Stale data can be automatically archived to secondary storage and deleted from primary servers to free up valuable storage space, whilst remaining available for online browse and restore.

Archived data is de-duplicated, compressed and encrypted, which dramatically reduces the storage space required for long-term archive. This means that period-end records, closed projects,  and snapshots of active projects can be archived cost effectively for long term retention.

The other benefits of using the same system to provide backup and long-term archive are convenience, ease of use and reliability. Costs can even be further reduced by using NAS storage devices, or migrating de-duplicated data to tape for off-line storage.

• Older inactive data can be archived onto less expensive storage
• Frees up space on production systems
• Reduces overall infrastructure costs
