Plasmon NetArchive™

Escalating data growth has put an unsustainable strain on IT infrastructures. Organizations are struggling to cope as file servers fill, the cost of disaster recovery (DR) mounts, and backup operations are swamped with data. While adding more NAS storage economically addresses the need for capacity, protecting and managing NAS-hosted information can place an even greater burden on data center infrastructure and financial resources.

To break this cycle, archiving has emerged as a new approach to complement and greatly enhance the use of NAS storage for more efficient data and resource management. The challenge is how to provide long-term retention, disaster recovery, and compliance without disrupting the simplicity and economy of NAS. Plasmon has teamed with NetApp to provide an easy and powerful solution; a NetApp filer-based archive environment that is as simple to access and manage as NAS, while simultaneously meeting the requirements for a “deep archive.”

Plasmon® NetArchive™ is the first enterprise-class, long-term data storage archive solution that blends the best disk based online and long-term optical storage archive architectures together. This virtual archival storage solution leverages best in class NetApp filers, policy based data management software and Plasmon UDO archival storage systems to provide customers with fast access, high data integrity, data longevity, and disaster recovery, ensuring their vital data is highly available.
