OpenText Information Archive can archive any type of data, including both structured and unstructured data. It perfectly preserves data to ensure it’s relationally valid and contextually intact—ready for use years down the line. It can even elegantly combine relational data with attachments from multiple sources. You can also archive otherwise difficult datasets, such as multi-record print output in AFP or PDF formats. For organizations carrying a lot of legacy content, it effectively cuts management and storage costs without letting data go dark. Your data is audit-ready from day one.
-
OpenText Information Archive is built as a general-purpose archive that accepts data from any application, database, or document repository and includes advanced features to manage these disparate data types. You can decommission data from virtually any application or source—and customers have done exactly that across thousands of systems, including SAP® solutions, Salesforce, and FileNET. This is especially useful for application retirement, mergers, and consolidation work, where losing access to old data simply isn’t an option.
-
OpenText Information Archive is available on Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, or Amazon Web Services. All three can be deployed through a managed-services contract with OpenText Cloud, which takes the infrastructure burden off your team. Your organization can also subscribe using your existing contract commitments with a hyperscaler, easing acquisition and annual budgeting concerns. Archiving plays a bigger role in cloud migration than most people expect—it’s often what makes the move cleaner, faster, and more compliant.
-
Yes. If your organization requires on-premises control or compliance with strict data sovereignty requirements, you’ll need an archive that’s fully scalable and low-maintenance. That’s OpenText Information Archive. On-premises deployments with local storage are fully supported, and so are hybrid setups using Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob storage, or Amazon S3, allowing you to manage storage differently depending on dataset compliance or storage cost requirements. You pick the model that fits your infrastructure, your compliance requirements, and your budget. No forced migrations required.
See how starting small can build into a full archiving strategy.
-
Compliance is built into how OpenText Information Archive works—not bolted on. Multi-phase, event-driven retention policies, legal holds, encryption, and full audit trails are all standard. The platform supports GxP, HIPAA, Dodd-Frank, and EMIR certifications, so your team can archive to a fully compliant, audited environment. The integrated Content Aviator GenAI experience keeps you compliant by ensuring that data remains protected within the compliant environment, automatically protecting and masking PII and other sensitive data, and adhering to your security policies.
Explore how archived data becomes a source of institutional knowledge.
-
Most organizations have years of valuable data sitting in archives, largely untouched. Content Aviator changes that—bringing GenAI capabilities like natural language query, summarization, ad hoc graphing, and analysis directly to structured data and content in OpenText Information Archive. That’s archived data you can actually use, not just store and forget. For knowledge management use cases, OpenText™ Knowledge Discovery extends this further.
