DISC-POINT ARCHIVE
The continual growth of requirements for storage solutions in performance, availability and capacity is accompanied by high cost pressure. Statistics show that while server spending has stayed about the same in the past 10 years, the cost of management and administrati on has increased by several factors over the same period. IT departments now spend three-quarters of their time and resources maintaining their environment, leaving little time for value-added activities.
The combined DISC and PoINT Solutions DISC ArXtor PoINT Long-term Compliant Archiving can reduce the cost of acquisition, management and operation by integrating a long-term archiving storage within the customer storage architecture. This basically frees up costly storage resources, improves performance and protects valuable company data that must be retained. The combination of PoINT Software Solutions and DISC ArXtor Libraries allows users a fast, simple and smooth installation and integration of optical into a scalable archiving soluti on. PoINT Jukebox Manager offers as an intelligent middleware standardized file system access, to the attached optical library.
The optical media in the library can be used transparently by applications and users by means of a standardised CIFS share. PoINT Storage Manager PoINT Storage Manager provides in addition, advanced HSM functionality to automate the process of long-term sarching.
