Archive product to archive email, files, SharePoint, and other content types and applications

ZL Technologies.
Although considerably smaller than the other suppliers in this evaluation, ZL

Technologies delivers rich archiving functionality. Large enterprises use the vendor’s Unified

Archive product to archive email, files, SharePoint, and other content types and applications.

Beyond basic archiving, the product includes strong search, supervision, and eDiscovery

capabilities and the vendor continues to make advances on these fronts. ZL Technologies has an

extensive, integrated set of offerings to support message archiving, but in comparison with other

vendors in this evaluation the vendor’s go-to-market resources are limited and it has acquired

far fewer total customers.

Nasuni Data Continuity

As a next-generation storage controller, one of the Filer’s most critical jobs is to ensure that a gold copy of your data and all its versions are periodically sent to the cloud, and that the data residing in your office for current use is in the form of copies. The Filer’s advanced, cloud-specific snapshot technology achieves just that. The Filer’s other most critical job is to encrypt the data with OpenPGP AES-256 at the edge, so the data can never be breached without your encryption keys (which we encourage you to hold in a secure offsite location). With the technology in place to assure that your data in the cloud is both fully versioned and secure, many exciting new features become possible.

These new controllers work seamlessly with the cloud to deliver Nasuni’s Data Continuity Services: global access, offsite protection, unprecedented ease of data restoration and recovery, rock-solid local performance and immediate access to as much storage as you need. Our system is secure, controlled by you, and backed by a robust service level agreement (SLA), so you can take advantage of the high efficiencies and cost effectiveness of the cloud with complete confidence.

NavigateStorage has a unique solution that you must know more about. After learning a bit more then go to the website and see the new world about Nasuni don't forget the partner who sent you - NavigateStorage.  978-318-9000

Webinar Event

Tuesday, February 28th 

Register Now!

Considering adding a vendor with a difference to your product portfolio?  Then join this webcast to hear more about the innovative work SGI products are involved in and create differentiation for your company. 

Next generation sequencing promises to revolutionize the way in which biological phenomenon are studied.  Unlike traditional Sanger sequencing, where production was measured in hundreds or thousands of bases, next generation sequencing, can produce billions of base pairs of data every day from whole genomes, specific tissues, or parts of the genome, during specific stages in an organism's development.  While this newfound ability to generate massive quantities of data has opened up novel avenues of study, it has challenged the existing computational infrastructure, including traditional distributed compute clusters.  

Hear how Dr. Matthew MacManes of UC Berkeley has been able to leverage the shared memory architecture of the SGI UV against problems that just a few years ago were considered intractable.  See how SGI solutions deliver the speed and scale for the most demanding computational workloads in biosciences. 

Learn more about:
  • How to accelerate genomics and imaging research using highly scalable shared memory
  • Addressing huge amounts of data and moving it quickly into and out of the system

HIPAA, SOX and SEC17 - Nexsan Assureon

FAST RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Assureon provides a strong return on investment (ROI). It can offload more expensive primary storage to free up space for active data. Assureon will reduce the amount of data in monthly full backups, saving time, personnel and money.

EASY TO MANAGE

All local and remote Assureons can be managed from a web browser within a single-pane-of-glass. The web-based GUI makes it easy to create retention rules and associate them with files and folders. Once installed onto the Windows Servers and configured, the Assureon Windows Client copies or moves files onto the Assureon, leaving a small shortcut file behind. Hyper speed restores are available, using the shortcuts.

Another way to utilize Assureon is with the Assureon Edge, an appliance that presents CIFS/NFS shares to Windows and UNIX/Linux environments. The Assureon Edge in turn stores all files on the Assureon.

All files can optionally be encrypted with AES-256. The built-in key manager ensures that all keys are safely stored in 3 locations worldwide. Industry-leading single point deletion technology permits Assureon to effectively delete all copies of a file worldwide by destroying the file's encryption key.
Users are authenticated with Active Directory or with digital certificates to ensure they can only get to files for which they are authorized. Audit trails report on user's activities such as file accesses and denials. Legal hold can be easily placed on any set of files, overriding their original retention periods.

EASY TO USE

Individual users do not to change how they work–archiving is transparent to them. Files and folders, though offloaded, appear to be in the same familiar locations thanks to the shortcut files that are left behind. Once archived, prior versions of files are available with the right click of the user's mouse in Windows Explorer. A web-based GUI makes it easy to search the entire archive with role-based restrictions. All existing applications work unaltered with Assureon because there are no special APIs required.

INTEGRITY

Each time a file is saved, it is fingerprinted so its history and contents cannot be altered after the fact. This write-once, read many time (WORM) storage mechanism is part of how Assureon meets even the strictest regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, SOX and SEC17.

LONGEVITY

Two copies of all files, along with their fingerprints, are stored on separate RAID disk sets. Two Assureon systems can be replicate to each other to protect against a site failure. Files are continually verified against their fingerprint, repaired with their copies and safeguarded by RAID disk arrays, for days or decades. Native active/active replication protects against site disasters with automatic failover while delivering increased performance over active/passive systems. Assureon supports both compliant and non-compliant policies simultaneously while competitors require two systems to be purchased in order to provide both. Files can be AES-256 encrypted. The keys are stored safely at 3 sites by the integrated key management service.

CLOUD-READY

Multi-tenancy features allow service providers to offer archive as a service. This also allows large organizations to achieve strict separation of departments or projects. An on-premise Assureon can replicate to a cloud-based archive service, which is powered by Assureon.

The Best Unified Data Storage Solution

Unified Storage
RELDATA 9240i can be deployed as a flexible and affordable unified storage solution supporting both file (NAS) and block (SAN) application requirements. Unlike proprietary hardware-based, traditional siloed block or file-based products, the flexibility of the 9240i Unified Storage System enables businesses to support a broader range of applications enhancing their competitive position and driving profitability.

The Best Unified Data Storage Solution

Provisioning SAN block volumes and NAS file shares for every physical system and virtual machine on your network is just the beginning - RELDATA delivers on the promise of unified storage by doing that, and so much more. As shown in the diagram below, RELDATA seamlessly meets all of these needs with one platform.

First, command and control for all SAN and NAS storage assets is through a single unified interface to save time and reduce complexity. As important, you enjoy peace of mind and can plan better because the performance metrics for all of your volumes are consolidated.

Next, RELDATA’s virtualized logical volumes - both block and file - use the shortest possible I/O path for lightning fast response. In addition to speed, this makes it easy to allocate graded storage assets without the “churning” found on competing products.

Moreover, all RELDATA volumes are dynamically extensible on the fly, with the results immediately visible for every resource. And with our “Save as you Grow” hardware expansion model, you can precisely match your expenditures to your needs.

RELDATA also delivers the industry’s richest snapshot model with no pre-allocation, unlimited snaps, writeable snaps, and a sophisticated rollback function. The RELDATA snapshot methodology was designed to fill in the missing pieces from the major hypervisor platforms and is perfect for standing up virtual machines.

Taken together, these architectural advances and management tools are the foundation of another important capability - integrated replication. Specifically, RELDATA is the only Tier 1 storage provider that can replicate volumes at the block level and/or the file level depending on the requirement.

Again, virtualized servers benefit from this unique RELDATA capability because hypervisors run applications that typically need LUNs with fast block storage to store the operating system and databases, and unstructured file shares/mounts for a broad varierty of uses such as backup and image staging.
