. In addition, optimized production databases reduce the storage/server footprint requirements for test and development environments, and maintaining leaner, more optimized production databases lets you minimize maintenance and downtime for operations like backups, standby/recovery, database cloining, and so on.
Manage retention
and compliance
Document and enforce data-retention policies from a common platform for structured data. Facilitate e-discovery and sophisticated cross-application search capabilities in a single interface. Manage legal holds and defensible disposition of data in accordance with enterprise data governance initiatives.
Retain secure access to data
Access archived data safely and securely using the native application interface and security. Use role-based security to search and report against the consolidated, compressed archive. Leverage pre-built accelerator reports for vendor-packaged applications and/or build custom reports to meet access requirements.
