Affordable, Easy-to-use, Hybrid Storage Solution Lets You Combine Multiple Media Libraries

The Permanent Storage Appliance (PSA) is an affordable, easy-to-use, hybrid storage solution for dedicated Windows® environments. It is a fully integrated appliance that includes all the components you need for storing persistent data easily and cost-effectively.

Powerful storage management software lets you combine multiple media libraries into a single, large volume. Policy-based management controls the migration of data between the media libraries and high performance cache, and advanced features such as immutability (WORM) and media/library replication ensure data integrity and availability.

Systems scale from 4TB to 120TB and hot-swappable, redundant components deliver high availability, increased reliability, and field serviceability. For seamless integration into existing infrastructures, the PSA is powered by Microsoft® Windows® Storage Server 2003.

The PSA also delivers key hybrid features including high availability, standard access protocols and media types, industry leading energy efficiency, unparalleled longevity, and flexible data protection.

The Permanent Storage Appliance is easy-to-install, non-disruptive, and comes with all of the components required for storing high-value fixed content. Because the PSA presents itself as a standard network share, it works with existing Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) tools without disrupting your day-to-day operations.
