Press Release
FaceTime IMAuditor™ Integrates with EMC Centera for Storage of Instant Messages
Integrated Offering Centrally Stores and Provides Consistent Reports for IM, Email, Digital Imaging and Other Data Sources
NETWORLD+INTEROP 2004, Booth #123, Las Vegas, Nev.-May 10, 2004-Furthering its leadership as the world's largest provider of solutions that secure, manage, and extend instant messaging (IM) and other forms of real-time communications in the enterprise, FaceTime Communications today announced from the Networld+Interop conference in Las Vegas that it has completed the integration of its industry-leading
IMAuditor with EMC Centera content addressed storage (CAS) system.
EMC Centera represents an entirely new software-driven storage architecture specifically designed to address the unique information storage requirements of fixed, "unstructured" content such as IM, email and digital imaging. The award-winning
IMAuditor has been deployed by more than 250 leading finance, energy, healthcare and other regulated organizations to ensure their instant messaging adheres to the latest regulations governing electronic communications within the enterprise. This completed integration helps customers meet such regulations as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in addition to those handed down by the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), New York Stock Exchange, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
The FaceTime and EMC Centera integration lets customers store and report on archived IM and other content from a single control point. FaceTime
IMAuditor captures IM and other traffic, providing workflow, review and other capabilities required for regulatory compliance and best business practices. The captured traffic is then directly transferred to EMC's best-of-breed storage and archiving system, Centera, providing customers with the ease of storing IM, email, digital imaging and other traffic in the same system.
"FaceTime IMAuditor continues to lead the industry in enabling the safe embrace of instant messaging in the enterprise," said FaceTime Senior Vice President of Business Development and Marketing, Christopher Dean. "By combining
IMAuditor with EMC's powerful data storage management solution, customers can control and directly transfer real-time communications into Centera for secure, cost effective archival and storage."
"As the world's first content addressed storage solution, Centera addresses the unique requirements of Fixed Content," said Roy Sanford, vice president Content Addressed Storage at EMC. "By integrating with Centera, FaceTime extends superior storage and archiving capabilities to its customers deploying its FaceTime
IMAuditor package."
Once relegated to tape archives, optical disks, or file cabinets, Fixed Content is now being driven online, fueled by regulatory requirements, digitization of industries such as financial services, energy, healthcare services, medical technology and pharmaceuticals, insurance, and professional services in addition to government, and the desire to leverage this content into new services and revenue streams. Whether they're electronic business documents, X-Rays or check images, all types of Fixed Content have three common attributes: long-term value to an organization, the need to remain unchanged, and increased value through fast access with assured content integrity. EMC Centera network-based storage solution is designed to deliver all three while economically scaling from multiple terabyte to petabyte-sized environments.
