Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that its on-demand archival solution has reached a new data processing benchmark, maintaining its position of managing the world's largest data archive. The Digital Safe solution is securely managing more than 10 petabytes of e-mail, documents and multimedia data, which equates to over 30 billion messages, on 6,500 servers. The solution archives three million files per hour.

Digital Safe is powered by Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), which ingests, de-duplicates, indexes and extracts metadata from the files. This prepares the data for compliance audits and eDiscovery for litigation. Each month, an average of 4,000 FRCP compliant audit and eDiscovery searches are conducted, resulting in the production of over eight terabytes of data. These litigation-ready content flows seamlessly into the Autonomy hosted eDiscovery Services environment, or is returned to the client. The Digital Safe solution is used by many global companies, including Aviva, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, Deutsche Bank, eBay, Lincoln Financial Group, LPL Financial, MetLife, Morgan Stanley, Societe Generale, and TD AMERITRADE.

"To combat the current financial crisis, governments from around the world are tightening regulations around compliance and eDiscovery," said Mike Sullivan, CEO of Autonomy ZANTAZ. "It is critical for companies to unify all of their communications into a repository to make it easy to search and find information that relates to potential issues. Autonomy helps companies to reduce their costs of eDiscovery and comply with emerging regulations. 9 of 10 top banks rely on Autonomy for eDiscovery."

Autonomy Digital Safe is a massively scalable, hosted archive service that enables customers to outsource the storage and management of their email messages, rich-media files, instant messages (IMs), unified communications content and content from over 400 repositories to a trusted, proven third-party. Digital Safe helps organizations to eliminate the burden of acquiring, implementing and managing local compliance grade storage, including the time and cost associated with backups, administration, software upgrades and technical support. The Autonomy solution requires no onsite hardware and is completely transparent to end-users. Customers' data is stored in two geographically dispersed, ultra-secure, SAS 70-compliant data centers, ensuring extra protection and Continuity of Business (COB) in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. Digital Safe is designed for the complex and changing requirements of regulated industries. It is proven compliant with all major compliance standards, including SEC 17a-4, FINRA 3010/342, FSA COBS 11.8, and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP).
