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 center 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 Center 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

data center 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.

"As data growth continues to accelerate, most of this
growth will be unstructured data, which puts even more pressure on
overall storage budgets. To meet this challenge, Quantum continues
to enhance its archive portfolio by addressing the rising
significance and shifting economics of data retention."
Robert Clark, Senior Vice
President, Product Operations, Quantum
"We're seeing more
data centers reaching a tipping point where their old approaches to
backup and archive have simply been overwhelmed by unstructured
data growth. When data is intelligently tiered to archive storage,
the need for primary and backup storage can be reduced,
dramatically improving operational efficiency while cutting a
customer's overall storage costs."
