Austin, TX - March 16, 2010
- StoredIQ, a leading provider of Intelligent Information
Management and eDiscovery solutions, today announced a solution
partnership with NetApp to offer customers best-of-breed
information management and storage solutions for enterprise
environments. Under terms of the agreement, StoredIQ has joined the
NetApp Alliance Partner Program and will integrate NetApp®
storage into StoredIQ's Intelligent Information Management
Platform, an enterprise-class, software-based appliance designed to
manage the functional intersection of eDiscovery, Information
Governance, Records Management, and Storage Management.
StoredIQ's Intelligent Information Management
Platform is designed to easily integrate into an existing corporate
infrastructure while reducing IT administration and total cost of
ownership by including all the necessary software, hardware, and
storage within a packaged appliance offering. StoredIQ is the only
mainstream information management solution to include onboard
storage for data indices.
The integration with NetApp FAS2000 series
NAS provides the greatest feature blend of price, performance, and
scalability required by the StoredIQ appliance. Among the
market-leading technologies inherent in the FAS2000 series, the
StoredIQ platform can also leverage NetApp Snapshot™
technology to back up indices and recover data in the case of disk
failure.
StoredIQ also leverages the FAS2000 series'
scalability to offer a wide variety of capacities to meet varied
customer demands. With the same FAS2000 product family, the
StoredIQ appliance can scale from 5TB to 500TB of data under
management within a single cluster, growing as the enterprise
expands by simply adding additional NetApp NAS capacity.
Customer benefits of the joint solution
include:
- Eliminating the need to indentify, purchase, set up, or
maintain a secondary data store to house the indices;
- Eliminating the costs, risks, and burden of an additional
storage platform;
- Reducing both the deployment time and total cost of ownership,
creating a virtual plug-and-play solution for information
management and eDiscovery within the enterprise;
- Scaling rapidly and efficiently to address the ever-increasing
amount of corporate electronically stored information.
"One of the most difficult challenges when
deploying an information management solution into an IT ecosystem
is integrating it into the existing corporate infrastructure," said
Keith Zoellner, CTO at StoredIQ. "Combining best-in-class
technologies from StoredIQ and NetApp into a consolidated platform
limits the impact on our customers and delivers enterprise-class
information management features, reliability, and scalability for
unprecedented performance and reduced TCO."
"The Alliance Partner Program is designed to
bring together innovative and integrated technologies to better
enable customer success," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of
Solutions and Alliances at NetApp. "This is exactly what StoredIQ
brings to the relationship. As the amount of enterprise data
continues to expand, StoredIQ's eDiscovery and information
management solution helps NetApp customers intelligently and
efficiently manage the unwieldy amounts of unstructured data."
Availability
StoredIQ's Intelligent Information Management Platform, including
NetApp's FAS2000 family, is available immediately worldwide via its
direct sales and channel partners. For information about specific
