Group 2000 to Deliver Data Retention Solutions Powered by RainStor
LONDON, March 23, 2010--
- Innovative System Integrator in the Telecommunications and
Internet Market Embeds RainStor in Lawful Interception, Data Retention and
ICT Services to Address EU Data Retention Directive
RainStor http://rainstor.com , an infrastructure software company that
provides the leading repository for historical structured data, today
announced a new partnership with Group 2000 to deliver data retention
solutions in the telecommunications market. Group 2000, an innovative company
delivering Network Forensics, Communication Services and ICT Services, will
embed RainStor within its LIMA Lawful Interception and Data Retention
products.
Group 2000 helps telecommunication service operators, Internet service
providers and governments solve communication and security issues in more
than 20 countries. LIMA is Group 2000's portfolio for lawful interception and
data retention products that provide reliable and cost-effective solutions
for all types of communication networks and data. The solutions can be set up
in a company's own network as a Corporate Data Retention solution or hosted
within an ASP model as a Managed Data Retention service.
"Under the EU Data Retention Directive, operators and ISP's across Europe
are facing laws that demand them to store the traffic data records of the
communications they handle for their customers," says Richard Coppens,
managing director of Group 2000. "The volume of data that these operators
will be expected to retain is also growing as they launch new services and IP
traffic increases. In response to these challenges, we've enhanced our data
retention solutions to help customers minimize the upfront investment and
ongoing operational costs of complying with these regulations. When we were
looking for a technology partner to support this effort, we found that
RainStor's extreme data compression, support for commodity hardware and ease
of maintenance made it an obvious choice as our underlying data management
platform."
Group 2000 is the latest independent software vendor (ISV) and system
integrator to join the "Powered by RainStor" partner program and embed
RainStor within its online data retentions solutions. "We continue to attract
ISVs looking for easier and more cost-effective ways to retain historical
data within their solutions," says Julian Cook, VP marketing and business
development at RainStor. "In the telecommunications industry many operators
are only just beginning to understand the cost and complexity of complying
with data retention mandates using traditional database and data warehouse
technologies. We're delighted that after an extensive evaluation of our
technology, Group 2000 is convinced that we lead the market in reducing the
hardware and resources required for information storage, retrieval and
handover. The combination of Group 2000's expertise in this area and our
pioneering technology will deliver real value to Group 2000 customers."
