To help companies meet data archiving challenges the archiving technology from iTernity(iCAS) provides an open archiving platform. This solution delivers a new level of simplicity, integration, and automation that lowers costs and risk while enabling better utilization of information assets.
Flexibility: Through a transparent, based on a net archive volume license and the possibility to transfer the archive license to new hardware, allow for minimal initial capital expenditures and generally low operating expense. Many different applications can archive data in parallel using one iCAS system.
Efficiency: The iCAS owner gains low capital expense and on-going moderate operational costs through a transparent license model that is based on the net archive volume, and the capability to transfer the archive license to new hardware. Different applications can archive data in parallel using iCAS.
Back Up without Obstacles: Since the iTernity archive lies on top of a standard file system, you have all the files system backup solutions available to you. Any backup solution that is already in place with your organization can be used; utilizing existing processes and know-how. The data security against manipulation remains with a backup, since the CSC itself technology provides the protection and not the system which holds the data. iCAS back up optimization reduces the number of archived objects and allows for fast and issue free backups.
Virtualization: The iCAS-server can be run completely as virtual appliances (e.g. on VMware, Citrix XEN and Hyper V). There for the archive back end can make use of all the advantages of a virtualized infrastructure. iCAS can also be combined with SAN virtualizations made by HP, DataCore, and Falconstore.
Investment Protection: iCAS is an open solution, that is easily integrated with existing storage systems (NAS/SAN), so that the investment in the IT infrastructure is protected. It allows for various systems of different manufactures being used in parallel. The solution can be incorporated into existing backup and recovery strategies and does not require any special solutions or know- how.
