Enterprises requiring a disk-based data storage system to store data to disk arrays

About IBM ProtecTIER

ProtecTIER® is a disk-based data storage system. It uses data deduplication technology to store data to disk arrays. With Feature Code 9022, the ProtecTIER Virtual Tape Library (VTL) service emulates traditional automated tape libraries. With Feature Code 9024, a stand-alone TS7650G can be configured as FSI. Several software applications run on various TS7650G components and configurations. The ProtecTIER Manager workstation is a customer-supplied workstation that runs the ProtecTIER Manager software. The ProtecTIER Manager software provides the management GUI interface to the TS7650G. The ProtecTIER VTL service emulates traditional tape libraries. By emulating tape libraries, ProtecTIER VTL provides the capability to transition to disk backup without having to replace your entire backup environment. Your existing backup application can access virtual robots to move virtual cartridges between virtual slots and drives.

ArchiverFS is a lightweight file archiving solution for servers and network storage that lets you use any NAS, SAN, or cloud platform as second-tier storage. With no databases or proprietary formats, it runs on pure NTFS from start to finish. Old, unused, or unstructured files can be moved in bulk from expensive primary storage to cheaper secondary devices while preserving directory structures, attributes, and permissions. If it can be formatted with NTFS and shared via a UNC path, ArchiverFS can use it. Features include support for cloud, DFS, replication, de-duplication, and compression. Optional link stubs (including seamless symbolic links) can be left in place of moved files, so users see them exactly as before. By reclaiming valuable space on primary storage without adding complexity, ArchiverFS helps organizations reduce costs, improve performance, and manage file growth with complete transparency.
