Scentric, the provider of universal data classification solution, has unveiled Scentric Destiny Enterprise Suites for Data Privacy, e- Discovery, and Compliance. Each suite combines software, services, and maintenance pre-configured to address the specific challenges of these emerging information management issues in large enterprises. Each suite starts at 25 terabytes and includes options for 50, 100 and 150 terabytes, the company is said to have quoted.
"Customers have told us their early experience with competitive products have been less than satisfactory primarily because of scale issues in their large environments," said Jeff Hornung, president and CEO of Scentric.
"These new suites combine the enterprise scalability customers demand in order to address critical problems in data privacy, e-discovery, and compliance," said Brad O'Neill, senior analyst at the Taneja Group.
In addition to data privacy issues and the new e-discovery rules, many large enterprises are subject to industry and governmental regulations that define retention periods for specific types of files and e-mail communications. Investment banks, for instance, are required to keep all communications between brokers and customers for a period of seven years. In addition to strict retention periods, many of these regulations specify that the data be stored in an "immutable" form, meaning the organisation needs to be able to prove that these files have not been altered from the original record. Many compliance-specific archive solutions are available to address the 'immutability' requirement. Most take the form of a Content Addressable Storage (CAS) device or CAS software integrated with a standard storage device. The Destiny Enterprise Suite for Compliance includes all of the features of the Data Privacy Suite and the e-Discovery Suite and adds the capability to move and manage data to the most popular CAS solutions, including Hitachi HCAP, Archivas, Permabit, NetApp NearStor, and EMC's Centrea, the company said in a statement.
The Destiny Enterprise suites are available immediately with prices starting at USD 80,000 for 25 Terabytes of managed data, inclusive of software, installation, training and first year maintenance.
