OVERVIEW

Given the recent emphasis on handling compliance for internal controls and business risks, the need for content archives that store electronic data (such as e-mails and contracts, public documents, and drawings) for long periods in a form that cannot be over-written is growing rapidly. The "Hitachi Content Archive Platform" — which is a storage appliance for content archiving — is an "appliance product" that unifies management-software-installed servers and storage in such a way as to allow customers to easily integrate it with existing systems. Featuring data-protection functions (such as prevention of falsification and premature deletion) and high-efficiency disk-utilization functions, the Hitachi Content Archive Platform integrates with ISV software (which has functions for automatically archiving data from middleware linked with various operation systems used in businesses), thereby providing archive solutions for e-mail data, ERP data, file data, and log data.
