Application Archiving

Data within business applications is growing explosively and uncontrollably. And yet more than 80% of data within application databases is never updated and is infrequently accessed. Despite the static nature of this inactive data, it must be retained and made accessible to satisfy regulatory or business requirements.

Relocate inactive data from production environments

In a climate of unremitting data growth it is becoming increasingly difficult and costly to manage the larger application databases and satisfy service level agreements (SLAs). This pressure can be relieved by relocating inactive data from production databases into archive stores, improving the performance and availability of the production environment. However, using another database or XML file as the archive store only increases the cost and complexity of the overall environment, or results in data being lost into a black hole.
