Tarmin Technologies Announces GridBank 1.5

Tarmin Technologies, a provider of active archive, object-based storage, information lifecycle management (ILM), and storage software optimized for secondary tiered deployments, recently announced GridBank 1.5, currently in beta and planned for general availability in Q3.
GridBank 1.5 is designed to substantially lower an organization's storage and data management Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Among its new features are support for Microsoft SharePoint, 64-bit editions of GridBank for Linux and Windows Server 2008, e-discovery and search for storage resources outside of the GridBank environment, and a Web-based management console.
"GridBank 1.5's innovative design will completely alter the management paradigm for SharePoint", said Arun Taneja, founder and consulting analyst, Taneja Group. "Leveraging its robust encryption, enterprise-strength secure user access control, seamless SharePoint integration, and strong administrative capabilities, GridBank will ensure complete data security and data integrity for SharePoint deployments, while substantially lowering the costs of SharePoint. GridBank 1.5 extends Tarmin's industry leading position in the active archiving market with a solution that provides easy, online access to any kind of unstructured data."
GridBank 1.5 provides enhanced high-performance and high-availability at reduced TCO by automating storage and data management via a policy-based framework, providing effective long-term, fixed-content data preservation on considerably lower-cost secondary storage. GridBank 1.5 cuts capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX) by using cost-effective heterogeneous, industry-standard server and storage platforms to form a grid-based active archive for SharePoint and file-based environments that is scalable to petabytes (PB) of capacity (1PB is the equivalent of 20 million four-drawer filing cabinets full of text) and billions of files. GridBank 1.5 also helps meet regulatory and compliance needs; accelerates e-discovery, content search, and retrieval; and delivers transparent, secure access to SharePoint and file-based data.
Derek Kruger, IT and communications supervisor for the City of Safford in Arizona, deployed GridBank to gain greater control over their expenditures as well as ease electronic discovery and reduce their backup window. “GridBank has dramatically reduced my storage and IT labor costs. [The] product makes data and content management incredibly easy.”
GridBank 1.5 will be generally available in early Q3 of 2009 from Tarmin and its network of value added channel partners.
