Automated Archival software for any storage and server solution, HSM (Hierarchical Storage Management) software has been around for many years. This unique approach to archive virtually eliminates the need for a back-up to tape or other storage technologies. HSM writes data to a secondary medium as soon as the data hits the primary RAID storage. This provides a minimum of two copies of data at all times unless your primary storage is full and the archive takes effect. Information lifecycles are critical to manage the ever increasing volume of data. HSM can support multiple tiers of storage based on cost, performance and accessibility needs. It is also seem less to all users on the server. The file tree structure never changes and all data looks and is readily available to the user with only slight delay if the file is retrieved as an archive. These packages are feature rich and very customizable to your storage management needs.
