Fact:

Up to 80% of your organisation's data has not been accessed in the last 90 days, and at least 60% of it will never be used again.

HT FileStore Provides Transparency Access to the Archive

  

Finally, an alternative to buying more and more expensive disk.

  

Recent studies show that up to 80% of the data hosted by most IT organizations has not been accessed in the last 90 days. And at least 60% of that data will never actually be accessed in the future.

  

Across the IT industry, data proliferation has driven

a costly annual doubling of primary disk capacity.

Primary storage arrays are not only expensive to buy, they are expensive to manage—requiring resource intensive data backups that clog networks and degrade application performance.

    

HT FileStore is the answer!

  

  

Key Benefits

  

• “Cradle-to-grave” automated management of data

  eliminates manual file management

  

• Enables users to free up existing primary storage

  assets or avoid additional acquisition

  

• Significant reduction in backup and recovery  

  windows, resource consumption and complexity

  

• Eliminates storage management strategy dependence 

  on particular hardware technologies or vendors

  

• Transparent to end-users and applications

  

• Significantly enhanced data protection with multiple

  archive copies managed through independent

  metadata database

  

• Compliance with secure retention and availability

  standards for regulated data

 

Overview

  

HT FileStore is a policy based automated storage management system that analyzes, monitors, and reports on primary disk utilization. The system automatically copies and repositions data based on IT policies to a full range of secondary storage targets. HT FileStore enables the data management lifecycle strategy. It lets IT define and enforce unlimited rules for any logical data set to ensure that: 1) primary disk is optimally utilized, 2) secondary copies of data exist on any combination of media and at multiple locations in compliance with internal and external data availability standards, and 3) archived data is accessible either transparently or “actively” depending on end-user and application needs. HT FileStore is storage agnostic, providing unlimited flexibility for selecting and deploying different types of storage media throughout the evolution of your data lifecycle management strategy.

  

HT FileStore has advantages over more limited HSM products. It automates storage management actions using more granular and sophisticated analysis of the file system. Its policy engine drives a more sophisticated range of actions including:

  

• Scanning and reporting across the file system.

• Deleting unwanted files according to predefined policy.

• Archiving data to secondary storage for data protection and 

  compliance purposes, without modifying source copy.

• “Active archiving” of files from primary storage to    

  secondary storage, providing a full index online for easy 

  user access.

• Transparent archiving through stubbing of files from primary 

  storage, freeing up expensive primary storage capacity 

  while maintaining normal end-user and application access to 

  data.

• Managing file retention periods, protecting data from 

  unauthorized access, and complete auditing of all file 

  access and file movement (“compliant archive”).

• Automating end-user defined actions such as in-place 

  compression.

• Automatic or manual operation.

  

HT FileStore adds robustness to the storage management infrastructure. Unlike other HSM products whose use of stubbing can increase the possibility of data loss, HT FileStore also ensures data integrity by maintaining complete meta-data records in its underlying database, tracking all data it has copied or repositioned to secondary storage, and providing easy querying of its archive contents.

  

Your file: anywhere you want it, whenever you need it.

  

HT FileStore is unmatched in its adaptability—allowing data copies to be made to any combination of common media and storage devices including disk, optical, and tape. And it is this flexibility that prevents your business from getting locked in to one strategy or one particular hardware vendor’s approach. By storing multiple copies at various places on different media, HT FileStore can help to guarantee that data is maximally protected. In addition, it allows more options for recovering data—whether quickly from spinning disk during normal operations or from removable media at a remote site after a large scale disaster. Simply put: HT FileStore lets you store any copies of data on many types of media in the location of your choice.
