OuterBay and EMC Partner to Manage Structured Content
OuterBay, a leader in application data management software, and EMC Corporation, the world leader in information storage systems, software, networks and services, today announced a business and technology agreement focused on expanding the range of solutions available in support of customers’ information lifecycle management strategies. As part of the agreement, OuterBay Application Data Management suite technologies will be integrated into EMC’s Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) technologies. The resulting solutions will give customers the ability to monitor database growth and usage automatically, and more dynamically move data among different storage tiers, while preserving data access, reducing storage costs and improving overall performance of their database environments.
Mark Sorenson, EMC’s Senior Vice President of Information Management Software, said, “The most successful information lifecycle management strategies will be those that are business-centric and tie closely with key processes and applications. This partnership with OuterBay hits squarely on the center of this critical customer requirement. Specifically, OuterBay will further EMC’s ability to help organizations extract the maximum value for structured content environments at the lowest total cost, across every point in the information lifecycle.”
“The combination of EMC’s storage systems, software and services leadership and OuterBay’s deep application experience sets a new standard for information lifecycle management for Oracle, PeopleSoft, and custom applications in database environments,” said Michael Howard, OuterBay Chief Executive Officer. “The unmatched ILM functionality that our partnership provides will allow enterprise customers to manage and store their data with greater ease at the right cost.”
In January, 2003, OuterBay and EMC announced a technology agreement and the integration of OuterBay’s LiveArchive solution with EMC Centera content addressed storage (CAS), resulting in a new solution for the archiving of business transactions and attachments generated from Oracle, PeopleSoft and custom applications in database environments.
