Redwood City and Costa Mesa, CA. 22 June
2006 - Decru, a NetApp company, and FileNet Corporation today
announced they are teaming to deliver secure enterprise content
management (ECM) solutions to enhance privacy for sensitive and
regulated data. The combination of FileNet's P8 platform and Decru
DataFort storage security appliances enables user-transparent,
granular encryption by document group, selectable security
policies, and secure lifecycle management for virtually any type of
content. Decru and FileNet are extending interoperability testing
for the combined solution and will undertake cooperative sales and
marketing efforts.
The FileNet and Decru® solution addresses growing customer
requirements for high-performance, high-security content management
and data protection solutions for enterprise compliance. As storage
and information security requirements converge, customers are
searching for methods to lock down data at rest in complex,
heterogeneous environments where IT infrastructures often house
many terabytes of regulated information. As a result, encryption is
growing in popularity as a best practice for ensuring compliance
and data security for ECM.
The joint solution combines FileNet's P8 platform with Decru
DataFort storage security appliances (
http://www.netapp.com/au/products/storage-security-systems/datafort/)
and leverages core architecture and product strengths of each
company. Decru offers proven, high-speed encryption and security
for data at rest on virtually any storage device. FileNet provides
the ability to organise and selectively handle all categories of
documents within an organisation and apply appropriate process,
content and storage management policies.
The jointly tested and supported solution also allows customers the
ability to define customised policies for access controls,
security, and data privacy, which are particularly valuable to
FileNet's Content Manager, Email Manager, and Records Manager
customers. In addition, FileNet's Active Storage and Retrieval
(ASAR) services, built into FileNet P8, enable policy-based mapping
of FileNet documents to storage devices and individual device
volumes, as well as event-driven movement of documents. Using this
capability, customers can selectively encrypt sensitive documents
by storing them in Decru Cryptainer vaults, which are encrypted
volumes maintained on respective NAS, FC SAN, or IP SAN storage
systems.
"More and more of our customers are requesting enhanced security
methods and encryption to protect their sensitive data, and Decru
holds a clear leadership position in the storage security market,"
said Martyn Christian, chief marketing officer for FileNet.
"Linking FileNet's content, e-mail, and records management
offerings with Decru high-performance security appliances provides
a powerful solution to help customers address privacy and
compliance requirements."
"Driven by headlines, regulations, and evolving best practices,
enterprise and government organisations are increasingly focused on
securing stored data. Integrating encryption and content management
into the data management infrastructure is vital," said Kevin
Brown, vice president of marketing, Decru. "FileNet's sophisticated
content management software complements Decru hardware-based
security appliances, and we believe customers will benefit from the
combined functionality."
