Application Archiving: Organizing The Enterprise Application And Database
The technological growth and globalization in the business environment has seen an enormous amount of software applications being developed and used by the business houses and corporate sectors to gain a competitive edge. This brings to light the fact that with the use of applications, enormous amount of data is also been generated. Though data is the essence of every organization, an excess of this will directly effect working pace and performances of the applications as well as pressurise the IT resources.
A large portion of information in enterprise databases have been used and generated for key applications like CRM and ERP and corporate financials. With the growth in the business, these applications, like the data, which are no longer actively used, slows down the corporate networks and effects the performance of the other applications installed on the system. Enterprise Applications and Databases are designed to efficiently record and store the transactional history of the organization. Though not required on a regular basis, this unused application and data needs to be stored separately for reference, understanding trend analysis, supporting decision-making and compliance needs.
Most organizations, who witness such excessive data and application explosion, tend to spend the CapEx budget on costly Tier 1 storage systems. But this does not actually counter the problem, but only interferes with the performance of the applications installed, and effects data governance and application portfolio management. Hence it becomes quite apparent that similar to adopting database archiving solutions, these organizations should also archive software applications. Application archiving along with information lifecycle management, enables customers to manage data growth, and maintain access to the required data, increase application performance, reduce storage costs and enhance application lifecycle management.
The providers of data management solutions offer database archiving along with application archiving techniques with built-in innovative technology, leading to a number of benefits such as :
1. Enterprise Metadata Manager handles the metadata for all data kinds irrespective of the application and database platform
2. Designed for easy configuration on customized data architectures, as well as
3. Helps in simultaneous or transparent admission to archived data from local applications
4. Facilitates long term archiving as well as multiple archiving platforms consisting of Relational databases
5. It supports Oracle E-Business Suite Archiving
6. PeopleSoft Enterprise Applications Archiving
7. Siebel Archiving
8. BaaN Archiving

Handling various applications across the enterprise also brings in the need to implement data handling techniques such as test data management, data masking and application retirement. Enterprise Database Archiving facilitates organizations to implement consistent policies for managing, securing and storing data from a single console. This results in improved application performance and availability through smaller production database sizes, shorter backup and recovery times.
