Signiant releases ActiveArchiver Signiant Inc. launches ActiveArchiver, a customizable metadata search tool that allows users to retrieve files, groups of files or the entire archive, using "human definable" business terms, such as project name, customer or other keywords.
The active data archive process is automated through a Web-based central control module. Users define the archive content, which may reside in multiple systems in development centers distributed around the globe, and then ActiveArchiver aggregates the selected files to the selected archive repository. Preprocessing can be performed as desired, such as organizing or compressing the files. The user also defines retention policies and access rights. Once files are moved to the active archive repository and verified for accuracy and completeness, they can be automatically removed from the source, freeing up primary storage space for future design projects.Maxell ships LTO-3 tape with WORM support Maxell Corp. announced that it is now shipping LTO Ultrium 3 tape media featuring a write once, read many functionality.
