QStar HSM

Built for demanding data center environments, HSM manages the lifecycle of data across multiple storage levels. HSM provides the foundation for a resilient 3-2-1 archive strategy by combining fast RAID backed by a secure optical, tape or CAS archive and complete offline media management. No other archive solution on the market supports the same range of storage devices, providing long term hardware independence.

HSM is designed to keep pace with a growing archive through non-disruptive incremental expansion from a few terabytes to petabytes. The use of optical and tape technology in combination with encryption and digital signature features delivers the data authenticity and longevity essential to any archive. HSM also supports green data center initiatives through the use of efficient automated libraries, dramatically reducing power consumption and cooling costs.

Advanced mirroring and data migration functionality are tightly integrated options within the HSM platform. Data Director capabilities can be quickly deployed as greater levels of disaster prevention and remote data management are required. HSM provides a very cost effective archive solution with the performance, resilience and longevity essential for demanding professional archive environments.
