Business Wire, Nov 28, 2006

Smith and Skaljin Will Discuss the Anatomy of an Archiving Project

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Princeton Softech

Who:

Princeton Softech, the market leader in enterprise data management, today announced plans to co-present at the IDC Data Protection & Archiving Forum in December 2006 with Toronto-Dominion (TD) Bank, a leading financial group in Canada. TD Bank offers a full range of financial products and services to more than 14 million customers worldwide. Al Smith, executive vice president of development at Princeton Softech and Robert Skaljin, IT manager at TD Bank, will discuss the benefits of enterprise data management and database archiving.

Neither Smith nor Skaljin is a stranger to the challenges of data archiving. As the result of several mergers and the accumulation of years of historical application data, TD Bank implemented a proactive approach to enterprise data management. Princeton Softech Optim(TM) was an integral part of the implementation, including archiving capabilities to manage data growth, improve service levels and control storage costs. Optim supports TD Bank's data management program as well as the data protection and archiving projects of countless other companies.

The IDC Data Protection and Archiving Forum is designed to answer key questions about storing and retrieving content in today's business environment. The forum features end-user case studies that provide attendees with practical information on how to capitalize and learn from others on emerging best practices (criteria, policies, processes) for determining which data protection and/or archiving methods a firm should use. Attendees will hear best practices and technical information on the evaluation, deployment and consideration of different technology solutions to meet availability, performance, recovery and security requirements. Sessions will address business issues and implications of different technologies and capabilities for meeting budgetary, regulatory, business continuity, legal and disaster recovery requirements. The role of underlying technologies will be examined, including content-based classification, email, file and database archiving, continuous data protection, tape virtualization, snapshots and replication.

What:

Enterprise data management is a proven best practice that helps companies worldwide automate data retention, ensure business continuity and protect corporate information assets. What are the components of an enterprise-scale archiving project? What are the critical success factors? What decisions do sites need to make in order to successfully implement a full lifecycle data management strategy? How do companies benefit?
