Litton PRC Adds StorHouse to its Storage on Demand Services

FileTek Inc, a data management solutions provider, and Litton PRC Inc, a subsidiary of Litton Industries, announced a joint agreement allowing Litton PRC to offer FileTek's flagship StorHouse data management software as part of the company's Storage on Demand Services (SODS) marketed to the Federal Government and commercial enterprises. As part of the arrangement, StorHouse will be added to the SODS portion of the Litton PRC GSA Information Technology Schedule.

This agreement will permit organizations to drastically cut their data ownership costs, while keeping all their information readily accessible. The SODS offering provides flexible and scalable outsourced storage solutions to meet the needs of high growth, storage intensive environments. Storage hardware and software is provided and managed by Litton PRC at an agency or company site, thereby removing all ownership worries. Incremental storage capacity is delivered rapidly as it is needed, providing predictable and controlled costs. StorHouse enhances Litton PRC's SODS by utilizing RAID, optical, and cost-effective high-speed tape storage while allowing relational access using standard SQL.

"This agreement between FileTek and Litton PRC is great news to government agencies and corporations who want to reduce their data storage costs," said Bill Adolfson, Products Manager at Litton PRC.

"Now, SODS can provide cost-effective online data storage for vital information. This can be critical when historic data is sought in a timely manner."

"FileTek is very enthused about our new relationship with Litton PRC," said Dave Daughters, vice president of Business Development at FileTek. "This is not only good news for our two companies, but also for the Federal Government and other organizations. They will be the ultimate benefactors of our combined technologies."

StorHouse is a comprehensive data management solution that allows on-line access to row-level data stored across all storage media (e.g., tape, RAID, optical). It transparently integrates with the most popular databases, such as Oracle, DB-2, and SQL Server, and supports industry-standard gateways and data access methods.

Currently, Litton PRC SODS is installed at a large federal agency responsible for providing information technology and computing processing support to the Department of Defense. For more information, please contact your Litton PRC representative.
