Data Archiving

For all archiving needs, an EqualLogic iSCSI SAN provides an affordable, self-managing solution that fully protects data while delivering fast access and long-term retention

Stringent Requirements for Data Storage

Organizations in all industries are archiving greater amounts of data these days, with more stringent requirements for security, access, and retention.

This explosive growth has been driven primarily by regulatory requirements (HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley), corporate governance, human resource policies, and operational needs such as electronic filing of customer transitional records.

For all of these needs, archived data must be secure, accessible, and affordable. In addition, many organizations want the opportunity to store less critical data on a more cost efficient medium.

Affordable, Self-managing iSCSI SAN

EqualLogic PS Series arrays provide an affordable, easy-to-use, self-managing archiving solution, while also fulfilling your primary storage needs.

Our automated iSCSI SAN includes tiering and pooling capabilities, allowing you to archive data from a primary, high performing storage pool on more cost efficient storage that resides in the same SAN. This eases your operational burden and significantly reduces costs when compared with traditional online archiving vendors.

Production data volumes can be cloned using functionality that is standard in each PS Series array, or archived to the EqualLogic SAN using an application from an EqualLogic Technology Partner. This solution saves you time and money while enabling corporate and regulatory compliance.
