EMC extends information lifecycle management for compliance
Announcement posted by EMC 09 Jun 2004
New EMC proven solutions, platform functionality and services help customers manage information to meet regulatory demands and address compliance requirements
EMC Corporation, the world leader in information storage and management, today announced capabilities that further empower customers to make compliance a seamless part of IT operations through information lifecycle management (ILM). The new EMC Proven Solutions for e-mail and content archiving and retrieval, new platform functionality for compliance-related data management, and enhanced services for data classification will help customers extract the maximum value from their information at the lowest total cost while meeting regulatory demands and achieving compliance.
Corporate governance, legal requirements and government regulations are forcing IT organisations to re-evaluate their information management strategies. These organisations need to create and implement policies for data integrity, authentication, legal discovery and retrieval. EMC offers the industrys broadest family of tiered storage platforms, software, services and solutions. These solutions address regulatory compliance by helping customers to manage information at every point in the information lifecycle, from content creation, use and retention to final disposition. By enhancing IT capabilities for compliance, EMC helps customers increase the efficiency of their compliance efforts, lower costs and meet changing business needs in an evolving regulatory environment.
Peter Gerr, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, said, EMCs Proven Solutions and services for compliance create an actionable IT agenda that allows customers to manage compliance related data such as e-mail and bank statements the same way they manage transactional data. By automating and better managing information throughout its lifecycle, companies are able to address compliance requirements, but also can reduce costs of information protection, management, and retrieval by consolidating their existing stove-piped compliance and archiving operations.
Today, EMC extends its broad suite of technology solutions and services for regulatory compliance while providing greater simplicity and choice for customers. These new solutions and services include (see separate releases):
EMC Proven Content Archiving and Retrieval Solutions (CARS) automate regulatory compliance by centralising online document and records management with an integrated solution to capture, store and rapidly retrieve content in any format from any source. EMC CARS with Documentum enables customers to manage the content lifecycle for compliance. EMC CARS with Mobius enables customers to transform and archive bills, statements, check images and other content, including mainframe generated content, in compliance with regulations.
EMC Proven Solution for E-mail Archiving optimises placement of e-mail, helping organisations address cost and compliance objectives from faster upgrades and better user experiences to the most stringent regulations. The EMC Proven Solution tightly integrates the LEGATO EmailXtender e-mail archiving application with EMCs tiered storage and services to archive e-mail content from Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes.
EMC Centera CAS (content addressed storage) offers new retention classes, audited delete and configurable default retention period compliance functionality with its latest operating environment release, CentraStar v2.3. These enhancements deliver enhanced performance and manageability functions, allowing customers to meet their online fixed content archiving demands, further extending Centeras market lead in this category.
EMC Technology Solutions group offers Data Classification Services to help customers create an ILM strategy by defining a tiered storage architecture that aligns business requirements to architecture, data policies and service levels. Data Migration Services from EMC and its partners provide unmatched experience, methodologies and tools to help customers move their information to a more effective and productive architecture while minimising risk and accelerating business benefit.
Addressing more than 500 customers here in New York, David Goulden, EMCs Executive Vice President of Customer Operations, said, As compliance requirements proliferate, organisations demand flexible solutions to help them comply with current requirements and adapt to new and evolving ones. EMC can help these organisations comply with these regulations because it has extensive experience with compliance issues and the broadest and deepest set of offerings and partnerships in the industry. Today, EMC Proven Solutions for compliance help customers implement ILM to address regulatory, corporate governance and legal demands. Customers can manage and store information from its creation to disposition, setting the appropriate retention periods along the way.
CareGroup, a system of world-renowned academic medical centres and outstanding community hospitals in Massachusetts, is dedicated to providing the best-quality care and services to patients in a highly personalised manner. John Halamka, CareGroups Chief Information Officer, said, To meet regulatory requirements, were required to keep our medical records for nine million patients for up to 30 years. As the foundation of our information lifecycle management strategy, EMCs extensive storage, software and services lets us keep our mission-critical patient information on high-performance, highly available storage for real-time access, and our less-critical data on a reliable, lower-cost mid-tier system. This not only ensures regulatory compliance, but also enables us to continue providing superior-quality patient care.
