Static Data / Content
(AKA archive data / content)
  • System examples: Mainframe systems, CMOD, CA View, BMC Ctrl-D, ASG/Rocket Mobius…
  • Content that is not meant to be changed, but rather stored for reference and regulatory purposes
  • Typically computer-generated rather than user-generated, with potentially very large data streams (millions of documents daily)
  • May feature annotations, kept on a separate layer to preserve authenticity of documents
  • Focus on lightweight long-term storage, often in a code-based format in blobs containing many items which are rendered to view on demand
  • Content examples: invoices, statements, policies, signed applications…
Non-Static Data / Content
(AKA active or dynamic data / content)
  • System examples: FileNet P8, SER Doxis, OpenText Documentum, OpenText Content Server…
  • Content that is meant to be edited regularly, collaborated upon, used in workflow/process automation, and/or includes versioning
  • Typically user-generated rather than computer-generated
  • Focus on rapid retrieval and updates in the native file format
  • Less dense than static content, therefore lightweight storage is not as important as rapidly managing individual documents
  • Content examples: Office documents, working quotations and proposals, project status tracking, documentation…

Automate retention management – e.g., if you are legally obligated to retain certain data (insurance policies, customer invoices…) for a certain period of time, you can set for these files to be automatically deleted after that retention period expires

Heading

Flexible archive storage – our proprietary archive storage framework retains the ability to easily delete specific information within a storage object without affecting the rest of the object. Other archive storage frameworks struggle with this. This means that GDPR is no problem with MARS Archive Format – you can have 400x compression and retention automation AND easily comply with GDPR Right to Forget requests

Heading

You can add MARS Archive Format to your existing ECM – no need to change your content services stack or workflow, your end users won’t notice any change
