Scentric and Permabit collaboration addresses growing need for intelligent archiving

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 6 /- Scentric, the makers of Scentric Destiny, the world's first universal data classification solution across all data types, today announced that it has completed interoperability testing between Scentric Destiny R2 and the Dynamic Information Services platform from Permabit. Scentric has also joined the Permabit Partner Circle for solution providers. Together Scentric and Permabit will offer intelligent archiving solutions to address today's increasingly complex data management and archiving challenges.

"Permabit's Dynamic Information Services has been very successful at solving the problem of where to archive data and providing guaranteed immutability," said Hemant Kurande, co-founder and chief technology officer at Scentric. "Scentric Destiny R2 enhances that capability by helping customers decide what to archive and then automating that archiving process. Together we are providing a universal, scalable, flexible and above all, useable information and classification platform that enables customers to build and enforce comprehensive archiving policies."

"The combination of Permabit and Scentric technologies offers customers a powerful new way of managing data in their organization," said Jim Geronaitis, vice president of marketing and product management for Permabit. "The data management challenges associated with archiving are increasing both in scope and complexity. Integrating policy-based archiving and classification technologies will help customers address looming compliance, e-Discovery and data management problems. "

Scentric Destiny R2 offers enterprises a unique combination of benefits resulting from the following:

o Universal Classification - supports classification and policy-based archiving of data stored in filesystems (NFS, CIFS, Netware), email applications (Exchange, Notes) and SQL databases.

o Enterprise Scalability - Destiny was designed with a highly scalable, distributed architecture to accommodate enterprise wide deployments managing from 10s of terabytes to multiple petabytes - both network and server attached storage.

o Deployment Flexibility - multiple deployment options from simple appliance to fully distributed enterprise system.

o Simple Business Oriented Interface - Simple powerful GUI designed to help IT work with business users to define and implement appropriate archiving policies. Scentric Destiny R2 offers a compelling solution to a variety of problems from tiering data for infrastructure optimization to locating and archiving data matching specific classification rules to address regulations that impact data retention such as SEC 17a-4, NASD 3110, DOD 5015, Sarbanes Oxley and HIPAA.

The award-winning Permabit Dynamic Information Services platform enables organizations to retain and manage information for long-term compliance, governance and litigation support needs while maintaining fast, assured access to the underlying intelligence. Permabit recently introduced version 3 of its platform, adding the industry's most complete information discovery toolkit developed in conjunction with FAST, advanced business analytic reporting capabilities, new security features, and dramatically enhanced performance.
