File Archiving and Protected Data Lifecycle Management

HT FileStore: Easy, Cost-Effective and Secure Data Management

Data proliferation is costly. It can double the volume on primary disk every year. Yet recent studies show that up to 80 percent of the data hosted by most IT organizations has not been accessed in the last 90 days, and at least 60 percent of that data will never be accessed again. E-mail is no exception. Corporate e-mail accounts for approximately 54 billion messages sent daily around the world, with more than five petabytes of data attached to messages every year.

As system administrators manage this growing volume of data to control costs, they must also maintain an archive to ensure disaster recovery and high availability for their organizations, which must comply with regulations for long-term, secure data retention.

Together, Quest® Archive Manager and BridgeHead® HT FileStore provide a powerful solution for easy, cost-effective and secure data management.

Streamlined Archiving of All End-User Data

Together, Archive Manager and HT FileStore provide a convenient solution for efficiently archiving end-user files and e-mail. HT FileStore complements Archive Manager with archiving and multi-media storage management for both files and e-mail attachments.

Greater Protection of Data at Lower Cost

HT FileStore automatically selects and copies files from expensive disk to a repository using more effective archiving media. Archive Manager shares this repository. This means administrators do not need to back up or replicate data every night in the archive. This results in a more secure archive at a much lower cost – and a greatly reduced administrative burden.

Reduced Risk of Non-Compliance

HT FileStore controls the positioning and security of data throughout its lifecycle. The application manages the copies it makes on multi-copy, multi-media repositories that the user chooses. Additionally, it provides advanced auditing, access control and removable media management to ensure full compliance with long-term data retention laws and standards.

Archive Manager and HT FileStore operate seamlessly in concert to capture all end-user data, further safeguard archived data, and reduce the cost and burden of data storage.
