HP StorageWorks Reference Information Manager (RIM) for Databases manages accelerating data growth by relocating closed business transactions and other infrequently accessed data to an online, easily accessed archive database, significantly reducing the size of the production system and improving application performance. By reducing the size of the production database, RIM for Databases can boost application performance by as much as 70%, improve application stability, and cut application environment costs by millions of dollars per year. Furthermore, RIM for Databases retains transparent, online, real-time access to both production and archive data, using the source applications’ interfaces, forms, and reports. In this way, HP RIM for Databases helps improve application performance, reduce storage costs, and meet regulatory requirements.
