Acxiom® Unveils Market’s First Disaster Recovery Solution for Netezza
November 10 2008 - 2:19PM
Business Wire
Acxiom� Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM), a global leader in interactive
marketing services, today announced it has created the industry�s
first disaster recovery (DR) hosted solution for Netezza
appliances, made possible by the inclusion of EMC� CLARiiON�
storage arrays inside Netezza�s data warehouse. Netezza appliances
are fast becoming critical assets for companies that need large
amounts of data to run their business. Organizations cannot afford
to have their mission-critical data unavailable for several days
or, even more financially devastating, lost forever. Acxiom and
Netezza have mitigated these risks through a cost-competitive
solution developed as part of the strategic Acxiom-Netezza
alliance. The solution, called Acxiom Recovery-X� for Netezza, will
provide options for customers to receive a documented recovery
process that ensures availability of their business-critical data
assets in a secure, off-site location. The site is staffed by
trained recovery experts who also have expertise in Netezza
administration and operations. With a hosted services model, there
is no capital investment ? customers are responsible only for the
capacity needed to secure critical data assets and specific
recovery requirements in the event of a disaster. �Customers with
regulatory requirements will continue to put Netezza DR appliances
on site, but many customers will find the flexibility of having an
offsite DR system more cost effective, easier to manage and with a
superior level of data protection,� said Shawn Armbrister, Acxiom
product manager. �This product provides a DR service offering that
will fit existing budgets.� �We are thrilled to announce this
service offering,� said Marty Sunde, senior vice president of
Acxiom�s IT Services division. �A long-time cornerstone of Acxiom�s
strategic competency is protecting and processing extremely
data-intensive workloads. In creating this first-of-a-kind disaster
recovery solution, we extend the combined expertise of Acxiom, EMC
and Netezza into the market for the benefit of the growing list of
companies that are placing emphasis in this area.� �As a longtime
customer and partner of Netezza�s, Acxiom has first-hand experience
with the Netezza appliance�s high performance, low cost and ease of
use,� said Jim Baum, president and COO, Netezza. �With this
disaster recovery solution, Acxiom is leveraging their expertise as
a Tier 1 service provider to offer customers a fast, low-cost DR
option.� About Acxiom The global leader in interactive marketing
