Cost Effective, Long-term Hybrid Storage Platform for Medium and Large Organizations

The Active Archive Appliance Enterprise Edition (A3 EE) delivers an unparalleled combination of density, performance and energy efficiency to medium and large organizations. This content-aware, hybrid storage platform incorporates groundbreaking features and enterprise scalability - making it an ideal choice for anyone struggling to find a cost effective, long-term storage solution for growing volumes of persistent data.

The A3 combines the powerful ArcOST management software with patent-pending hardware to provide the online access and search capabilities of disk at the cost of traditional offline archives all while offering unmatched data integrity to ensure your valuable digital assets are protected.

Systems scale from 10TB to 280TB in a standard 42U rack and leverage standard network protocols along with standard data and media formats to help you avoid costly vendor lock-in and ensure long-term data accessibility and portability.

Also, patented Extended Verification And Self-healing Technology (EVASTT) combined with the extensive qualification of archive grade media creates a storage system that is 100 times more reliable than enterprise tape or dual parity RAID 6.

What's more, by delivering over 700TB per Kilowatt and consuming as little as 300W per standard 42U rack, the A3 uses less than 5% of the power required for disk-based solutions and 25% of MAID solutions making it easily the most energy efficient storage solution in the industry.

The A3 has been certified with industry-leading Classification, File Virtualization, Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), Enterprise Content Management (ECM), and Email Archive applications including Arkivio® auto-stor, CommVault® Data Archiver, EMC® DiskXtenderT, F5 Acopia® ARX® series, Kazeon® Information Server, and Symantec® Enterprise VaultT to ensure seamless integration into your existing infrastructure.
