Press Release Body = Achieve the best possible database performance

"Rapidly expanding quantities of data can have a huge impact on the quality of your
service," explains Huw Price, Director of Grid-Tools. "And can inflate the cost of
IT infrastructure." Data Archive enables organisations to achieve the best possible
performance from their enterprise databases by archiving information based on chosen
criteria, while preserving access to important 'historic' data.

Data archive allows organisations to achieve flexibility, by extracting data for
archiving, while maintaining the integrity of a production database. Information
Lifecycle Management can be achieved by using Data Archive, helping organisations to
comply with, and specify their own, information retention regulations and policies
for both data and documents. By allowing users to specify multiple archive
destinations, to both near line and far line storage devices, Data Archive allows
users to select the most appropriate platform for their archived data.

"Archived data can easily be accessed," explains Huw. "Organisations can use a
choice of retrieval methods to ensure archived data is readily accessible." Powerful
integration options mean that Data Archive can be seamlessly incorporated into any
existing Information Lifecycle Management strategy. The Integrator options include
Bridgehead FileStore, Mobius ViewDirect, and SAND Technology.
