SenSage, NetApp Partner update from February 2007

SAN FRANCISCO -- SenSage, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise event data management solutions, today announced the availability and tight integration of SenSage event data collection, processing and analysis systems with NetApp(R) enterprise storage and compliance solutions.

The new offerings provide customers with the ability to unlock the value of inaccessible and underutilized system event data to improve the efficiency of security investigations, compliance auditing and systems management from a single, integrated solution.

Compliance mandates and application complexity have greatly increased the need for organizations to collect, analyze and retain massive volumes of system event data in the form of system logs, transactions records and audit data. The ability to effectively mine this sea of data for valuable usage patterns enables organizations to detect insider abuse and abnormal application behavior and to better understand system usage across complex application chains. This requires IT organizations to retain this data over months and years in an online, fully queryable event data mart. The NetApp and SenSage solution will significantly reduce the cost and time-to-value when addressing these business challenges.

"As the complexity and sheer number of applications used in enterprises continues to grow at record levels, event data is increasingly becoming one of the largest datasets in the enterprise," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of Products and Alliances at Network Appliance(TM). "NetApp and SenSage have teamed to offer a comprehensive solution to allow customers to leverage this data for core security, compliance and systems management purposes -- more easily and affordably than ever before."
