Technology sector companies typically generate and manage large amounts of data from disparate sources: EMail/ECM systems, technical & marketing documentation, engineering development, intellectual property, contracts, and so on. Data from these different sources typically have very different ILMs, fall under different regulatory compliance regulations, and so have very different management requirements.

KOM Networks™ has a long-standing and extensive presence in the technology sector helping organizations to cost-effectively secure and manage over extended periods of time the ever-increasing amounts of fixed-content data produced by various enterprise applications.

Important KOMpliance Features Include

• Adaptive Information Lifecycle Management – A sound Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) strategy is critical for optimizing resource utilization, streamlining management, maintaining compliance, and lowering costs.
• Dynamic Capacity Management – Ensures optimized use of data storage resources.
• Ensure Regulatory Compliance with OSHA, ISO 9000, and other quality and regulatory requirements.
• Extend DMS/ECM Archive Applications – Most applications in use today don't meet current regulations for archiving, including data retention. However, it may not be necessary to modify or replace these applications to comply with regulations. In most cases, deficiencies can be addressed by adding KOMpliance™ as the archive storage repository.
• Archiving to e-WORM – Our e-WORM technology provides HDD access-times to fixed-retention period and archived data while ensuring absolute protection from all changes or deletions.
• e-WORM++ File Replication - e-WORM ++ can be implemented as part of a comprehensive Disaster Recovery strategy, automatically replicating files to one or more on- or off-site locations.
• Data shredding can securely dispose of files once their retention periods have expired, ensuring that information cannot be misused.
• AES-256 encryption enhances the privacy of data at rest.
• SHA-256 hashing system ensures non-repudiation of data by making sure file contents have not changed over time as retention data are migrated from one media to another.

KOMpliance's flexibility, scalability, security and ease of use make it ideally suited to companies operating in today's rapidly changing environment.
