Mobius Delivers High-Performance, Compliant Content and Records Management with Sun Microsystems' StorEdge


Integrated Solution Offers Fast, Reliable, Cost-Effective Storage and Access

RYE, N.Y., Dec. 6 -- Mobius Management Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOBI), the leading provider of software for total content management (TCM), and Sun Microsystems today announced the integration of the Mobius ViewDirect TCM software suite with the Sun Microsystems StorEdge 5310/5310C Compliance Archiving System. This high-volume, high-performance solution cost-effectively and efficiently manages all traditional corporate records, e-mail and content in any format from any source and ensures its integrity, reliability and long-term availability. It makes content available to support business operations and it mitigates the risks and costs associated with legal and regulatory compliance.

The integrated solution addresses customer challenges of managing growing volumes of diverse content and records while satisfying the need for rapid retrieval and high availability not possible with optical media. Together, the Mobius ViewDirect TCM suite and Sun StorEdge offer an affordable, long- term management and storage solution that enables customers to improve customer service, minimize risk exposure, eliminate isolated content silos, and protect against data loss.

ViewDirect TCM integrates enterprise content in a consolidated repository or through access to multiple, disparate repositories and includes a complete suite of content-centric applications that enable regulatory compliance and automate business processes. ViewDirect TCM scales from the desktop to the enterprise. Implementations range from departmental applications to multi- server systems with hundreds of thousands of users and billions of documents. Sun's 5310 Compliance Archiving System delivers a complete and highly available long-term solution. High-capacity serial ATA disks with WORM (non-erasable, non-rewritable) technology provide cost-effective, highly scalable capacity as well as the high-speed access and dependability that will mitigate legal risk while assuring that regulatory requirements are met.

"Our customers' storage requirements are changing," said Mark Dye, vice president of business development at Mobius. "They have to store and Web- enable increasing volumes of records, including bills, statements, images, reports, scanned forms, e-mail, transactions, policies, customer correspondence and more. ViewDirect TCM provides a highly scalable, easily accessible repository and StorEdge provides cost-effective data retrieval that is much faster than optical storage. The integrated hardware and software solution has the lowest total cost of ownership available and makes it easier for our customers to manage any content from any source on any platform at 'Internet speed.' They no longer have to choose between expensive primary disk and slow tape."

"With the fully integrated ViewDirect TCM and StorEdge 5310 solution, our customers are assured of reliable and on-going interoperability and that the system has been tuned for optimal performance," said Tom Martin, director of Sun's Network Attached Storage group. "In addition, we have simplified the process of deploying the combined solution and we are delivering it at a compelling price."
