Reseller 2e2 will integrate software from new vendor partner Clearpace into its existing portfolio of HP database archiving products.

2e2 will focus on aiding customers to reduce the complexity and cost of storing historical data in Oracle applications. The VAR will integrate Clearpace's NParchive with software from long-standing vendor partner HP. 2e2 claim the integrated offering will allow inactive Oracle data to be relocated to highly compressed but accessible archives.

The Newbury based reseller also indicated the product suite would help customers upgrading to new Oracle applications by allowing them to store and manage data from decommissioned legacy systems. 2e2 claims this will allow customers to eradicate application maintenance fees, lower storage costs and do away with the need to maintain infrastructure museums.

2e2's managing director of business applications David Kirby said: “We have seen a sharp increase in application database growth among our customers over the past few years, coupled with an awareness that all data, including database data, must be retained for longer periods for legal, regulatory and internal audit reasons.

"As a result, we proactively encourage our customers to review their current data retention and archiving procedures so they are compliant, while also driving storage and operational cost reductions in the process. We have become very familiar with the HP Database Archiving product, and the complimentary data compression, time-proofing and immutability capabilities that NParchive provides, allow us to achieve all these objectives for the customer.”

Clearpace chief executive John Bantleman added: “It was important for us to partner with an experienced IT services provider such as 2e2, who have the vision and expertise to deliver integrated solutions to market. Many companies have reached an inflexion point where they are generating more data than they can economically manage.

"These companies are looking for advice and guidance from trusted partners such as 2e2, to help them overcome the burden of long term data retention. In particular, 2e2’s Oracle expertise will allow them to become the service provider of choice for addressing the issues associated with large and growing Oracle applications.”
