Exponential data growth, as well as the requirement for long term data retention, is one of today’s major it challenges. traditional technologies struggle to keep pace with storage and data management requirements (that can grow by up to 50% annually), which piles pressure on it budgets like never before. additional challenges such as carbon footprint reduction add to the headache, costing businesses precious time and resources as they focus on back-end infrastructure at the expense of front-end business systems.

you can take any of our solutions as a discrete service, but the greatest rewards lie in fully integrated multi-tier
data management. this ensures all data is automatically accorded the most appropriate treatment: replication
for mission-critical data (tier 1); backup for critical data (tier 2); and archiving for legacy data (tier 3).
