Native Compatibility with Most Applications
The digital archive has a file/folder interface for both archiving and restoring. Furthermore, there is no need to load any special software on client computers. This means it works with most applications - from MAMs to Windows Explorer or Finder.
Supports Multiple Simultaneous Applications
Create multiple LTO cartridge groups and use for different applications.
Designed for Networks.
Built-in disk cache delivers high performance in a network and the NAS architecture makes it easy to deploy. Provides two 1 GigE ports.
The solution is optimized for both CIFS/SMB and FTP network protocols. You can use either protocol - or both simultaneously.
Supports Windows, Mac and FTP Clients
Windows, Apple OS X and FTP clients are natively supported.
Fast Archiving
Files are written at disk speed. The system does not wait for LTO cartridges to be mounted and wound to the end of data.
Fast Restores
The system restores a queue of files in the shorted possible time. The restore requests are processed in an order that minimizes unnecessary tape movement.
Partial Restores
Allows a clip to be restored from LTO without need to restore the whole file.
Built-In Data Protection
The system will automatically create extra backup copies of LTO cartridges for offsite retention. (Requires a robotic library or two external LTO drives.)
LTFS Prevents Vendor Lock-In
LTO cartridges are written in either the LTFS interchange format or the open standard TAR format. The use of a standard format prevents vendor lock-in - proprietary formats mean that it is very costly to ever convert to another vendor.
Industry Standard File Security
The archive server integrates fully with the Microsoft Windows security model based on Active Directory. There is no need to configure proprietary user access.
Manages Unlimited Externalized Cartridges
The system manages any number of externalized cartridges, providing an unlimited total capacity. There are no license fees for externalized capacity.
When offline files are accessed, the system prompts with email alerts and on-screen notifications, identifying the cartridge that should be imported back into the system.
A range of different reports helps manage the entire archive including all externalized cartridges.
Strong File Version Control
Accidentally over-wrote or deleted a file? No problem; just select the file and restore deleted files or previous versions.
Scales to 125 TB of Near-line LTO Capacity
Supports a wide range of robotic libraries with up to 50 slots, including models from from Dell, HP, IBM, Oracle, Overland, Quantum, Qualstar and Spectra Logic.
