Permabit Certified With Symantec Enterprise Vault

Permabit Technology Corporation announced that the Permabit Enterprise Archive family has completed testing through the Symantec Technology Enabled Program (STEP) and has been certified as interoperable with Symantec Enterprise Vault. This certification provides corporate and government customers with the assurance that Permabit’s scalable disk-based archiving solution integrates seamlessly with Symantec’s intelligent archiving platform.

"The open architecture of Permabit Enterprise Archive allows seamless interaction with thousands of applications. This certification validates that our solutions are compatible with Symantec Enterprise Vault, giving our joint customers added piece of mind," said Tom Cook, CEO, Permabit. "This recognition demonstrates a mutual commitment to ensure we provide our joint customers with a certified and supported solution to secure enterprise customers’ business critical information."

Enterprise Vault provides an intelligent archiving platform that stores, manages, and enables discovery of corporate data from email systems, file server environments, instant messaging platforms, and content management and collaboration systems. The solution is able to store all of these data types in a single massively scalable Permabit Enterprise Archive. By leveraging Permabit’s flexible and scalable grid storage architecture, customers can start with one archive initiative and quickly and easily add additional content types to the system. The flexibility to convert archive volumes from Read/Write to Write Once Read Many (WORM) at any time facilitates immediate deployment while providing the flexibility to add more stringent archive requirements later to meet regulatory compliance or corporate governance needs.

Permabit Enterprise Archive provides long-term integrity of stored information for large enterprises while dramatically shrinking operating expenses by leveraging patented Scalable Data Reduction technology, which combines sub-file inline deduplication with traditional compression. Meeting the increasing need for simplicity and reliability in unified enterprise archive solutions as data capacity requirements continue to grow, Symantec and Permabit provide a cost-effective, unified solution that addresses the massive storage requirements of email and file-based archives.
