July 15, 2008 — Informative Graphics Redacts Private Info
Redaction technology provider Informative Graphics has released desktop software that can detect and automatically remove private information from important documents. Informative Graphics’ Redact-It software suite can identify social security numbers or phone numbers and then put them into a new PDF, TIFF or Content Sealed Format so the source file isn’t touched, the company said. Redact-It can scale to handle bulk processing of document and image files on-demand. Informative Graphics executives said governments, law firms and corporate legal departments can use the software to cleanse privacy information. It has interoperability with EMC Documentum, Interwoven WorkSite, Microsoft SharePoint and others.

The company said that the tool can also display what policies are affected by a change to network security, comply with corporate and regulatory standards, and link change request tickets to rule changes.

HP Fuses With Fusion-io
Hewlett-Packard is adapting its servers to the architecture of Fusion-io, a provider of solid-state memory and I/O products, the companies announced.

The goal is to bring a new way of storing large amounts of active data by combining HP’s servers with Fusion-io’s silicon-based storage technology. Fusion-io executives claimed that its ioMemory gets more than 200,000 I/O operations per second within HP BladeSystem c-Class server blades, so working with HP made sense to build on the technology.
