An Active Archive ™ Partner Solution A Revolution in Enterprise Archiving With thousands of customers and decades of experience, Spectra Logic and QStar Technologies are helping organizations create an Active Archive™ strategy that delivers more resilient data protection, improves efficiency, and reduces costs. Focused on enterprise environments that struggle with hundreds of terabytes or petabytes of content, Spectra Logic provides the scalability that can only be achieved through high capacity tape storage and QStar offers a complementary field proven archive and data management software platform. Spectra Enterprise Archive Benefits • Enterprise class solutions scaling to petabytes • Extends media and data life reducing refresh cycles • Protects and preserves archive data • Grows with evolving archive needs • Reduces power consumption • Creates a foundation for regulatory compliance • nTier server can manage the archive Spectra Logic’s Enterprise Storage Management The Spectra T-Series LTO tape libraries provide investment protection through flexible capacity expansion, advanced encryption for extra security, sophisticated tape lifecycle management that ensures data longevity, and dramatic savings in power consumption and floor space. This combination of features makes Spectra uniquely positioned to address the storage needs of an enterprise archive, and is an ideal complement to the Spectra nTier and QStar HSM Software. Spectra Logic’s Media Lifecycle Management (MLM) provides the unparalleled ability to reduce media related issues through its intuitive reporting of at-risk media that should be retired. For truly complete media health reporting, MLM non-intrusively tracks over 30 criteria about each tape throughout it’s usable life. MLM’s comprehensive reporting is essential for a long term data archive, maximizing tape refresh cycles and mitigating the risk of data loss. Energy costs and environmental responsibility are also key considerations for many data centers. The Spectra T-Series libraries use dramatically less power than equivalent disk storage and its BlueScale® EnergyAudit software monitors exactly how much electricity is being consumed. As part of an Active Archive™ strategy, the Spectra T-Series libraries deliver flexible capacity management and secure data preservation as part of a greener and more cost effective archive. QStar Enterprise Archive Benefits • Users are able to access files directly from archive • Virtually unlimited file system and archive scalability • Manages the retention and lifecycle of data • Reduces backup overheads • Optimizes the use of storage infrastructure • Lowers the cost of disaster recovery QStar’s Enterprise Archiving and Data Management In combination with a Spectra T-Series LTO tape library, an Active Archive™ can be easily created using QStar’s HSM software in existing Windows, Linux, UNIX or Mac OS X environments. QStar HSM virtualizes the LTO tape library behind a file system which can be shared out using CIFS or NFS. As the archive is presented as a standard file system, users and applications can easily search, find, and recall data directly from the archive, without the need for administrator intervention or an API. To accommodate changing data center requirements, the QStar archive software and the Spectra Logic T-Series libraries expand easily to support virtually any level of data growth. Supporting a few terabytes to multiple petabytes, archive capacity can be added on-demand, avoiding costly and disruptive system ac- quisition. Our flexible solution supports many types of data archival applications including email, PACS, documents, database, video or audio. To reduce the need for expensive primary storage and to reduce backup, QStar Network Migrator (QNM) software can be used to stub and migrate, move, or copy static files to more cost-effective Spectra Logic tape media for long term secure storage. Based on policies, QNM creates a tiered storage model and manages the location, retention and replication of data throughout its lifecycle. Regardless of the physical location of the files, users can continue to access them from their original location. For cost-effective disaster recovery, QStar’s optional advanced mirroring provides the real-time replica- tion and monitoring of archive data between primary and secondary sites.
