Seven10 And Attune Announce Partnership To Deliver Integrated Cradle To Grave Data Management

Lawrence, Mass. and Santa Clara, CA – May 19, 2008 – Seven Ten Storage Software, Inc., the foremost provider of virtual access software for centralized management of enterprise archives, and Attune Systems, Inc., the leader in file management solutions, announced a strategic alliance to provide customers of all sizes with the most comprehensive file management and archive solution which reduces back-ups while addressing compliance and corporate governance requirements.

The certification and interoperability between virtualization technologies of files, NAS and archive marks the first such solution that offers management of data from creation to deletion.

“The simplicity and robustness of this combined solution will have immediate impact on the enterprise,” states Taneja Group analyst Jeff Boles. “We are talking about delivering infinitely scalable file servers with a content aware enterprise archive framework giving the end user the ability to move and shape that storage with permanence and independence from the evolution of one vendor solution or another.”

Through the alliance, organizations overflowing with content will now have a proven management solution that will provide a detailed audit trail of data across any and all storage technologies. The joint offering also enables corporations to measurably reduce cost while improving availability, scale and security. The flexibility provided with an open Windows based platform will allow customers to grow infrastructure without boundaries and without complexity.

Attune Systems Maestro File Manager will seamlessly identify the magnitude of the file archival opportunity for Seven10’s StorFirst EAS through the Maestro discovery reporting tool and enable the gradual file migration to StorFirst EAS without impact to end users. Once ingested into Seven10 the data is routed to the appropriate underlying storage infrastructure to deliver users a comprehensive, integrated solution that addresses the entire information lifecycle management process.

“We are excited to team with the leader in Windows-based file virtualization, and believe the technologies are a natural match to solve the enormous data management problems that afflict the enterprise” said Bobby Moulton, President of Seven Ten Storage Software, Inc. “This is a landmark partnership that will create a sea change in the way CIO’s and IT managers go about growing their storage infrastructure – removing several layers of complexity and providing economic freedom that will enable organizations to advance storage plans without being tied to a specific hardware agenda.”

“Companies are struggling with the exponential growth of their Windows file-based information and the demands from regulations and corporate governance. Having a comprehensive file management solution to meet compliance, archival and retention requirements is critical,” said Alan Kessler, CEO of Attune Systems. “Seven10 is the market leader delivering intelligent data management solutions and we are excited to extend our patented file virtualization capabilities to cover fixed content storage environments and the related solutions offered by Seven10 to our joint customers.”
