Ltd, a provider of information availability software solutions, and KOM Networks, Inc., a provider of secure
storage management solutions for compliant data protection and retention,
announced a technology alliance partnership that will combine Attunity Managed
File Transfer (MFT) and KOM Network’s KOMpliance.
Integration of the two solutions
will provide fully-managed file transfer capabilities and archive storage. The
combined solution is designed to enable secure data management for
organizations with strict compliance and regulatory requirements.
Enterprise applications, automated
processes and growing digital commerce create ever-increasing numbers of files
including emails, records, financial transactions and images. Compliance rules
and regulations increase the amount of data that must be retained while adding
layer upon layer of complexity in data management. The costs of meeting these
regulations, including data storage, protection, retention, and controlled
information access can tax a company’s IT and business resources. Attunity and
KOM Networks have joined forces to alleviate these burdens with an integrated
transfer and universal WORM storage repository using any HDD or SSD infrastructure.
Designed to move files from external
networks and internal environments in a controlled, audited manner, Attunity
MFT provides a portfolio of policy-based inspection, scanning and
routing capabilities. Combined with KOM Network’s KOMpliance, an
enterprise-level, regulatory-compliant, networked storage appliance, the result
is a solution that will enable companies to transfer, retain, protect
and access their data in one platform, and empower them to meet regulatory and
corporate compliance requirements.
"KOM
Networks and Attunity are like-minded. We fully recognize the compliance and IT
challenges that exist and intend to address them head-on with this technology
alliance," said Kamel Shaath , CTO at KOM Networks. "Combining our proven vendor-neutral
tamperproof storage solutions with Attunity’s file transfer technology enables
us to ensure that critical data is fully archived, audited and protected 100%
of the time – starting with the transfer process and remaining so through
retention and final disposition. This enables enterprises and SMBs to meet their most stringent regulatory and corporate requirements.
Customers will also appreciate the out-of-the-box functionality and easy
implementation our joint solution will offer."
"Security,
automation and archiving are major concerns for our respective customers,"
said Garrick Herrmann, VP sales at Attunity. "In addition to traditional file transfer needs, customers continue to
express a need to use Attunity MFT as a gateway to archiving. By integrating
our technology with KOM Networks, we are addressing these needs so that
organizations will now be able to tap into multiple file sources with Attunity
MFT and then push data packages into KOMpliance in a single, fully-managed
effort. We look forward to helping our joint customers streamline their secure
archiving initiatives."
