FileTek ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF SAP NETWEAVER

FileTek Inc, a data management software developer, has announced strategic participation in, and technological support for SAP NetWeaver, SAP's Enterprise Services Architecture. FileTek is an SAP Partner that provides its StorHouse product for SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) users desiring to store and relationally access large amounts of historical data.

StorHouse manages a hierarchy of near-line storage devices integrated with SAP BW, including low-cost IDE disk and automated tape libraries, and offers automatic data, device, and media management. With StorHouse, SAP BW users can also relationally access detailed data within these alternative media types by performing standard SQL queries.

"FileTek is excited to support this new, technical innovation by SAP," said Dave Daughters, FileTek's vp of Marketing and Business Development. "SAP NetWeaver's open technology will allow our company to further enhance StorHouse for the needs of SAP BW users. This will result in greater value and lower total cost of data ownership for the SAP BW user, as StorHouse is tightly integrated into the complete NetWeaver technology stack."

FileTek's flagship product, StorHouse, extends a relational database on to alternative storage media including tape and optical, and transparently integrates with the most popular databases, such as Oracle, DB2 UDB, and SQL Server.
