NEW: Moksa Releases the all new PresSTORE Integration for Cumulus

Originally developed by Moksa as a custom Cumulus integration for WWE, Moksa president Vincent DiPaola saw an opportunity to bring archive and retrieval from within the Cumulus Client to the larger Canto Cumulus market. Partnering closely with Archiware and Canto to bring the full system to market, 'PresSTORE Inegration for Cumulust' offers Cumulus users the ability to manage the archiving and retrival process from within Cumulus.

"Not only is this a time savings for both IT and users," said Vincent DiPaola, President of Moksa, "it encourages creativity, because users aren't discouraged from working with the files they really want."

The integration was an instant hit with Cumulus users at WWE, as Tom Barnouw, Senior Systems Engineer for the entertainment conglomerate describes. “Finding offline files in Cumulus isn’t a problem, but accessing files archived on tape used to require a lot of manual effort,” he said. “Now, a single menu option in Cumulus springs our tape jukebox into action and fetches whatever files users need.”
