FileNet join ranks of NetApp partners
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems provider FileNet have forged a global strategic alliance agreement with storage system provider Network Appliance.
The deal caps a busy week for NetApp in terms of partnership manoeuvres, with the vendor already having announced agreements with Veritas and Cisco. NetApp also staged a worldwide launch of a host of new storage products this week.
Under this latest agreement, FileNet and NetApp will co-ordinate marketing and development activities to integrate and optimise FileNet ECM systems with NetApp unified storage and information lifecycle management (ILM) systems.
Both companies are also working to ensure tight product integration, validation, and support for NetApp fabric-attached storage (FAS) systems, NearStore storage systems, and SnapLock data permanence storage solution within the FileNet P8 product line.
"Organisations using ECM to help manage the content and processes that drive their businesses need a secure means to store and preserve these critical assets that is low cost and based on industry standards," said James Rae, Managing Director, FileNet ANZ. "With the corporate and regulatory compliance mandates we see driving business today, it's important for our ECM customers to have support for secure protected storage technologies like the NetApp SnapLock software. These technologies can both lower the cost of ownership for customers' ECM and ILM implementations and provide greater support for compliance-mandated capabilities such as flexible retention periods and deletion prevention."
"Our expanded partnership with FileNet enables our enterprise customers to experience the two best-in-class solutions, and gives them the peace of mind that comes with a highly-available, reliable, and secure data management solution," said Mark Santora, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Network Appliance. "With Network Appliance disaster recovery and regulatory compliance storage solutions FileNet customers can maximise the creation, publication, and sharing of information through both its storage and business lifecycle - securely and reliably."
