Clearpace has released <A HREF="http://www.webitpr.com/release_detail.asp?ReleaseID=9294">NParchive</A>, its new archive data store. NParchive enables IT teams to reduce storage consumption and guarantee long term immediate access to structured data that must be archived. This is a task which RDBMS and data warehouses are not designed for or suited to as they are optimised for transactional processing or high performance analysis.

The NParchive software compresses structured data from databases, data warehouses or log files into archives that are 95 per cent smaller than the data source, time-proofing the data and ensuring immutability.
