Alpharetta, Ga.-based Scentric makes the Scentric Destiny software.

George Rodriguez, lead systems programmer at ABC Distributing LLC in Miami, has been testing the software and is considering it for use at his company, which does catalog sales and has up to 5,000 employees during busy times of the year.

Rodriquez's company has a two-tiered storage infrastructure, and he said Scentric Destiny not only moves data to secondary storage, but also does it in a way that the user does not know it has been moved, he said.

Scentric, which shipped its product in April, was the first company in the area to support both unstructured files and e-mail, according to Larry Cormier, senior vice president of marketing. The software typically costs US$100,000, he said.
