Fighting a Common Enemy: Data Sprawl
To address the
management challenges posed by massive data growth under flat
budgets, Quantum and Komprise have united scale-out efficiency with
modern simplicity, on-demand scalability and data-aware
automation.
Quantum Lattus object storage delivers cost-efficient capacity,
data protection and resiliency with a simple-to-operate,
simple-to-scale private cloud architecture. Artico is a
self-protecting, active archive appliance that automates tiering to
tape, private cloud and public cloud via user-definable policies to
deliver the optimal combination of data access, performance and
storage cost.
Komprise data management software transparently manages data
across storage infrastructures. It extends existing primary storage
by automatically and continuously identifying and moving less
active data to Quantum's capacity storage — transparent to users
and applications, which continue to access the moved files without
any changes in their processes. Komprise deploys in minutes as a
virtual appliance — no agents, complex configurations or special
hardware required.
15-Minute Assessment Can Reveal Significant
Savings
Komprise offers insights into data composition and
growth across existing storage. In just 15 minutes, customers can
install a Komprise virtual appliance, learn how data is growing and
being used across existing storage, interactively model data
movement policies and understand the ROI of moving less active data
to Quantum storage. Users can efficiently store terabytes to
petabytes of unstructured data files at a fraction of the cost of
cloud storage or primary spinning disk.
Availability
The Quantum-Komprise solution is
currently available through distributors in North America.
Supporting Quotes
Jason
Buffington, Principal Analyst, Enterprise Strategy
Group
"Organizations of all sizes are struggling with
storage growth, but many of those struggles could be alleviated if
folks adopted any amount of ongoing archiving or data management.
The first two and most important aspects of any archival strategy
are 1) know what you have versus what you are actively using, and
2) use a reliable and agile repository to keep everything else
needed for compliance, for future analysis or potential value. With
that in mind, the combination of Komprise and Quantum looks to be
very appealing."
Krishna Subramanian, President
and Chief Operating Officer, Komprise
"Our data
management-as-a-service radically simplifies and transforms how
businesses handle the two biggest problems with data — managing its

combined with Quantum's scale-out storage solutions, customers now
have a way to reign in the complexity and expense of these
challenges."
Geoff Stedman, Senior Vice
President, Marketing and Scale-out Storage Solutions,

"Customers understand the need to implement an
archive strategy to deal with the unstructured data explosion, but
they worry about impacting data access. Quantum archive storage
combined with Komprise analytics-based data movement enables them
to reap the ROI benefits of archive in a nondisruptive and highly
scalable manner."
