"KOMworx Archive Server is a breakthrough turnkey product combining advanced data archiving storage management software with robust HP hardware, running on a simple but powerful Windows platform," said Dr. Taher Shaath, CEO of KOM Software. "This gives the SMB market an affordable, high performance enterprise class archiving appliance."

The hard disk archiving (e-WORM) capability of KOMworx Archive Server transforms standard disk hardware into non-rewriteable, non-erasable storage media, enabling companies to meet stringent compliance regulations such as HIPAA, SEC 17a-4, Sarbanes-Oxley, DoD 5015.2, and NASD. Incorporating the familiarity and ease of the Windows environment, KOMworx server also brings a complete range of storage management capabilities to the platform, including transparent archiving, automated retention, policy driven ILM and dynamic capacity management.
