Archive File Manager

Plasmon’s Archive File Manager is specifically designed to help you effectively manage the explosive growth of unstructured data. If you’re like most companies today, you are probably experiencing rapid file system growth. Although a majority of this data will never be accessed, it still resides on expensive primary storage, causing unmanageable backup issues, and leaving critical information vulnerable.

The Archive File Manager solves these issues by integrating data and storage discovery, contextual classification, and automated data management into one intelligent file system archiving solution. It uses IT-defined policies to pull static data off NAS and SAN-based storage, and migrate or copy it to the UDO Archive Appliance™, or the Enterprise Active Archive. These solutions provide lower cost storage that is explicitly engineered for long-term archiving and compliance.

Features and Benefits

Eliminates Backup Issues Associated with Fixed Content: The Archive File Manager automatically moves your static data to an archive tier that provides low-cost and compliant retention on permanent storage.

Removable and Compliant Second Copy of NAS Data: Migrating your data to UDO media also provides a cost-effective, disaster-recovery strategy for all your NAS files. The UDO media can easily be transported to an offsite location for secure storage.

Agent-less Deployment: The Archive File Manager uses a non-invasive approach that automates data movement without server agents

Simple to Install and Integrate: Integrated NAS file management technology allows you to seamlessly access and manage your data on NetApp filers, EMC Celerra, and IBM N series. And a wizard-based interface simplifies first-time setup, maintenance, monitoring, and administration.

Facilitates Storage Capacity Planning: The Archive File Manager gathers critical information from file systems, and provides you with detailed information about your storage capacity levels and data usage. As a result, you can improve operating efficiencies and application performance.

Environmentally Responsible: Moving your fixed content off of spinning disk helps you save money and keeps your data center “green”.
