Purpose Built for Archiving


Archive Trends: At a Tipping Point Archive storage capacity growing 56% annually

Compliance continues unabated

New archive use cases

Archived content is a critical business asset

Cloud has changed the economics

Everything needs to be archived but available


Why Object Storage for Archiving?

Best fit for unstructured content

Near limitless ability to scale

Consolidate storage silos

Data storage independent from the app

Easier and less expensive to manage

Onramp to private / public clouds


Protects information at an object level

Enforces retention and disposition

Addresses business continuity and disaster recovery

Provides online access and assured authenticity

Works with any application or any platform

Self-manages and self-heals

Consolidates information silos into a single archive

Avoids archiving multiple copies of the same information

Manages growth while improving total cost of ownership

Secure

Simple

Affordable

Unmatched High Availability – 99.999% Redundant Array of Independent Nodes (RAIN)

– Nodes interconnected via cube switches – Data is protected across independent nodes in a cube – Hardware is duplicated – no single point of failure!

Two protection schemes to store data – Mirrored (CPM) – multiple copies of file and metadata – Parity (CPP) – file split into fragments and spread across nodes

Self-healing – Soft corruptions detected and fixed in the background – Hardware failures addressed to ensure data availability

Replication – For disaster recovery and business continuity – Continuous data availability and investment protection

Less risk

99.999%

availability


Broadest Partner Ecosystem Built to be a multi-application target

• Partner program ensures applications – Are integrated and optimized

– Use retention/compliance functionality

– Work out-of-the-box

Snapshot of leading partners – Medical Imaging: GE, McKesson, Siemens,

AGFA, Fuji, Philips, DR Systems, TeraMedica
