Infobelt, a provider data archiving and governance solutions, has released Version 2.0 of its Orion information lifecycle management (ILM) and data archiving solution. At its core, Orion enables companies to create compressed, encrypted artifacts from both structured and unstructured data.

Infobelt's release of the Orion application helps reduce the risk and cost associated with data archiving and governance. Orion 2.0 is a vendor-neutral, all-in-one framework that has the ability to interface with any type of data source or data destination.

Orion enables companies to create compressed, encrypted artifacts from both structured and unstructured data. This approach greatly reduces risk through improved governance of metadata such as retention schedules and chain of custody. With an immutable managed archive repository for digital records near the end of their lifecycle, companies can more quickly search and retrieve information online instead of via more costly physical means, such as tape. Orion's data storage process also enables automatic disaster recovery.
