Plasmon Intros Archive Appliance

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. -- Plasmon PLC (LSE:PLM), the trusted source in archiving solutions, today announced NetArchive, the first enterprise-class archive solution that blends the best online and long-term storage archive architectures with bundled data management software to provide data integrity, longevity, and disaster recovery, to ensure critical data is highly available and authentic.

Plasmon’s NetArchive is a powerful combination of technologies that recognizes that different data classes have unique requirements for access, e-discovery, and longevity. NetArchive integrates NetApp RAID technologies with Plasmon’s Archive Appliance and intelligent data management software to allow customers to provision data within NetArchive according to its unique storage requirements. NetArchive is an easy to order and install, integrated solution that provides immediate access to critical data via RAID storage, and a long-term, energy-efficient copy on Plasmon’s Archive Appliance. By provisioning data to NetArchive, data can be moved between RAID and the Archive Appliance via automated policy management software, reducing the cost and complexity of managing archives.

“NetArchive is a key step toward the realization of Plasmon’s strategy to simplify the archive process through virtualization,” said Steven Murphy, Chief Executive Officer, Plasmon. “NetArchive revolutionizes our customers’ approach to archiving by delivering an intelligence-based system behind a single storage node. The NetArchive leverages appropriate storage technologies to balance capacity, performance, and storage costs against the legal and business value of data and improves operational efficiencies while meeting customer requirements for a robust disaster recovery strategy.”
