"As data volumes continue to grow, so do the challenges for IT managers to cost-effectively provide higher levels of utilisation across different data types and workflows," said Giovanni Coglitore, Senior Vice President and Chief Products Officer at SGI. "LiveArc is specifically designed to allow for faster discovery, one-step sharing and closer collaboration, enabling more efficient data management and reduced infrastructure costs."

"LiveArc's flexibility to aggregate across multiple data and metadata types makes it a compelling tool for bridging multiple data silos, particularly in very large archives," said Benjamin S. Woo, Vice President, Enterprise Storage Systems of IDC. "This ability to federate between otherwise incompatible environments using open-standards increases the ability for users to quickly find and access what they need without requiring modification to the existing IT infrastructure."

SGI provides global customer support and professional services related to its products, including LiveArc.

SGI has over 1,300 employees worldwide, and sells systems, technologies, software, and services to enterprises in over 25 countries through a direct and indirect sales force including OEMs, system integrators and value added resellers. SGI has a base of over 6,000 customers.
