Archive solutions designed to reduce unstructured data storage costs

Quantum Corp. has introduced three new archive solutions that empower customers to address the challenge of unstructured data growth with cost-effective tiered storage strategies:
Artico™ NAS appliance, which can intelligently store and move data to a public or private cloud, as well as tape.
A joint, certified solution combining Quantum DXi®appliances and Rocket Arkivio Autostor software that can be used for both backup and archive data simultaneously.
A Lattus™ extended online storage offering with object storage nodes that integrate new 6TB disk drives for increased density and lower cost per TB.
These archive solutions can help customers save as much as 60 percent or more on total storage costs by moving data to lower-cost tiers of storage while offering a flexible, scalable approach to protecting data, improving backup windows and reducing network loads.

Artico: smart and simple archive
Quantum’s new Artico intelligent NAS appliance provides 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 technology at the right time, both on-premise or in the cloud. The combination of Arkivio Autostor’s data migration tools with Artico’s intelligent StorNext®-enabled policies also enables users to move files seamlessly from primary storage to less expensive storage while maintaining full access to all files. Other benefits include:
Artico’s integrated disk storage extends online access to stored content while reducing the need for primary storage.

NAS connectivity makes Artico easy to deploy and integrate into a data centre and is well-suited to a wide range of environments.

With its intelligent data movement capabilities supporting LTO tape, LTFS, object storage and cloud archive targets, Artico balances data access with storage TCO.
Intelligent policies can also create multiple archive copies and support multiple archive targets to deliver powerful levels of protection for archive data.
Combining Artico with Arkivio Autostor enables customers to share, store and protect files without backup software.

Extending the power of DXi with archiving
Quantum’s award-winning DXi4700 and DXi6900 deduplication appliances have set new standards for high-performance backup and overall value. Now these appliances can also be used simultaneously for native format archiving. A DXi4700 or DXi6900 complemented by Arkivio data archiving software offers both backup and archive functionality in the same multipurpose appliance, significantly improving the ROI of a DXi investment:
Arkivio Autostor provides a comprehensive solution to assess data attributes and enable intelligent policies based on those attributes for moving unstructured data from primary storage to a DXi appliance.
The combination of a DXi appliance and Arkivio software can help customers save in excess of 60 percent on total storage costs for each TB of unstructured data that is moved from primary storage to archive, while retaining access to the data when needed.
By storing files in their native format, Arkivio offers long-term data retention independent from backup software applications.

Greater data centre efficiency with Lattus 6TB drives
Lattus leverages object storage technology to extend online storage and provide immediate data access with unmatched levels of scalability, durability and cost effectiveness. Today Lattus leads the market in offering new S30 storage nodes with 6TB data centre archive drives, providing 50 percent greater density while lowering cost per TB by 15 percent, compared to current S20 storage nodes. Lattus data spread technology not only delivers extreme data durability but also enables new storage nodes to integrate seamlessly and non-disruptively into existing environments.
