What is the Archive Modernization Program (AMP)?

AMP is designed as an out of the box experience for existing archive customers or organizations that are thinking about implementing an archive strategy.  AMP provides the necessary components to completely modernize your existing archive infrastructure by leveraging or replacing the existing components in order to reduce complexity, increase manageability and greatly reduce your TCO for your application.

AMP includes the design and implementation services as well as the AutoPilot Performance Management Platform that will give your existing production system a dramatic boost in performance and eliminate all of the side effects of archiving.

     - Retire your "access" architecture and allow users to use their normal access methods
     - Eliminate upgrade and patch complexity
     - Dramatic boost in performance for the overall application
     - Create nearly instant Multi-Dimensional Subsets
     - Non-business impact reduction of storage
     - True tiered storage that does not impact the users
     - Fine grained control over backup and DR optimization

 

Why AMP?

The engineering and management team at TierData represent the founding fathers of ILM and database archiving as the original developers of OuterBay Technology in early 2000.  TierData was founded with the belief that there is a better way to manage performance and a simpler way to manage large data sets.  The reason many companies invested in archiving was to simply increase performance and make data management easier.  The side effects and complexity introduced by archiving prevented many companies from fully implementing an archiving strategy and many others to limit the implementations from being fully effective.  Heavy end user involvement elongated projects and the thought of deleting data created conservative data policies and reduced the business outcome of the project.  Many IT staffs find the implementation complex and inflexible.  Already stressed DBA's had more databases and infrastructure to support, deep analysis required for patch and upgrades, and performance issues in the archive that add to the workload.

TierData realized early on that there are many companies that have made an investment in traditional database archiving software and would like to take advantage of newer technologies that eliminate the side effects of archiving.  The AMP programs has been designed to coexist or replace the traditional archive solutions and allow companies to take advantage of the multi-dimensional data management capabilities of AutoPilot.

Expand your horizons.

Imagine telling your business unit leaders that you can give them fine grained access to only the data their teams need, dramatically boost performance, and save a ton of money...all without impacting any of their users ability to access, transact or change their existing processes.  That is what AutoPilot gives you.

Traditional archiving is all founded on one belief, data is either active or inactive.  If it is inactive based on many complex rules then it is safe to remove from production.  This is a great theory and has contributed to some major accomplishments in data management.  AutoPilot is a new generation of multi-dimensional data management platforms that allow you to take control of your data from a business perspective.  Active/Inactive, geography, year, month, org id, plant locations, anything you can think of.  We then automatically segment your data based on the business policies and data models over the entire application.  This creates an incredibly dynamic environment that has no effect on end users...except for dramatic performance gains.  Operations teams manage the data by dimensions, creating functional sub sets, tiering storage, and compressing data to reduce costs and hit critical SLA's. 

Our mission is simple, we make applications go faster and cost less.
