Reconnex iGuard Appliance Receives EMC Corporation's "Designed For Documentum" Accreditation
Reconnex Delivers Customer-Proven, Accredited Solution that Brings Content Discovery for Critical Data-at-Rest and Broad Information Protection to Documentum Customers
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., October 16, 2006 - Reconnex, the experts in information protection, today announced that its iGuard appliance has received the EMC Corporation’s “Designed for Documentum” logo designation, a mark of quality and value that customers insist on in enterprise applications. The “Designed for Documentum” accreditation demonstrates that the iGuard appliance has successfully met a comprehensive set of criteria for good design, development, and implementation for offerings developed on the EMC Documentum Enterprise Content Management platform.
By working with Documentum, Reconnex expands its coverage for protecting private records and intellectual property stored in these repositories as data-at-rest. Customers increasingly need to protect their digital assets, and a key component of this strategy is first identifying known content on the network that needs to be protected. Even though 80 percent of the data in an enterprise is unstructured, Reconnex gives complete visibility into all of the content that represents risk.
The Reconnex iGuard Discover feature scans the Documentum repository and identifies content risks, takes action by fingerprinting this content with biometrics, and then uses Reconnex’s Monitor feature to gain visibility into network activity – across all ports and protocols – to take action on data-in-motion. Large enterprises increasingly find Reconnex’s information monitoring and protection capabilities are invaluable for protecting their brands and reputations, addressing compliance and regulatory requirements, and protecting and maintaining a competitive advantage.
Reconnex received design accreditation by joining the EMC Documentum Application Developer Program. As a member, Reconnex received specialized design consultation and guidance, along with access to dedicated EMC content management technical resources. Reconnex can use specialized “Designed for Documentum” logos on its packaging, marketing collateral, and other promotional materials pertaining to its accredited offering, signifying to customers that the iGuard appliance meets high standards for architectural compliance with the Documentum architecture and that it leverages development best practices.
"By providing the iGuard appliance as a packaged offering based on the EMC Documentum platform, Reconnex is taking a leadership position in the area of information monitoring and protection," said Rob Tarkoff, senior vice president of strategy, business development, and alliances, EMC Software Group. "The ‘Designed for Documentum’ status demonstrates Reconnex’s commitment to the Documentum platform and the quality of its offering."
"Reconnex expects to receive significant benefits from joining the EMC Documentum Application Developer Program and gaining “Designed for Documentum” status for the iGuard appliance," said Faizel Lakhani, vice president of marketing at Reconnex. "Chief among those benefits are product differentiation and increased customer awareness of the value of our iGuard appliance. We’re pleased to be teaming with EMC and look forward to bringing more high-value offerings to market."
The EMC Documentum Application Developer Program helps ISVs, VSPs, and SIs target, design, develop, and go to market with successful offerings based on the EMC Documentum platform.
