Active Archive

Making data openly accessible

What's Active Archive ?

Data archiving or Active Archive is used to move inactive data to secondary storage chosen by the strategy of the Enterprises (NAS, Object Storage or Tape, whatever).  The production application needs to free space to continue for new business applications but enterprises need to keep access if required.  Secondary storage is then elected during a time defined by the business workflow.  

           "Experts and Analyst say that in most organizations, 80% or more of data are not used and this data stays on the primary storage which is very expensive in term of hardware but also in term of IT department which must manage all (firstly, the storage and secondly their backup and finally the data protection)." 

By off-loading data, you free up storage resources. As your business continues to accrue new data, a long-term storage and active archive solution is needed.

Container Definition

Where you can access & synchronize the data
NFS/SMB/S3

NFS and SMB allows data transfer to Containers which is seen as Network Shared Folder.

Container can also be seen as an S3 bucket with an access authentification per user.

Caching

Caching system allows fast access for all data transactions. Read and Write.

User & Group management

For each network folder you are able to set the access rights for one or more users and/or groups of users. The authentication and autorisation can be managed locally, with Active Directory or with LDAP.

Quota and disk allocation

These settings can be set in order to limit caching usage per container. The quota is a limit definition on the global capacity limitation which is set on the container.

Virtualize your object storage

Organize & AUTOMATE DATA FROM YOUR OBJECT STORAGES
Workflows

The data movement from a container to object storage allows for the non-active data to be moved to commodity disk for a lower TCO, whilst still being visible and transparently available for your users and under your control. 

Scheduling

The internal scheduler can execute automatically, manual or scheduled task.

Filtering

Two different types of filtering are available : basic and advanced. Advanced provides embedded scripting editor. 
Use Case Active Archive CloudObject
vIRTUALIZE YOUR TAPE STORAGE

DATA STORED ON TAPES ARE ACCESSIBLE FROM NETWORK SHARES
Use Case Active Archive Tape
Workflows

As we all know only roughly 20% on average of storage systems is active data. Nodeum's innovative solution allows to move the other 80% of the data into tape solutions based on LTFS. This results in a much lower TCO, due to cost of infrastructure, but also cost of power consumption and cooling.

Scheduling

The internal scheduler can execute automatically, manual or scheduled task.

Filtering

Two different types of filtering are available : basic and advanced. Advanced provides embedded scripting editor.

More and more businesses are moving their data into to the cloud, both to bring the cost of storage infrastructure down and also to enable easier collaboration and exchange of data. Especially, if you have an archive that needs to be accessed by external stake holders, a combination of on premises main storage combined with a cloud archive makes a lot of sense.
