NASHUA, NH - October 25th, 2004 - NTP Software, the worldwide leader in user-focused, policy-based storage management announces the worldwide availability of Universal User-based Management™ (UUM).

UUM™ provides one common interface and infrastructure that allows a single set of user-based policies to be applied to all storage devices to control all users, regardless of the storage host platform, across any storage network. This greatly simplifies and dramatically reduces the cost of storage management..

Universal User-based Management™ provides a policy infrastructure that provides control over compliance, content, quotas, age and security, regardless of where a user’s information may be located. NTP Software's storage management products, utilizing the UUM™ blueprint, deliver the ability for managers to control all users on any storage device with a single, simple set of enterprise-wide, user-focused, storage policies. The UUM™ blueprint then connects the storage resources, users and the policies that apply to them with an on-line support infrastructure that gives real-time support through self-service resources. This greatly improves the end-user experience while giving storage managers the ability to automate routine tasks.

“UUM has the ability to exert control over volume, content and age of user objects, while it develops the data needed to understand what is driving costs and plan for the future. With UUM clients can select the most cost-effective technologies to host storage and manage it all without any additional hassles or costs,” says Bruce Backa, Chief Technology Officer at NTP Software. To learn more about how to implement UUM into your storage environment, go to www.ntpsoftware.com and download the UUM white paper
