Advantages of the Solution

  • Customisable metadata fields and menus
  • Thumbnails of images
  • Proxy clips of video files
  • Combined search
  • Long-term storage, LTO certified for 30 years
  • Tape cloning for maximum security
  • Tape parallelisation for maximum throughput
  • Combine with P5 Backup

A tape based Backup provides excellent protection against malware, cyber attacks and ransomware. The built-in air gap of LTO tape offers maximum security and an additional option for off-site storage. Together with P5 Backup, an automatic Backup for production data is a major pillar for professional data security and business continuity. Moving completed projects to a tape based archive preserves them for the long-term at unbeatable low cost. 

Additionally, investment in constant expansion of production storage can be saved because archiving is the best method to create space on high performance storage. It keeps all important data accessible in one place and reduces the risk of data loss. Archiving also reduces the cost of storage, since tape offers the lowest cost per TB of any medium. Actidata’s libraries can be expanded to hold up to 560 slots for 6.7 PB.

Archiware P5 Archive offers MAM-like features to make finding files easy.

To offer maximum data security, P5 Archive includes a cloning option, creating duplicate sets of tapes for off-site storage. For LTO tape, the parallelization feature provides scalability regarding performance. Multiple drives expand the number of backup/archive/restore jobs running simultaneously.

Actidata offers tape libraries for a broad range of requirements. Combined with Archiware P5 Archive and P5 Backup, the result is an easy-to-use, robust and scalable solution. Access and configuration via browser make it flexible and offer insight from anywhere. P5 supports all Actidata libraries making it the ideal combination for protecting and preserving data at reasonable cost.
