THE ASP SOLUTION
ASP Data Archive moves application data to secure, customer-managed storage with full governance in Informatica IDMC. Archived data remains encrypted, immutable, compressed, queryable, and governed through retention policies, legal hold, defensible disposition, and audit-ready controls.
How the ASP Data Archive Lifecycle Works in Informatica IDMC
ASP Data Archive uses a governed, policy-driven lifecycle in Informatica IDMC to define retention requirements, identify archive candidates, review and approve scope, extract data with referential awareness, validate data before deletion, archive it to secure immutable storage, enable ongoing analytics and querying, and purge eligible source data through retention-controlled approval.
Informatica IDMC Governance with Customer-Managed Archive Storage
ASP Data Archive separates governance from storage by using Informatica IDMC for policies, discovery, archive governance, metadata, lineage, and audit reporting while archived business data remains in customer-managed storage. Organizations can use on-premises, private cloud, or S3-compatible object storage while keeping archived data encrypted, immutable, compressed, queryable, and under their control.
Reduce Data Risk and Query Archive Metadata with Informatica IDMC
ASP Data Archive helps organizations lower storage and operational costs, improve application performance, preserve accessible data history, strengthen compliance, and maintain end-to-end auditability in Informatica IDMC. AI conversational querying extends to archive metadata—allowing users to explore catalog sources, retention policies, classifications, data elements, and business context using natural language without accessing the underlying archived data.

Informatica Data Archive & Retention Management: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Informatica data archiving?
Informatica data archiving supports two primary business needs: live application data archiving and application retirement.
​
-
Live (Performance) Data Archiving moves inactive or historical transactional data out of production systems while keeping the application operational. This reduces production data volumes, improves application performance, lowers infrastructure costs, and preserves governed access to archived information.
-
Application Retirement Data Archiving preserves required business data when an application is being decommissioned. Data is moved to secure, customer-managed archive storage where it remains searchable, governed, auditable, and subject to retention, legal hold, and defensible disposition requirements.
​
ASP brings both approaches into an Informatica IDMC-governed architecture, allowing organizations to manage archived data throughout its lifecycle without losing visibility, control, or accessibility.
How does data retention management work with Informatica IDMC?
ASP brings data retention management directly into Informatica Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC). Organizations can directly leverage existing application-level or corporate data retention policies defined within CDGC to drive retention requirements for archived data. This connects enterprise governance with archive execution, helping ensure retention requirements, legal holds, and defensible disposition remain aligned with established policies while maintaining centralized visibility, traceability, and auditability in Informatica IDMC.
Why manage archived data retention through Informatica IDMC?
Managing archive retention through Informatica IDMC keeps governance policies and archive execution connected. Rather than maintaining separate retention rules within an archive platform, ASP enables organizations to leverage the policies already established in CDGC. This creates a consistent governance model across active and archived data while providing centralized visibility into policy enforcement, legal holds, retention requirements, and defensible disposition.
