has announced DigiLIBE, which it describes as a groundbreaking information management solution that solves fundamental problems associated with managing, controlling and quickly accessing unstructured data. DigiLIBE is a simple, integrated Virtual Corporate Library (VCL) system with policy-based applications to protect, control and secure data from its point of origin to final disposition.
The company has been in business since 2005, providing online data protection services. This is a completely new solution for them, and one which they hope will have a major impact on the data management market.
"This is a complete data management solution," said Ken Peters, Executive Vice President at Digitiliti. "We went back to the drawing board and architected this from the ground up, looking at the issue of how organizations all deal with unstructured data, and how we can best facilitate access to it."
The result, DigiLIBE, addresses information growth across all points of the organization including office files, email, images, primary, secondary, offsite, and active archives. As a single architecture comprised of three simple components -- information director, archive information store, and client agents -- DigiLIBE reduces the number of disparate IT products needed, and the complexity and costs involved with managing and supporting information growth.
"If we had used traditional architectures out there it would not have worked," Peters said. "File systems are too archaic. They are not geared for end user access of the data."
"When it comes to how data is stored, people tend to be stuck looking at the tree, and not the forest. If they've built all this infrastructure, are they going to go back to redevelop everything and reinvent it, or are they just going to try to find ways to make what they have more efficient. As a small company, we can reinvent the file."
By facilitating complete Meta Data capture and control at time of creation, and using global deduplication and data compression, DigiLIBE reduces storage volumes by as much as 75 percent. Content Indexing Files, emails and even attachments are indexed and made available at any time either through DigiLIBE's file explorer interface or custom information applications.
DigiLIBE's polices can be set to automatically trap key words in the contents of any file and email for compliance or customer satisfaction. Alerts are sent and links to the files and emails are presented in the Virtual File and Email Explorer. DigiLIBE also increases search productivity by as much as 50 percent and supercharges data mining from client to archive.
DigiLIBE offers full integration and syncing with active directory, LDAP or writing of custom policies for secure storage and access to files and emails Encryption Files are encrypted with 256K or 512K encryption schemes before and after transmission
DIGILIBE reduces storage costs and complexity while automatically protecting, moving and preserving critical data throughout its lifecycle, from cradle to grave. It also enables legal and compliance policies based on federal, state, and local guidelines, self-regulating organizations, international standards organizations, like SEC, SOX, BASEL-II, HIPAA, FDIC, and IRS
Peters said that DigiLIBE is complementary to the storage system themselves.
"It's complementary there, it doesn't take everything out. It rides on top of everything, on top of the architecture. Then they can repurpose drives for more important data. What it replaces is the add-ons like dedupe, encryption, and tape. We give people the ability not to buy a lot of extra solutions."
That makes things easy for their partners, who account for about 85 percent of Digitility's sales.
"They can go in and solve the customers' problems for them. They can present a message of a cost takeout proposition, or cost reduction, and also increase productivity."
Peters said a recently signed partner had a customer who had been recommended to buy a VTL system, and that now he can give the customer a solution for half the price that will manage the data from point of creation to the archives.
"VMware is doing well because they rethought their industry," Peters said. "People need to rethink file systems the same way. Even down to the hard drive, what a mess things are. People can't find their own files. Having to buy a lot of point solutions to deal with the issues doesn't solve the problem. It just proliferates it."
