ArchivePlus - Database Archive and Purge Utility Software

November 26, 2007

ArchivePlus, the Database Archive & Purge Utility Software, brought to you by Indusa, boosts performance across your enterprise database. Built to address the most demanding challenges of data growth, ArchivePlus solves your performance and compliance requirements with its archiving and purging technology.

Data Management forms the single most universal challenge that enterprises face. In terms of size alone it is predicted by analysts that the 3000% growth in data volumes (Gartner), which occurred between 1999 and 2004, is going to continue.

Database archiving addresses multiple issues in an enterprise, improving the performance and availability of live production databases, managing compliance related to data retention policies and preservation of database data as required. Database archiving migrates data from live production databases to database archives, while managing the integrity and accessibility of information in those archives.

Indusa designed ArchivePlus to meet this growing demand of data management. This tool gives you complete and streamlined control over your enterprise data. With user definable business rules, the software tool helps to make the production database environment faster and efficient by archiving selected data and moving it to a different location, retaining the capability of quick restore. It thus helps to keep the production database lean, while also enabling efficient data storage management.

The striking feature with ArchivePlus is that it enables any business user with an understanding of the enterprise database to build an archive definition without the need for programming. Moreover, the software can help generate multiple archive definitions according to various business rules and filter criteria and can use these definitions to conduct automated and managed archival operations as per predefined schedules. One can even extract selective data and can purge or archive the same. It securely relocates data from production database to the data archive eliminating unnecessary data duplication, using a simple query like interface to build archive/purge definitions. A complete audit trail is maintained to help ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

Often, multiple copies of the production databases are maintained (for standby, disaster recovery, test, development and so on). This magnifies the problem if archiving is not resorted to.
