Symantec Certifies Plasmon

BROOMFIELD, Colo. -- Plasmon (LSE: PLM), the trusted source in archiving systems, today announced its flagship product, UDO Archive Appliance, has been qualified through the Symantec Technology Enabled Program with Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0 for Non-WORM. Combined, these systems create an information lifecycle management (ILM) solution for Microsoft Exchange email system resources and File System Archiving that minimizes risks of data and corruption, and helps businesses meet regulatory compliance.

Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0 is the market-leading intelligent content archival solution that stores email and collaborative content, manages it according to retention and compliance requirements, and discovers it to support e-discovery and knowledge management. When integrated, the UDO Archive Appliance acts as a transparent storage repository for Enterprise Vault. Email data requiring secure, long-term retention is directed to the UDO Archive Appliance which helps prevent archived messages and documents from being modified or deleted.

“Data integrity and security remain a top priority for businesses today,” said Raja Srinivasan, senior manager, Technology Enabled Program at Symantec. “By integrating Plasmon’s UDO Archive Appliance and Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0 for Non-WORM, we’ve created an affordable, user-friendly ILM solution that meets legal and regulatory record retention requirements, and is highly scalable to meet growing data needs.”

Users who archive their data with this new ILM solution are able to leverage the multi-tiered storage capabilities and security of Plasmon’s UDO Archive Appliance and the simplified data management of Enterprise Vault. The data archive system allows users to retain more content, reduce IP loss, and rapidly search and find content while complying with all pertinent data management regulations and reducing customer risk.

According to Michael Brooks, Director of Strategic Alliances at Plasmon, “An email archiving strategy that includes the UDO Archive Appliance helps mitigate the risk of data loss and corruption, reduce storage costs, and improve overall system performance. By combining the key benefits of UDO Archive Appliance and the Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0, we can keep archiving costs as low as possible for our customers while providing a more reliable long-term data management solution.”Plasmon plc (London: PLM)
