Rockville, MD – June 11, 2009 – FileTek announced today that Network Products Guide, industry’s leading publication on information technologies and solutions has named StorHouse/RM, a winner of the 2009 Best Products and Services Award in the Database Management category.

It is a prime example of our commitment to meet customer needs with best products and services.”About StorHouse/RM
StorHouse/RM works in conjunction with the FileTek StorHouse® data management and digital preservation system specifically designed to administer massive amounts of structured and unstructured fixed content; near-line, historical and persistent archive data; and their associated backup and disaster recovery requirements. The StorHouse technology suite combines industry-leading, scalable storage devices and Open System processors with storage management, relational database management, and file system interface software components. No application program interfaces (APIs) are required.
The StorHouse/RM approach to relational data management is unique and flexible by design. It provides a more dynamic and efficient database extension strategy than classic hierarchical storage management (HSM) products, which typically store offloaded historical data offline. With HSMs, any access to offline data requires retrieving targeted data from the HSM system, moving it back to the relational database server, and then reloading it into the relational database – all before a query can be executed. With StorHouse/RM, no reloading of data is necessary. Users or applications can submit a single query to access information in both their operational database and StorHouse/RM at any time.
In addition, StorHouse/RM can be used as a centralized data store for information from more than one data source. For example, once loaded into StorHouse/RM, relational data becomes available to any application that can pass SQL-based queries to StorHouse/RM databases. This means that Oracle data offloaded to StorHouse/RM can be used in conjunction with offloaded DB2 or SQL Server data without the need to maintain multiple copies in different database formats.
