IBM System Storage

What is the best archive storage medium

Longevity of medium is not dominating factor– Logical and physical migration is inevitable

►Logical migration: applications, DMS, format

►Physical migration: platforms, networks, storage

Criteria for storage media selection– Operating cost, data access time, interface protocol, compliance

Introduction to archiving solutions

Archiving intelligence comes from archive management (ECM)

Type of archive storage depends on ECM capability

– interface between ECM and storage

Archive storage can provide value added functions

– Compliance, protection, tiered storage, deduplication, etc…

There is not single archiving solution which archives data of all data sources– Interfaces and processes are different based on the type of data

IBM System Storage

E-Mail archiving solution

Two capturing modes:

– Journaling - All emails are archived directly from the server

►Mails are copied, no space management

– Mailbox management - Mails are archived from mailbox

►Based on rules such as folder name, size, age, …►Mails can be moved to provide space management

ECM functions

– Indexing & search

– Deduplication / single instance

Storage functions

– Data protection and retention

– Tiered storage for cost efficiency

IBM System Storage

Introduction to archive storage options

Archive storage complements archiving solution– Key functionality such as capturing, indexing, search, access and management

comes from the ECM application

Archive storage provides values added functions– Retention protection, compliance– Disaster protection– Storage management functions (tiered storage)– Indexing and search– Data reduction (compression, deduplication)

Type of archive storage depends on requirements– Especially compliance makes the difference



IBM System Storage

What does compliance mean?

To comply to laws and regulations– Laws are usually mandatory– Regulations usually reference laws and standards– Regulations and laws vary by countries and branches

There are common laws and regulations in most countries– Trade, tax, stock exchange, zivil law– Apply to almost all companies and enterprises

Requirements for archive storage are often less detailed– Preventing delete and modification makes common sense

“Certificates” document assessment for compliance– Usually not required by authorities– But help customers to manage the compliance risks



IBM System Storage

Common compliance requirements

Kind of data to be preserved

Data Retention periods

„Write Once Read Many“ protection– No deletion or modification of data during retention time

Proof of completeness and authenticity

Data access for auditing authorities during retention period

Data and system protection (logical and physical)

Deletion after expiration

compliance must be assured for the entire archive system

IBM Filenet P8 – non IBM storage options

IBM Filenet P8 natively supports EMC Centera and Netapp Snaplock Limitations

– No integrated backup to tape– No integrated migration to tape (tiered storage)– Performance is questionable

Why recommending IBM storage– Best integration provided by IBM hardware and software– Optimal support by IBM



IBM System Storage

Summary

Key decision criterion for storage system is compliance– Compliance of storage system alone does not satisfy general compliance requirement

IBM can provide all components for archiving solutions– Software, hardware and services

Integration of IBM ECM and storage is most efficient– Customer gets support from one prime vendor
