FileTek and KVS Partner to Provide Enterprise-Level E-Mail Archives - StorHouse^® and Enterprise Vault^® Combination OffersHighly Scalable and Relationally Accessible E-mail Storage    

Orlando, FL (October 1, 2001) – FileTek, Inc., a data storage and data access systems provider, today announced that it has signed a technology partnership and marketing agreement with kVault Software Inc. (KVS), an enterprise e-mail management systems software company.  The announcement was made at the Microsoft Exchange Conference (MEC 2001) in Orlando, where both companies are exhibiting.    

This agreement, which covers all North American markets, makes it possible for KVS Enterprise Vault^® users to manage extremely large on-line archives, capable of retaining billions of e-mails.  Coupling FileTek’s StorHouse^®  highly-scalable storage management system with Enterprise Vault provides for easy and reliable access of e-mail content spanning many years and potentially 100s of terabytes.  Other technology benefits include: compliance with regulatory standards (such as SEC rule 17a), text-based “find” retrievals, relational access to sets of archived e-mails, data-duplexing, data assurance and disaster recovery options. FileTek’s scaling features ensure that no degradation in access performance will occur as the archive expands.

 “This is a very important and positive step for FileTek as it offers products to help the growing e-mail storage challenge many companies and civic organizations face,” said Dave Daughters, FileTek’s Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “KVS Enterprise Vault is an excellent product for e-mail storage and access, and when combined with StorHouse, users will benefit from an unprecedented archiving and retrieval solution.  We very much look forward to working with KVS to help our current and future customers.”

 “As companies look to reduce the load of ever-growing volumes of messages plaguing Exchange systems, it’s important that they have a compatible, comprehensive means to manage and store unstructured information,” said Mary Kay Roberto, Vice President of North American Operations, KVS, Inc.  “By combining our expertise in e-mail archiving with FileTek’s storage offerings, customers will reap the benefits of reduced cost and world-class long-term e-mail management that can scale with rapidly increasing information needs.”

FileTek’s flagship product, StorHouse^®, permits access to row-level data stored across all storage media (e.g., tape, optical, magnetic disk).  It transparently integrates with the most popular databases, such as Oracle^®, DB2 UDB^™, and SQL Server^™, and supports industry-standard gateways and data access methods.
