FileNet and Decru Team Up For Secure Content Management
Redwood City and Costa Mesa, CA. - June 5,
2006 -- Decru, a NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) company, and FileNet
Corporation (NASDAQ: FILE) 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/us/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 organize and selectively handle all categories of
documents within an organization and apply appropriate process,
content and storage management policies.
The jointly tested and supported solution also
allows customers the ability to define customized 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 organizations
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."
