Network Appliance Certifies DocuWare 5.1 for SnapLock Technology

High Performance with Low TCO

Network Appliance and DocuWare are cooperating. As part of this partnership, the specialist for Unified Storage Solutions has certified the seamless integration of the document management system with NetApp SnapLock storage technology.

Companies are increasingly confronted with strict legal regulations regarding the storage of documents. One possibility to archive, for example, documents, e-mail and files over many years is provided with optical media like CD and DVD. Another route is offered by storage specialist Network Appliance and its SnapLock technology which generates WORM volumes on hard disks. With DocuWare 5.1 and NetApp SnapLock, users have a low-cost solution for the long-term storage of critical company data. It combines the advantages of document management such as the archiving of all kinds of documents from a variety of sources in one central document pool with the high access speed provided by a hard disk, further enhanced by the security of a WORM medium.

Easily meeting Compliance Rules  

Retaining and securing data for audit and compliance regulations have become necessary parts of business operations around the world. The ability to secure that data and find it again in seconds is critical to protecting information assets, achieving regulatory compliance, and meeting eDiscovery requests, said Patrick Rogers, vice president of Solutions Marketing at NetApp. DocuWare eases the task of pooling and managing all document types. This certification means customers will benefit from saving time, administration, and infrastructure expenses with the confidence that their data is tamper-proof.

Stefan Schindler, Director of DocuWare Limited welcomes the partnership: For many customers, the seamless integration of a Document Management Solution within other products is an important purchasing criteria. The certification of DocuWare 5.1 by Network Appliance underscores once again the integration abilities of this integrated document management software.
