Storage technologies too have good and bad points, so using a combination of storage techno... What is the 3-2-1 Archive and Data Protection Best Practice? The 3-2-1 Archive and Data Protection Best Practice was formulated from decades of experience with many different archive technologies, many of which do not exist today. Using proprietary technology o... What is a Cloud Archive Gateway? A Cloud Archive Gateway is an appliance or software running on a server that facilitates the movement of data from an on-premise (local storage) to a private or public cloud (such as Amazon, Azure or ... What is Tiered Storage? Data has a hierarchy of usefulness. To start, data typically is created and perhaps edited repeatedly followed by numerous reads and perhaps re-edits. During this phase fastest storage (Flash) is idea... What is a Tiered Data Storage infrastructure? Tiered Data Storage employs a policy-based data migrator to relocate data to the most appropriate storage tier, based on performance, security and cost. Content typically when first created is best re... What is Self-Healing Archive Storage? Archive Storage is defined as “Self-Healing” when it makes automatic additional copies of data. If the first copy of data is unreadable then a second or even third copy would be read automatically ins... What is Object Storage Software? Object Storage software creates a Cloud-like infrastructure either locally or remote to the primary storage installation. An Object Storage system is designed without the file hierarchy. Content is st... What is Erasure Coding? Erasure-coding reduces the amount of storage capacity required to protect content but increases the processing requirement to reassemble parts into a whole object. Erasure coding is a method to protec... What is Long Term Archival Storage? Data is increasingly being stored for longer periods as it is the life-blood of many organizations which leverage that content again and again for profit. Long-term equates to content that out-lives t... What is High Performance Computing Storage? High Performance Computing (HPC) is used to solve the worlds most difficult problems, such as weather forecasting, DNA sequencing, quantum physics, oil and gas exploration, understanding the universe ... What is a Hybrid Storage Architecture? Hybrid Storage consists of different storage technologies working together to boost their strengths and reduce their weaknesses. Hybrid Storage often refers to primary storage where super-fast Flash i... What is a Hybrid Archive Storage Architecture? Archive storage is designed for long-term data protection often using replication or data coping. A hybrid archive storage replicates data to different technologies to allow for higher cost, faster st... What is Active Archive Storage? Active Archive Storage is designed to store vast amounts of data (many PBs), securely, while allowing users direct access to their data through standard applications or file system interfaces. Many ba... What is File and S3 Archive Gateway Software? Archive Gateway software acts as mechanism to store data to technologies that are not normally supported directly. Data is written using Cloud (S3) or File (SMB or NFS) protocols to the gateway and fr... What is a Public, Private and Hybrid Cloud? Cloud storage is based on the principle of storing objects rather than files. Private Clouds are most often owned completely by the organization, while Public Clouds are owned by a third party that re... What is an LTO Storage Solutions/Archive? LTO (or Linear Tape Open) is a tape format that is approaching its 9th generation and started in 2000 with a capacity of 100GB. LTO is an open standard, developed by HPE, IBM and Quantum, using half-i... What is LTFS? (and TDO) LTFS (Linear Tape File System) is a standard method of writing data to LTO, allowing transfer of content from one tape system to another. LTFS started with the introduction of LTO5 in 2010/2011 and ma... What is a Tape File System? A Tape File System allows archived files to be read individually from tape media. Conversely a Backup product will write a stream of content which requires a restore operation before reading individua... What is Policy-based Migration Software? Policy-based migration software is used to identify and relocate files that are no longer required on the fastest tier of storage but still have value to the organization. Policies can be created to ...
