Imation Comes Up With Its Own Secure Data Architecture
Data storage and security provider Imation, which continues to evolve far beyond its legacy tape storage business, on March 3 unveiled a home-developed Secure Data Movement Architecture to give enterprises a holistic approach to managing high-value data files throughout their lifecycles.
In other words, this SDMA software -- developed by Imation's Nexsan storage software arm -- enables individual users to manage their own business-related files while at the same time supporting an organization's control and management policies.
High-value data is defined as an organization's critical content that must be safeguarded from tampering, loss or corruption. Data files created by users, devices and sensors are being copied across multiple device types, including personal devices such as tablets and smart phones. Business data and personal files are, in fact, mixed into all of it. Imation believes that there haven't been any truly holistic approaches to separating or protecting all of it until now.
