"Clearpace has invented many innovative and patent protected techniques for storing, managing and retrieving archived data efficiently. Our pattern database technology exhibits many of the attributes of columnar databases but has been designed specifically to support archiving requirements. The mechanisms we use to compress and time-proof data while supporting immutable media are quite simply, unique."

NParchive 2.5 Fact Sheet |
|
| NParchive is the optimal archive store for historical structured data. The NParchive software uses sophisticated pattern deduplication techniques to deliver extreme compression of RDBMS, XML and log file data, enabling up to 60x more information to be stored on existing infrastructure. These levels of data compression are achieved without compromising accessibility as NParchive supports query using SQL, eliminating the need to ever restore or re‐inflate the data. In addition, NParchive requires no design or tuning, and minimal ongoing maintenance. This fact sheet describes the specific features, capabilities and benefits of Clearpace NParchive 2.5. |

"Optimal Archive Stores" presentation from UKOUG Archive and Purge special event |
|
| Database archiving has traditionally focused on how to assess, classify and extract data from production environments. Determining the most appropriate repository for historical data has until recently been a secondary consideration, with "another" database and XML files being the default position. While existing database archiving and ILM solutions undoubtedly improve application performance and manageability, real hard business and IT benefits can be realised through selecting the right archive store. This presentation from the UKOUG "Archive and Purge" special event discusses the compression, accessibility, time-proofing and immutability characteristics that should be available in any archive store. |
