Consumer Tech Shows Up in Business Storage Products: Page 4 of 5

Mimosa Systems Inc. today announced the Tiered Storage Option add-on module to its NearPoint Live Content Archiving Platform, which lets administrators set policies to automate migration of email and file information while preserving integrity for legal and compliance requirements.

"We give people an infinite mailbox, but we also preserve a forensically sound copy that is searchable at the item level," said Scott Whitney, vice president of product management at Mimosa.

The new module lets users deploy mixed storage devices, provides file-level and partner-provided block-level data de-duplication, uses policies to automatically migrate data between devices, easily change retention policies, monitor and report on storage pools at each tier, and provides an audit log.

SteelEye Technology Inc. announced its Protection Suite for Linux Multi-Site Cluster, which extends its business continuity products by letting companies with shared-storage Linux clusters replicate over a WAN to an off-site node for disaster recovery. It supports Red Hat, Novell, Oracle and CentOS Linux distributions and offers automatic switching between all-clustered systems.

C2C Systems said it was extending its Archive One system to provide automated, policy-based record retention, discovery, and search for Microsoft Windows file systems. The system offers automated data management, and helps administrators deal with compliance, e-discovery, and storage capacity management. The company said it can handle one million messages an hour.
