archiving
Many of the challenges facing SMBs today – such as unabated growth of large, content-rich data sets and more stringent requirements in archival  storage for regulatory compliance are not being met with conventional backup/recovery systems using only tape or disk. The inherent limitations of backup/recovery software and disk-only or tape-only systems are difficult to overcome. The iStoRA Archive addresses these limitations by combining archive software with tape and disk to effectively manage the data lifecycle and keep the investment affordable for small and medium businesses.
Requirements for Archive Management
Archive management requires more than just the transfer of data from multiple storage devices for enhanced protection. The application calls for added intelligence to understand the history and the policies attached to each individual file. In some cases, the data needs extra protection and audit trails, write integrity assurance and quick, easy access to data. Backup/Recovery software has limits when it comes to addressing these needs.
