CYA SmartRecovery is designed to protect enterprises against partial data loss due to malfeasance, metadata corruption, and human and programmatic errors, which collectively cause more than 80 percent of all data loss* – significantly more than natural disasters or full system failures. When an incident of partial information loss is realized, CYA SmartRecovery locates and recovers content such as documents, records, and folders with its original, complex metadata (i.e. annotations, workflows and audit trails) back into the repository in its original state, ensuring complete object-level integrity.
“CYA SmartRecovery adds significant value to traditional methods of protecting data within ECM systems by providing discrete object-level recovery with complete metadata integrity,” stated Lauren Whitehouse, analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “CYA SmartRecovery’s ability to incrementally capture the entire contents of the ECM repository and store it on disk effectively reduces the data loss window to within 15 minutes, and accelerates information recovery without disrupting ongoing business operations.”
CYA SmartRecovery’s primary benefits for FileNet P8 deployments are:
- Live Capture: CYA SmartRecovery automatically captures incremental changes in the object store as frequently as every 15 minutes without any application or system downtime.
- Preservation: Using IntelliCapture™ technology, CYA SmartRecovery checks to ensure integrity between content and its metadata, and proactively flags inconsistencies to the administrator.
- Recoverability: CYA SmartRecovery recovers objects back to their last “original” state within the FileNet P8 object store without any system or application downtime.
- Reduction of Data Loss Window: CYA SmartRecovery supports disaster recovery solutions such as IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, EMC NetWorker and Symantec Veritas NetBackup with time-based recovery functionality. This allows organizations to recover to a specific point in time, minimizing the data loss window within the ECM object store.
Traditional enterprise disaster recovery practices fail to address the need for information integrity and discrete recoverability, which is driven by regulatory mandates by the Securities and Exchange Commission, COOP, Sarbanes-Oxley and the new eDiscovery rules amendment that went into effect December, 2006. Typical disaster recovery strategies require companies to perform weekly cold or offline backups of their entire system infrastructure to protect the applications and information stored throughout the organization. And recently, some enterprises have turned to snapshot, mirroring and standby server technologies which allow for more frequent backup of data. These methods provide protection from complete system failures or natural disasters, but they fail to ensure the integrity between the content and metadata, or recoverability in cases of partial information loss. Thus, the only way to recover individual documents, records or folders is to take the system offline and roll back the entire system to the last backup.
Enterprises using CYA SmartRecovery can recover all lost or corrupted data added to the ECM repository without any loss of productivity or system availability. In addition, CYA SmartRecovery helps them meet strict compliance regulations, ensuring the integrity of content and metadata, including its audit trails.
“Today’s regulatory-driven business environment requires the accessibility and integrity not only of content, but also of the metadata with which it’s associated,” said Wayne Crandall, CEO of CYA Technologies. “CYA SmartRecovery makes it easy for enterprises using FileNet P8 to remain compliant with legal regulations and eDiscovery mandates by maintaining the integrity, availability, and recoverability of content and metadata, saving them potentially millions of dollars in legal fees and other costs associated with non-compliance.”
