Quantum archiving solution reduces burden of unstructured data growth on primary storage

Quantum Corp. has announced a new solution integrating Rocket Arkivio data archiving software with Quantum’s Lattus™ Object Storage to reduce primary storage and backup costs by archiving static, unstructured data. With the combined solution, customers can save 30 percent or more in annual storage expenses and, in many cases, pay back their investment within one year.

For customers who need to retain and access hundreds of terabytes of unstructured data, Quantum Lattus Object Storage is a self-healing, self-protecting private cloud solution that enables more efficient primary storage usage, delivers extreme archive data resiliency and protection, and offers low latency disk access to archive data. Compared to RAID or tape storage, Lattus Object Storage provides the most effective solution on a cost/performance basis for active access, retention and protection of unstructured data in large archive environments.

Lattus’ self-migrating feature also enables users to non-disruptively incorporate the latest storage technology, keeping their initial storage investment viable for much longer than with traditional storage platforms.

The policy-based tiering in Rocket Arkivio provides a comprehensive solution to assess data activity and move unstructured data from primary storage, enabling end users to take full advantage of the benefits of Lattus Object Storage for archival while eliminating unnecessary backups of static data.

Quantum’s growing portfolio of archive solutions for the data center includes Scalar®tape libraries and the Scalar LTFS appliance as well as Lattus Object Storage.
