NETWORLD+INTEROP 2004, Booth #123, Las Vegas, Nev.-May 10,
2004-Furthering its leadership as the world's largest provider of
solutions that secure, manage, and extend instant messaging (IM)
and other forms of real-time communications in the enterprise,
FaceTime Communications today announced from the Networld+Interop
conference in Las Vegas that it has completed the integration of
its industry-leading IMAuditor with EMC Centera content addressed
storage (CAS) system. EMC Centera represents an entirely new
software-driven storage architecture specifically designed to
address the unique information storage requirements of fixed,
"unstructured" content such as IM, email and digital imaging. The
award-winning IMAuditor has been deployed by more than 250 leading
finance, energy, healthcare and other regulated organizations to
ensure their instant messaging adheres to the latest regulations
governing electronic communications within the enterprise. This
completed integration helps customers meet such regulations as the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) in addition to those handed down by the
Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), National Association of
Securities Dealers (NASD), New York Stock Exchange, and Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The FaceTime and EMC Centera
integration lets customers store and report on archived IM and
other content from a single control point. FaceTime IMAuditor
captures IM and other traffic, providing workflow, review and other
capabilities required for regulatory compliance and best business
practices. The captured traffic is then directly transferred to
EMC's best-of-breed storage and archiving system, Centera,
providing customers with the ease of storing IM, email, digital
imaging and other traffic in the same system. "FaceTime IMAuditor
continues to lead the industry in enabling the safe embrace of
instant messaging in the enterprise," said FaceTime Senior Vice
President of Business Development and Marketing, Christopher Dean.
"By combining IMAuditor with EMC's powerful data storage management
solution, customers can control and directly transfer real-time
communications into Centera for secure, cost effective archival and
storage." "As the world's first content addressed storage solution,
Centera addresses the unique requirements of Fixed Content," said
Roy Sanford, vice president Content Addressed Storage at EMC. "By
integrating with Centera, FaceTime extends superior storage and
archiving capabilities to its customers deploying its FaceTime
IMAuditor package." Once relegated to tape archives, optical disks,
or file cabinets, Fixed Content is now being driven online, fueled
by regulatory requirements, digitization of industries such as
financial services, energy, healthcare services, medical technology
and pharmaceuticals, insurance, and professional services in
addition to government, and the desire to leverage this content
into new services and revenue streams. Whether they're electronic
business documents, X-Rays or check images, all types of Fixed
Content have three common attributes: long-term value to an
organization, the need to remain unchanged, and increased value
through fast access with assured content integrity. EMC Centera
network-based storage solution is designed to deliver all three
while economically scaling from multiple terabyte to petabyte-sized
environments. About EMC
