Archive your data

With organisations storing hundreds or even thousands of tapes, often off-site, the achievable cost-savings from reducing the number of tapes stored can be significant.

ItegraL provides a service that reduces data to around 10% of that previously stored by converting your previously un-indexed, ‘dead’ backup tapes into an active archive. This includes data de-duplication and allows for rapid search and retrieval of information whilst maintaining the forensic integrity of your backups.

Verify your data

The cost savings of storing data on tape, compared to disk are well documented. But even though tape is now more reliable than disk for long-term data storage, the prudent Storage Manager will want to ensure that what has been written can still be read many years later.

ItegraL provides a service that works in your existing tape environment, automatically checking and assessing data readability on your media at pre-determined intervals and only at times of low level drive utilisation. Through automated alerting the Storage Manager will receive notifications when media are starting to fail allowing the data to be migrated to new media. The service can also be used to deliver further cost-savings through only replacing media when required, not at a pre-determined age.

Track your data

Many companies store hundreds, or even thousands of tapes containing backups in case they are ever asked to restore data. But tracking those tapes can become an expensive, laborious task which most companies fail to perform efficiently.

ItegraL provides a managed solution for tracking all your tapes wherever they are in the world with real-time updating and alerting if a tape fails to be moved according to schedule. Close integration with your current backup software ensures the overhead is kept to a minimum and detailed logging provides visibility of every movement for every cartridge.
