COMPLIANCE STORAGE

EFFICIENT ONLINE ACCESS

LONG-TERM RETENTION
Solution Description
Challenge
Business-critical data is the foundation for many parts of a company’s operations including finance, sales, marketing, and engineering. Ensuring that this data is protected for a long period of time and continues to be easily accessible is a key requirement for IT organizations.
As required by internal governance policies and regulatory compliance standards (such as Security and Exchange Commission for 17a-4 Records (SEC17a-4), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), IT organizations need to ensure that critical business records—files and email—are retained and unaltered for specific periods of time.
Technology Solution
By deploying EMC Data Domain Retention Lock software on EMC Data Domain deduplication storage systems, IT organizations can leverage this industry-leading deduplication storage system to efficiently store and manage backup and archive data. Data Domain Retention Lock ensures that archive data stored on a Data Domain system meets secure data retention requirements driven by governance policies or strict regulatory compliance standards.
Data Domain Retention Lock software leverages industry-standard management protocols such as NFS and CIFS for time-based retention of files. As a result, it can be integrated seamlessly with industry-leading file archiving and email archiving applications such as EMC SourceOne and Symantec Enterprise Vault, providing an end-to-end archiving solution.
Results
- Meets the compliance requirements of U.S. and international standards
- Efficiently locates both backup and archive data on the same Data Domain system
