Hitachi Data Systems Corporation announced that the Hitachi Content Archive Platform has achieved SAP certified integration designation. Through testing in the SAP Integration and Certification Center, the Hitachi Content Archive Platform has attained “Certified for SAP NetWeaver” designation for the information lifecycle management solution from SAP. Customers can now easily employ the Hitachi Content Archive Platform for use with the information lifecycle management solution from SAP to ensure end-to-end enforcement of data retention policies to better meet compliance requirements, while lowering operating costs.

In close alignment with its services oriented approach to storage, Hitachi Data Systems is providing the only multi-tier storage solution which allows customers to store and manage their active and archived data using a common and integrated platform that enables existing storage infrastructure and investments to be leveraged, and greatly reduces management and operational costs.

The WebDAV integration certification for the ILM solution from SAP, known as “ILM – WebDAV storage interface 2.0,” relies on a new capability of the SAP NetWeaver platform Release 7.0 to define archive and retention policies, apply legal hold, conduct e-discovery requests, and decommission legacy systems. This functionality enables data to be passed to an intelligent, “ILM-aware” tier of archive storage via the open-standard WebDav for SAP Data Archiving interface.

Unlike other solutions which have a proprietary interface and require a third-party connector, the Hitachi Content Archive Platform integrates support for open standard protocols which makes integration for partners.
