SAN JOSE, Calif., June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Overland-Tandberg™, a data protection and storage archive brand that unifies the strengths of Tandberg Data and Overland Storage, is pleased to announce that the WORM (Write Once Read Many) feature of their rdx®LOCK software has been certified by KMPG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, one of the leading providers of audit, tax, and advisory services in Germany. rdxLOCK’s WORM feature is also ideal to meet all the needs of current and upcoming compliance rules such as the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By providing offline cartridges for archiving, RDX solutions continue to play a key role in security and disaster recovery.
Highly regulated industries such as financial, healthcare, technology and others, must satisfy stringent data requirements to maintain compliance within their respective sectors. These companies are required to archive their business data for extended periods of time. Case studies for financial data can be required up to 10 years; healthcare data can be 7 years and many additional government institutions are required to keep their data even longer to satisfy an audit event, malpractice law suit, or other situations where historical data is critically important. During the storage lifecycle period, companies must not only have a copy of the data, but must ensure the stored data is maintained in its original form to satisfy business content authentication. The WORM functionality has been established to meet these regulatory requirements, as it prevents content manipulation of existing data in any form whatsoever.
“Small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) are consistently looking for an affordable solution for compliance archiving,” said Hugo Bergmann, Product Line Director for the RDX Business. “Since our inception, RDX technology has been the standard for backup, data exchange and archiving with off-site storage. By adding the certification of the WORM functionality to our rdxLOCK software, SMBs can receive high performance reliability and trust in an easy to use and integrated storage device which exceeds their compliance requirements while mitigating budget constraints and our client feedback has been met with overwhelming excitement about the accretive value from this new solution”
