Point Software Launches Storage Manager V6.1 GDPR Compliant

For businesses that are not yet ready for the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), version 6.1 of the PoINT Storage Manager will help you to implement the regulations coming on May 25, 2018.

In line with the upcoming regulations, companies holding European citizens’ personal data must delete such data on request. Storage Manager 6.1 enables logical and also physical deletion.

“This makes it possible to delete files in a targeted manner where required. On the other hand, if the files need to be kept, they must be suitably protected. PoINT’s software offers this protection via retention management and WORM functionality, fulfilling compliance requirements and preventing unintended changes or manipulation,” said Thomas Thalmann, CEO, PoINT Software & Systems GmbH.

The functionality of the Storage Manager helps businesses meet data protection regulations and also optimize their use of storage.

As well as the functions named above, version 6.1 supports a wider range of storage systems, which includes SUSE Enterprise Storage, IBM COS and Sony ODA.
