They are being pressed to create operational efficiencies, make content even more available,
address disaster recovery, and reduce costs related to their overall operations. Traditional
approaches to content storage and access have limitations, and they can be very expensive.
However, a new approach improves access and security and does so at a tiny fraction of the cost.
This solution stores content on less-expensive, distributed network of storage devices, providing
online, high-availability content in an environment that reduces technology costs. The Systemware
Content Cloud approaches content storage and access in a new way, and is poised to set a new
standard in ECM.
Outside Pressures Highlight Need for Change
The statistics on the proliferation of content are very familiar, but the numbers bear repeating.
It’s been estimated that content creation globally will grow 50-fold by 2020, with 80 percent or
more of that data being unstructured. Amid these pressures, some organizations are pushing
themselves to expand their content management capabilities in order to improve customer
service, encourage user self-service, and leverage various mobile technologies. Others are “right-
platforming,” shifting content taking up space on mainframes onto distributed environments. All of
this is happening in an environment of still-constrained IT spending.
Challenges in Data Access and Security
As we discuss content management solutions with some of the biggest names in American
business, we hear over and over again about the need to address four distinct challenges:
1. Create operational efficiencies. Corporations are looking to eliminate the multiple silos
of content that remain all too common. They want to move away from multiple content
repositories toward one comprehensive solution that stores and manages content from
any platform to any platform, streamlining processes and reducing costs . And they need to
make certain their solutions will able to address the growth of content volumes.
2.Address content availability issues. Consumers are no longer satisfied to have a mere
six months of basic account information available online. They want more and more
information immediately available. Corporations want to move content closer to consumers
but also to their own users, their employees, to improve internal processes and customer
service.
3. Lower costs of disaster recovery. A large bank can spend in excess of a million dollars a
year on disaster-recovery software it hopes never to use. That is a “luxury” to which fewer
and fewer corporations want to devote precious resources. Compliance considerations
dictate the need for effective disaster recovery, yet many corporations lack failover
capabilities for content.

With budgets tight and data volumes exploding, Information Technology departments at
many corporations are looking for answers.

4. Reduce costs of mainframe operations. Many corporations are considering a blended-
platform deployment allowing them to optimize mainframe applications. By doing so, they
will address the:
►► Cost of DASD
►► Cost of MIPs consumption
►► Cost of latency related to retrieval of content.
Solution’s Foundation is Secure Storage
It was with insight into these challenges that companies face in managing ever-increasing
volumes of data that Systemware developed Content Cloud. It is an integrated content network
that incorporates powerful compression software in a common environment that supports
instant availability of content online and reliable, low-cost disaster recovery through replication.
Its foundation is secure storage. Content Cloud is one, central solution to access all content,
regardless of repository or platform.

Systemware provides the ability to easily consolidate content silos. Often times the legacy
system contains valuable content that has not yet reached the end of its useful lifecycle, but it
is desirable to sunset the application. Systemware provides a low-cost, highly efficient solution
for a systematic, reliable, and repeatable means to consolidate and reuse the contents of legacy
repositories.

Instead of requiring a total archive conversion, our Legacy Archive Processor (LAP) provides virtual
access to the archived content and real-time conversion of only the data that is needed. This
transparent approach, with its common interface for all content regardless of new or legacy, has
dramatically reduced time, effort and the cost of consolidation while maximizing user acceptance.
Content Cloud also facilitates IT infrastructure optimization, specifically mainframe. With Content
Cloud, distributed servers efficiently store the ever-growing volume of content while mainframes
deliver mission-critical applications rather than storage.
Encryption is provided throughout the content lifecycle, at rest and in motion. Content Cloud
protects massive data volumes by centrally managing all layers of content access policies and
distribution privileges across each node; and it integrates easily with customer authentication
technologies such as LDAP.
Instant Availability Improves Customer Satisfaction
With Content Cloud, enterprise content is available online, improving the ability to serve
customers by providing access not just of recent information, but to all information retained
according to regulatory compliance or corporate retention policies. It grants access to documents,
content and segments of content based on rights and roles while preserving the documents’
original integrity. And it delivers replicating content stores, ensuring business continuity and
uninterrupted user access.
Efficiencies through Replication and Compression
Another key to Content Cloud is replication, which facilitates content availability and provides
cost-effective disaster recovery. Content is automatically replicated across content stores, creating
an active failover site for enterprise content.
In addition to moving archived content to distributed platforms, Content Cloud compresses
content to consume between 50% and 90% less space and can be tailored by file type and
algorithm for maximum efficiencies. When users access the compressed content, only the
content or segment of content requested is uncompressed and delivered maximizing bandwidth
utilization. Content Cloud retains all the functions of the Systemware repository, including
message and browse file emulation as well as standard support for batch query, work queue and
restore functions.
Finally, Content Cloud is scalable, with the ability to address both volume growth and changing
market dynamics. It can be deployed on-premise, hosted in Systemware’s secure data center, or
deployed using a combination of the two.
Content Cloud: Speed,Safety,Savings
As we consider the impact of Systemware Content Cloud, we can see it creates tangible benefits in
the three key areas most valued by corporations needing innovative approaches to content storage
and access: speed, safety and savings.

Not surprisingly, corporations place differing urgency on each. One has accessibility issues while
another needs help with security. But in discussing with IT managers an arc of everything that can
happen to a piece of content throughout the environment, one of these goals resonates with most
all of them. If a solution to that problem solves other issues, even better, those other components
are not only potentially useful, they’re included for “free.”
Speed from find-ability and access
These days, speed often comes down to the ability to find and then access enterprise information.
Users are not particularly interested in searching for information. They want to find very specific
content – quickly and efficiently – and then put that information to work to make informed
business decisions, meet regulatory requirements, and serve customers.
A basic index, much like a book’s table of contents, provides a way of logically segmenting and
quickly referencing target content in a single document or report. With basic indexing, companies
can select and segment important information within a document. But by applying index upon
index, companies can drill down into a document to find and deliver very specific bits of content.
Content Cloud delivers greatly enhanced performance through the use of multiple levels of
indexing. This approach, which is far more detailed and comprehensive than traditional corporate
indexes, acts as a layered table of contents to accelerate and focus search results.
Content Cloud provides instant access and delivery of targeted information within the context of
the business process, helping users work more efficiently and make more informed decisions.
Safety from a secure, compliant foundation
Infrastructure soundness is a key concern in an era so driven by issues of security and compliance.
Another element of safety is forward-looking, and relates to the ability of a solution to scale as the
business grows.
Content Cloud provides corporations with a secure, compliant and scalable foundation. System
resiliency comes from an automatic replication of content and active failover, ensuring continuous
availability for business continuity and cost-effective disaster recovery.
Content Cloud is integrated with external security systems for access rights; and role-based access
is defined from a common location for all nodes, easing the administrative burden. Document/
report level encryption -- when content is both in motion and at rest -- provides assurance and
content security.
A system monitor provides an audit of system access for compliance, while parallel processing and
load balancing provides the ability to scale both horizontally and vertically maximizing system
throughput and availability.
Savings from consolidation, mainframe optimization
About 60 percent of IT spending worldwide goes toward infrastructure and operations, so it’s no
surprise that companies looking for savings start with infrastructure. But having made extensive
investments in mainframe technology, companies are looking for ways to use that technology in
the most appropriate way while moving other functions to distributed platforms. They want to
increase storage savings, lower CPU consumption and, where possible, reduce network traffic.
