Many organizations are experiencing the exploding growth data driven, especially unstructured data and rich media data, along with the increased complexity of managing and protecting large data repositories in an increasingly virtualized environment.  Increasingly, a vast majority of the files created are infrequently accessed, which not only strains the budget when stored on primary Tier I storage, but also magnifies the difficulties of meeting a shrinking "backup window". Active Archive is a paradigm shift and new approach for managing and protecting large active data repositories for the long term.

FileTek is an expert in the active archive market space. StorHouse storage virtualization and data management platform is proven, next-generation active archive technology deployed by public and private research institutes, corporations, and government agencies worldwide for life sciences, scientific research, telecommunications, and financial applications, among others. These organizations benefit from a suite of advanced features that take active archive applications to a higher level.

• Cross-platform (e.g.,Windows, Linux, Unix) access to both file-based (e.g.,CIFS, NFS) and relational data (e.g., Oracle, SQL) on the same StorHouse system
• Files are stored in native file format and eliminates the need for legacy data re-staging and restoration
• Scalability to trillions of files and petabytes of managed data with no performance degradation
• All-in-one platform functionality that provides both archive and backup capabilities in a single system
• Concurrently uses multiple media types (e.g.,disk and tape) to lower the total cost of data ownership with license fees only for the primary copy  
• Active content validation and repair processes to ensure archive integrity and reliability
