StorageTek Buys Software Vendor: Page 2 of 2

The acquisition helps expand StorageTek's information lifecycle management strategy in three ways, Rief said.

First, the Storability software monitors storage usage -- finding excess capacity as well as too many copies of data that can be deleted to free up space.

Second, the software increases data backup reliability by monitoring the backup success rate of individual servers.

Finally, the software helps optimize long-term compliance and archive solutions, said Rief.
