The agreement includes OTG’s software solutions for long-term archival and accessibility of files, data warehouses and very large Oracle databases on Compaq AlphaServer systems running Tru64 UNIX with support for the Compaq StorageWorks TL895 and ES9326SL Enterprise Libraries.
Compaq’s CustomSystems & Solutions group will be the focal point for sales of the OTG software solutions. CustomSystems works in conjunction with the Compaq sales force to meet specialized needs for major clients. With this agreement, CustomSystems will be focusing on clients with very high-end storage needs. OTG’s software solutions will enable Compaq to provide complete system solutions to enterprises that require constant access to vast quantities of historical data, while reducing the cost of managing such data by utilizing a wide variety of secondary storage devices.
Compaq’s HPTC customer base is ideally suited for our large-scale storage data management solutions, said Richard Kay, president and CEO, OTG Software. These customers need scalable performance, with transparent access to huge file systems and databases that range from terabytes to petabytes in size.
The OTG products covered by the agreement include DiskXtender File System Edition for Unix, DiskXtender Distributed Solutions Suite and DiskXtender Database Edition. These OTG products operate under Compaq AlphaServer technology using Tru64 UNIX as well as Compaq Intel technology using Linux. Compaq’s HPTC customer base has requirements to maintain and access enormous quantities of historical data that, traditionally, have been sent to off-line storage media, according to Rich Marcello, vice president and general manager of Compaq’s High Performance Systems Division. OTG’s storage and database management solutions will enable our customers to keep this data online where it is most accessible in a very cost effective manner.
