Smart, efficient, and cost effective business solutions to manage enterprise data reduction initiatives


Improved performance, reduced storage costs for both production and dev/test environments, and faster refreshes of dev/test environments – these are just some of the benefits that comes from removing or Archiving non-critical data from the production transaction database. Performance Archiving also provides operational transparency to the end user where the archived data is still accessible in the same reports as before, even though the data resides in another database. What’s more, archiving also provides operational stability to the IT production support and capacity staff, where maintaining service SLAs and planning for future growth becomes more manageable and predictable. Once performance archiving is successfully implemented in one system, it provides the foundation and ROI on which to deploy to other systems where data growth and SLAs become increasingly unmanageable.
