Quantum Archive Systems Control Unstructured Data Storage Costs

Quantaum says that these archive systems can help save significantly on total storage costs by moving data to lower-cost tiers of storage while taking a flexible, scalable approach to protecting data, improving backup windows and reducing network loads.
 
Quantum’s newArtico intelligent NASappliance is a flexible, low-cost entry point for archive, with the ability to scale to petabytes of data as demand grows. Powered by StorNext 5 data management policies, Artico enables customers to store and retain data in a tiered storage system that intelligently places the data on the right system at the right time, both on-premise or in the cloud. The combination of Arkivio Autostor data migration tools with Artico’s intelligent StorNext-enabled policies also enables users to move files from primary storage to less expensive storage while maintaining full access to all files.

Artico’s integrated disk storage extends online access to stored content while reducing the need for primary storage. NAS connectivity makes it straightforward to deploy and integrate into a data centre and is suited to various environments. Artico can balance data access with storage costs using its intelligent data movement capabilities supporting LTO tape, LTFS, object storage and cloud archive targets. Intelligent policies can also create multiple archive copies and support multiple archive targets to deliver protection for archive data. Combining Artico with Arkivio Autostor enables customers to share, store and protect files without backup software.
