Autonomy Announces New Archiving Appliance

Autonomy Arcpliance Combines Power of Autonomy's Digital Safe with
Easy-to-Use, Turn-key Appliance

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure
software for the enterprise, today announced the availability of Autonomy
Arcpliance, a new on-premise digital archiving appliance. Autonomy Arcpliance
leverages the next-generation archiving capabilities of Autonomy Digital Safe,
Autonomy's cloud-based archiving solution, to provide a turn-key and
cost-effective archiving appliance. The appliance is ideal for mid-sized
businesses or organizations seeking a simplified yet scalable solution for
specific tasks - such as archiving application, divisional, or
location-specific data.

Autonomy Arcpliance extends Autonomy's comprehensive next-generation archiving
offering - which includes both cloud-based and on-premise solutions and meets
the diverse archiving demands of all types and sizes of organizations. These
solutions include Autonomy Digital Safe, which manages the world's largest
cloud-based archive at over 10 petabytes, and the Autonomy Enterprise Archive
Solution (EAS), a highly scalable on-premise solution that captures and
preserves electronically stored information (ESI) for litigation readiness,
information governance, and storage optimization.

Powered by Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), Autonomy's
archiving solutions automatically ingest, de-duplicate, index and extract
metadata from files. Autonomy IDOL automatically understands how to manage
each piece of content, thus eliminating the burden of acquiring, implementing
and managing local compliance grade storage, including the time and cost
associated with backups, administration, software upgrades and technical
support.

Autonomy Arcpliance - Combining Power and Simplicity into One Archiving Box
Businesses and government institutions can use Autonomy Arcpliance to
intelligently archive all data types - including email, audio, applications,
and SharePoint files - without the need for significant hardware, software,
and IT personnel resources. The appliance is very easy to setup and delivers
an intuitive, easy end-user experience.

Autonomy Arcpliance combines this simplified, turn-key approach with the
enterprise-class, massively scalable capabilities of Digital Safe. These
include Autonomy's unique split-cell architecture developed in response to
shortcomings in Storage Area Networks and other network storage devices that
failed to maintain performance when archiving the massive amounts of email,
audio and content generated by companies. The split-cell architecture is a
grid-based design that is infinitely scalable, maintaining performance under
any load.

"With over a decade of experience in tackling some of the world's most complex
archiving challenges, there is not a scenario, data type, or business case
that we have not successfully covered," said Mike Sullivan, CEO of Autonomy
ZANTAZ. "With Autonomy Arcpliance, Autonomy is delivering this world-class
technology and expertise in an easy to install, turn-key appliance. We see a
significant market that is ready to 'turn on' Autonomy archiving with the
Arcpliance box."
