Sun and Symantec deliver archiving solution for mid-market sector.
 

Recently Sun expanded its portfolio of mid-market solutions with the introduction of an Open Archive solution that pairs the Sun Storage 7110 and 7210 Unified Storage Systems and Sun Fire X4140 and Sun Fire X4240 servers with Symantec Enterprise Vault 8 software. This solution makes it easy for customers to archive different data types, such as files/records, email, instant messaging and sharepoint content while ensuring data integrity.

By using four times less power and half the footprint, the Sun and Symantec Open Archive Solution can reduce storage costs, minimize management complexity, and increase storage ROI, Sun claims.

Other aspects of this release include:

  • Storage costs cost by up to 90%

  • Production and backup storage needs reduced by up to 80%

  • Deployment, administration and management simplified

  • Improved capability for searching and recalling archived information

A pdf entitled "Sun and Symantec Open Archive Solution for Mid-sized Companies" explains that the solution is the result of a collaborative effort to test and certify Symantec Enterprise Vault software on Sun’s latest storage innovation, the Sun Storage 7000 series of unified storage systems. The Sun and Symantec Open Archive solution enables mid-sized companies to solve complex archiving and discovery challenges."

The Sun and Symantec Open Archive solution, which was developed specifically for mid-sized companies, takes the guesswork out of finding hardware and software to match your archiving needs. Pretested configurations combine dense, scalable, high-performance Sun Fire X4140/X4240 servers and Sun Storage 7110/7210 Unified Storage Systems with Symantec Enterprise Vault 8 software. Users get a cost-effective, proven solution built on the combined experience and expertise of two global storage leaders.
