Such diverse data

Enterprise data can be represented as a spectrum: from "hot" to "cold," where data that is frequently accessed (hourly, daily) is considered hot, and data that is accessed less frequently (weekly, monthly, annually) ranges from warm to cold.

In many companies, warm and cold data occupy the majority of storage, and their volumes continue to grow.

The content of warm and cold data is costly, and ensuring their protection without compromising system performance and analytics quality remains equally important.

Statistics

Data volumes are constantly growing, but are budgets keeping up?

While the value of enterprise data may seem limitless, IT budgets have their constraints. Infrastructure costs will struggle to keep up with the growing demand for increased storage capacity and data sets.

“

Enterprises are generating and storing more data than ever before to support today’s digital business initiatives. IDC estimates that on average, enterprises can expect their storage volume to increase by 30% annually.

there is a solution whose effectiveness has been proven

Tape libraries are the most cost-effective and secure option for long-term data storage, offering maximum resilience to cyber threats and energy efficiency. Tape media have also become a key element in cloud and hyperscale infrastructures. As a result, the largest data centers on the planet actively use tapes.

Quantum Scalar tape libraries provide efficient, intelligent, and secure data storage on LTO tape media. Quantum Scalar solutions combine high-density, reliable hardware with intelligent software that proactively monitors the operation of each tape system. As a result, administrators spend less time managing tapes. Scalar tape libraries are the most secure tape systems on the market, thanks to unique features that protect data stored on tapes..

Our company provides:

A full range of Quantum Scalar tape libraries for businesses of all sizes: from small and medium-sized businesses to large corporations, high-performance data center owners, and computational labs. Scalability potential up to 540 PB.
Quantum LTO Ultrium tape media (up to the latest generation) are high-capacity, high-performance, and provide exceptional reliability in both standalone and automated environments for most backup or archiving tasks. Features include compressed capacity of up to 45 TB per cartridge.
Supply, installation, configuration, and support of Quantum Scalar solutions by qualified specialists.

Five reasons why Quantum Scalar solutions are the most secure

_

1

Security and recovery

The unique Quantum Active Vault software, available only in Scalar tape libraries, creates an ultra-secure, isolated copy of data. It forms a completely autonomous storage within the library itself, creating a protected partition immune to ransomware threats. The automated archiving function inside the library eliminates the complexities associated with manual tape handling or transportation, significantly reducing the risk of tape loss and damage both digitally and physically.

2

Data integrity

Data must be verified to ensure recoverability, and a proactive approach is essential for a reliable data protection plan. Extended Data Lifecycle Management (EDLM) ensures that data remains unchanged and readable through automated integrity checks. Advanced reporting provides insights into media, drives, and security for optimal system resource allocation, enhanced security, and improved budgeting and planning. Automated scheduling and report distribution save time

3

Password protection

With multi-factor authentication, you can protect the library's administrative account by adding an extra layer of security using a time-based one-time password. This allows data recovery via the web interface or the library's management panel.

4

Automation of encryption key management

The Scalar Key Manager solution, certified to the FIPS standard, simplifies key management, reducing the risk of data loss. The AES encryption standard with a 256-bit key length provides the highest level of security.

5

Proactive monitoring and diagnostics

Proactive monitoring and diagnostics ensure the continuous operation of the entire system, offering step-by-step recommendations to resolve issues before failures occur. Additionally, with our cloud analytics tools, you gain deeper insight into the status of your system through real-time monitoring and problem prediction and resolution tools.
