IBM System Storage DR550 Version 3.0 ------ 17 March 2006 Page 16

Note: only this special version of DS4000 Storage Manager should be used with the DR550. You should not use this version with other DS4000 or FAStT disk systems and should not replace this version with a standard version of DS4000 Storage Manager (even if a newer version is available).

Content Management Applications

For the DR550 to function within a customer IT environment, information appropriate to be retained must be identified and supplied to the DR550. This can be accomplished with a content management application. The content management application identifies information appropriate to be retained, and provides this information to the DR550 via the SSAM API Client.

IBM DB2 Content Manager

To assist customers in addressing needs for data retention, IBM delivers DB2 Content Manager along with business consulting services (as needed).

IBM® DB2® Content Manager provides a foundation for managing, accessing and integrating critical business information on demand. It lets you integrate all forms of content - document, web, image, rich media - across diverse business processes and applications, including Siebel, PeopleSoft and SAP. Content Manager integrates with existing hardware and software investments, both IBM and non-IBM, enabling customers to leverage common infrastructure, achieve a lower cost of ownership, and deliver new, powerful information and services to customers, partners and employees where and when needed. It is comprised of two core repository products that are integrated with System Storage Archive Manager for storage of documents into the DR550:

•DB2 Content Manager is optimized for large collections of large objects. It provides imaging, digital asset management, and web content management. When combined w/ DB2 Records Manager, it also provides a robust records retention repository for managing the retention of all enterprise documents.

•DB2 Content Manager OnDemand is optimized to manage very large collections of smaller objects such as statements and checks. It provides output and report management.
