The rapid growth of electronic fixed content, where data is written once and never altered, along with the business practices and regulatory compliance rulings around the retention and protection of information, are forcing organizations to rethink the way they address long-term information management.

　　Businesses are now required to retain and quickly retrieve fixed content, and demonstrate it has not been altered or accessed by anyone other than an authorized user, in order to comply with laws and regulations mandating records retention. On occasion, these records may defend a company in the event of an audit, investigation, or lawsuit. As a result, the ability to demonstrate the integrity of the records is imperative.

　　The Sun StorageTek Compliance Archiving Software was designed in consultation with information management compliance and enterprise content management industry experts, to help address the most stringent requirements for electronic storage media retention and protection.

　　The Sun StorageTek Compliance Archiving System couples the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Appliance with the Sun StorageTek Compliance Archiving Software to provide compliance-enabling features for authenticity, integrity, ready access, and security.
