ZL Technologies: A Unified Approach To Active Archiving: Page 5 of 5

By now, you should have gotten a sense of why active archiving in general is important and, by way of illustration, how ZL Technologies' Unified Archive functions and features support active archive requirements. Until recently, IT did not have to know "what" and "where" data was at a level of granularity that included the individual file or document. For semi-structured information, an active archive answers both questions. "Where" the data is located is obvious; it is in the archive and we can get to it. "What" can now be answered through indexing and search capabilities that allow the efficient exploration of each data item in as much detail as can possibly be extracted.

As pointed out, what defines the ability of an active archive to do its job is an overarching management software framework. For ZL Technologies, that framework is Unified Archive. Unified Archive overcomes scalability and performance obstacles that cause some other active archive solutions to stumble. It also provides a wide and deep set of features and functions that include comprehensive solutions for eDiscovery, compliance, and retention management. With Unified Archiving, ZL Technologies has made itself a player in data center transformation processes that require a move to active archiving.
