IBM InfoSphere Optim Description
Organizations can support their business goals by managing data well over its life span. Decommissioned applications and historical transaction records can be archived. However, you will still have access to the data for queries and reporting. You can scale data across applications, operating systems, and hardware platforms to improve security, speed up release cycles, and reduce costs. Data archiving is critical to the performance of mission-critical enterprise systems. Reduce data growth issues at the source, increase efficiency, and minimize the risks associated managing structured data throughout its life. Unstructured data can be protected in the testing, development, and analytics environments throughout an enterprise.
