Symantec launches Intelligent Archiving Partner program

Bangalore, Mar 6 (UNI) Symantec Corp today announced the launch of its Intelligent Archiving Partner program, developed to provide organisations with more specific information about the content and context of the records in their ever-growing data stores.

Symantec had partnered with a number of content classification and records management software providers to help Symantec Enterprise Vault email and content archiving software customers make more informed decisions around the archiving, storage, retention and discovery of these business records, while simultaneously reducing storage costs, eliminating unnecessary litigation risks and minimising the time and cost involved in discovery and search, the company said in a release here.

''Organisations typically implement archiving strategies based on time or size limits rather than content. This often leads to retaining some records for longer than the legal department requires and creating unnecessarily high storage costs. Symantec's Intelligent Archiving Partner program enables an organisation to choose from a number of products to custom-tailor a more effective archiving policy and easily integrate it into its overall records management strategy,'' Mr Jeremy Burton, Senior Vice-President, Data Management Group, Symantec Corp, said.

''Our research estimates that the capacity of email archives will grow to an estimated 3,500 Petabytes in 2010,'' Brian Babineau, an analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group, a leading IT analyst firm, said.
