Imation Corp. and GRAU DATA AG, provider of archival software, announced a WORM appliance, which consists of Imation’s RDX A8 Hard Disk Storage Library and GRAU DATA’s FILELOCK software, to simplify compliance issues and deliver enterprise-level active archive solutions for SMBs.

The WORM appliance, part of Imation’es scalable storage portfolio, weree showcased 6-10 March at CeBIT 2012 in Hanover, Germany.

"With data and information serving as a foundation for businesses, and with laws and regulations making it obligatory to store business-relevant data in changed and unchangeable forms, the WORM appliance presents an ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses facing compliancy challenges," stated Imation. "Written data can be read with the WORM appliance, but cannot be erased or altered within a preset lifespan. Unauthorized accesses are no longer possible with the WORM appliance."
 
The WORM appliance supports audit-proof archiving of business and medical data – including images and records – in accordance with compliance regulations. Archived data remains directly accessible for the user via the file system, but the stored data can no longer be changed. This method is for migrating data out of technologically obsolete archives.

"GRAU DATA AG is pleased to partner with Imation to address this compliancy need for SMBs," said Herbert Grau CEO of GRAU DATA. "Imation’s ability to offer best-of-breed scalable storage solutions to their customers and partners will provide excellent value to customers seeking a cost effective and open archiving solution."

The WORM appliance, which consists of Imation’s RDX A8 Hard Disk Storage Library and GRAU DATA’es FILELOCK software, is available at authorized Imation value-added resellers.
