ABREVITY Announces the First Information Value Management Software That Transcends the Limitations of ILM
FileData Manager(TM) Goes Beyond Information Lifecycle Management by Adding Granular Data Discovery, Context Classification and Transparent Data Migration
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 13 - ABREVITY, Inc., today came out of stealth mode to announce availability of its FileData Manager(TM) Information Value Management (IVM) solution, the first affordable software to transcend the limitations of traditional Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions.
With versions starting at below $500 per terabyte, FileData Manager is the only Information Classification and Management (ICM) solution suitable for Small to Medium Business (SMB) through Fortune 50 enterprises. FileData Manager is also the only solution offering user-selectable metadata parsing, content and context data extraction and automated file tagging for data classification. This granular visibility allows for policy-based management of valuable information for compliance, security, legal discovery, business intelligence, disaster recovery and intelligent backup.
"FileData Manager is an affordable, easy-to-use software solution that installs in minutes," said Joel Harrison, ABREVITY chief technology officer. "Unlike other solutions, which are only applications built on expensive and inflexible relational databases, FileData Manager is built on our new 1BASE technology which offers orders of magnitude more scalability and flexibility."
A separate, lightweight utility scans Windows and UNIX network or desktop storage systems and extracts target information. Users can then find and extract target words, values or phrases found inside file paths and common file types such as Microsoft Office(R), PDF, PST, txt, XML, HTML, etc. FileData Manager also creates file summaries and automatically adds context to extracted content, such as persons, companies, social security numbers, amounts, taxonomies, etc. Policy management allows automated file migration while leaving file stubs (shortcuts).
"IT professionals are looking for tools that provide increased 'visibility' into their growing data stockpiles," said Heidi Biggar, analyst for the Enterprise Strategy Group. "They are looking for ways to sort out what they have and then leverage this information for business purposes. Abrevity is one of a growing number of vendors taking steps to provide this type of view of data. What differentiates Abrevity is its use of a new data model (versus conventional relational database or enterprise search technologies) to enable fast search, discovery, and data analysis of the large data volumes being generated today."
"FileData Manager is a powerful tool for ILM because it offers metadata extraction, search, classification (tagging) and policy-management for data as well as a powerful file discovery interface," said ABREVITY customer Jim Petralli, director of IT services at Level III Services, Inc. "Its distributed architecture allows FileData Manager to manage more than a billion records without performance degradation. This feature allows scalability and lowers the cost of deployment in remote locations."
Today, ABREVITY announced BioData Manager, the first solution in the life sciences market to transcend the crippling limitations of traditional methods of finding, extracting, classifying and managing laboratory instrument files to facilitate analysis, compliance, litigation, security and Information Value Management.
