Organization Grows Amid Demand for Easier, More Affordable Solutions for High-Volume Data Storage
The Active Archive Alliance announced today that four storage companies have joined the organization.

With the new members, the Alliance is able to bolster the technology solution sets available for implementing active archives that are best suited to address each customer's specific needs.
Each of the members enables the Alliance to offer an even greater variety of active archive configurations.
