Active Archive

I recently had the chance to try out Active Archive for Windows, a highly scalable data management software that enables a tiered storage strategy. Its main goal is to help create an accessible low cost media archive that can lower operational costs and facilitate retrieval of valuable information.

What I appreciated the most about Active Archive is its ability to aid long term data retention for compliance, regulatory and litigation requirements, whilst maintaining seamless access to archived data. This is something that any business can appreciate, as it provides an extra layer of security and peace of mind.

Another great feature that I found particularly useful is the option to extend the operational life of servers by recovering expensive storage and raid space. This can significantly impact operational costs and reduce overhead.

Active Archive also helps increase the speed of virus scanning, backups, and file searches by reducing the actual amount of data that needs processing. Additionally, it allows businesses to create and enforce data retention policies, archiving inactive data in an accessible yet tamper-proof format.

The software also provides the option of multiple schemas for different policies on different file types. Transparent data access ensures that end-users and applications can access files regardless of storage location. Active Archive has the ability to migrate files to an unlimited quantity of archive storage devices, which adds flexibility as well as extra layers of protection for archived data.

Lastly, I appreciated that Active Archive for Windows provides the ability to create media copies of your archive for offsite long term storage on standard media types. Overall, Active Archive for Windows is a reliable and user-friendly software that can greatly benefit any business.
