Marketing description

HPE Application Information Optimizer helps to control the growth of mission-critical databases by automating the migration or retirement of data while preserving its business value and meeting the desired access requirements. Data can be relocated to a separate, online database for fast, transparent access, or to standards-based XML or CSV documents for long-term retention based on retention rules and policies that align with your business. HPE Application Information Optimizer includes an integrated set of components that facilitate design, deployment, and ongoing management of archiving processes throughout the lifecycle of applications and data.

Product features

• Database-to-database archiving for faster data access and lower costs
  Database-to-database archiving gives users the option to relocate data from production databases to a secondary, online archive database, hence enabling them to archive data in its original database format. Reduction in the size of primary databases has a two-fold effect. First, it accelerates end users' access to production data dramatically and still provides transparent access to the archived data. Second, as it does not require additional database design skills or storage technologies, it takes advantage of in-house database administrator skills.
• Database-to-file archiving for long-term compliance and standards-based data access
  Database-to-file archiving gives users the option to archive data from the production or archive databases to an industry-standard XML or CSV format. Such automatic migration of data to XML/CSV documents helps achieve database and application independence, and offers long-term viability of your archive, while complying with industry-specific regulations that require data to survive longer than the originating applications. Furthermore, this option encapsulates all relevant reference data with the transaction to make sure that the archive can "stand alone".
• Visual design tool for rapid support of third-party, custom and in-house applications
  The Designer, a standard component included with the HPE Application Information Optimizer license - provides a rich graphical interface for modeling application transactions and creating archive policies that extend archiving support to your third-party and custom applications. The Designer makes it possible for your business analysts and domain experts to focus on business-specific archiving rules, instead of highly-specialized coding techniques. This simplifies the development and testing process. Designer is integrated with the HPE Application Information Optimizer software run-time environment for easy deployment and maintenance.
• Scalability and security to handle the largest, most complex database applications
  Easy to configure, the HPE Application Information Optimizer software helps meet business requirements and unique characteristics of large-scale database environments, all the while handling massive data volumes with integrity. Production and archived data are kept in a consistent state because data is either archived as complete business transactions or not archived at all. With retention policies being enforced for the first time means that the initial archiving runs can involve a huge amount of data. Standard archive jobs can be run for ongoing operations. Encrypted passwords and detailed audit trails provide security for archiving operations support.
• Robust run-time environment and native database integration to simplify operations, increase archiving performance, and reduce maintenance
  HPE Application Information Optimizer is certified for multiple open system databases and is designed to leverage vendor-specific database capabilities. This native API and deep integration approach makes sure that once the archiving modules are designed and implemented, you can run them on a regular basis - monthly or quarterly - to fully maintain your databases, and monitor your archiving jobs just like any other data center task. Each archiving operation is launched as a single job; in the event of an error the job engine handles all recovery tasks and re-launching of the job as required.
