IBM Information Archive
Secure, scalable, cost-effective information retention solution.
IBM Information Archive is the next-generation information retention solution designed as a universal archiv-
ing repository for all types of content to help midsize and enterprise clients reduce cost, manage risk and
address clients complete information retention needs—business, legal, or regulatory.
This highly versatile, Smart Business System can help minimize your business risk and support regulatory
compliance by providing a secure and protected storage repository.
The IBM Information Archive can help reduce the need and expense for primary storage by enabling
archiving applications to move less-active but business vital information off the primary storage tier to cost-
effective and scalable “archive” storage tier, to help reduce information infrastructure costs immediately.
In addition, the IBM Information Archive enforces policies across a single repository that may combine both
disk and multiple tape systems that scale to petabytes in size. This combination can provide exceptionally
low overall cost of ownership.
