Data Archiving with IBM's Optim tool

Optim, formerly a Princton Softech product for Data Archiving

Data growth in an application database can cause performance issues and increase costs. We've seen this at dozens of clients - many of whom have simply never archived their data. The familiar saying, "storage is cheap" doesn't take into consideration Gartner's estimate that every GB of storage costs $500/year to manage. That's why today's budget conscious companies are increasingly turning to tiered storage models to solve their data growth problems.

IBM� Optim� offers one of the leading data archiving solutions in its Optim product. Formerly a Princeton Softech product prior to its acquisition by IBM, Optim offers a cost effective, full data lifecycle, data management solution. IBM� Optim� addresses data growth issues at the source with proven archiving capabilities that enable PeopleSoft customers to segregate historical from current data and store it securely and cost-effectively.

As a PeopleSoft Systems Integrator for over 15 years, BTRG understands the data relationships embedded in your PeopleSoft Financials, HCM, CRM and SCM systems. We know that system issues are interrelated and that minor adjustments can produce significant performance improvements. As a result, BTRG provides low cost, high value Data Archiving, Performance Tuning, System Retirement, Data Privacy and Storage Solutions designed specifically for PeopleSoft customers.

Our data archiving solution leverages PeopleSoft and Optim� expertise while drawing upon pre-built integration and pre-defined archives compatible with PeopleSoft packages. Performance improvements will reduce data storage costs and improve the user experience. IBM Optim produces data archive files that are immutable, compressible and audit-ready. With IBM Optim and BTRG you will be able to archive data, yet retain the ability to access application data afterwards.
