Storage Management - Overview |
|
|
|
The Alero Content Storage Management (CMS) solution,
also known as "Alero Hierarchical Storage Management",
provides a consistent and secure way to archive any type
of content, according to security, retention, storage,
and regulatory corporate policies. It virtualizes the
management of one or multiple disparate storage devices,
simplifying the development, configuration, and
administration of complex solutions and delivering a
reliable, cost-effective, and scalable platform for the
short and long-term storage of any type of content.
Delivering fast and reliable access to unstructured data,
this solution is completely transparent to storage-intensive
applications. It automatically stores, migrates, and
caches data to the most appropriate media to meet storage,
access, and retention requirements without administrator
or operator intervention.
With built-in intelligent mirroring, redundancy and data
caching, the Alero CSM services guarantee 24/7 information
availability—critical for your disaster recovery strategy.
