Enterprise Library

Enterprise Library provides:

• A single service-oriented architecture: By combining the disciplines of archiving and records management into a single service-oriented architecture, Enterprise Library enables the adoption of a unified strategy for enterprise-wide records management aligned directly with an organizational strategy for addressing both electronic and physical storage.

• Lower total cost of ownership: Business applications work in concert with enterprise storage strategies, influencing storage decisions rather than being constrained by them. Likewise, enterprise storage strategies are enhanced and improved with the added context that applications provide bringing the lowest total cost of ownership for storage services without negatively affecting the businesses that rely upon them.

• Archiving: Rather than have storage requirements define where content is stored, Enterprise Library lets retention rules, policies, and applications creating the content to work together to define how information is stored - right down to defining specific storage platforms - so that storage costs can be controlled. Enterprise Library integrates with all major storage systems, from leading vendors such as EMC, Hitachi, Sun, HP, and others, so organizations enjoy the freedom to use any combination of storage systems they choose.

• Powerful content search and retrieval: Enterprise Library provides comprehensive search capabilities, including federated (brokered) search, to help information workers easily locate content across multiple systems to accelerate project and decision-making processes.
