El Fresko Technologies launches next-generation archiving and data protection solution
MagnaStor® FS Archiver creates a compelling managed service opportunity
CALGARY, March 9 /PRNewswire/ - El Fresko Technologies is pleased to unveil
MagnaStor® FS Archiver, an archival storage solution that ensures the
long-term preservation and integrity of digital information to protect
organizations from corporate, legal and compliance risks. Ideal for
small and medium-sized businesses, MagnaStor FS Archiver has a robust
set of features, including WORM data capture and secure, real-time
replication to the cloud. With automated migration of static data from
more expensive primary storage systems to archives, organizations can
also improve backup and recovery efficiencies by up to 90% as static
data is eliminated from repeated full backup cycles.
"Business data volumes are growing exponentially as organizations of all
sizes embrace new online tools to connect and communicate. As a
result, vital business data has evolved beyond simple documents and now
includes vast amounts of static unstructured data in web sites, blogs,
online chat logs and call center recordings. It is imperative that
companies have an effective data management strategy in place to
protect themselves against unanticipated corporate, legal or regulatory
challenges," said Mark Fowlie, CEO of El Fresko Technologies. "With
MagnaStor FS Archiver, it is simple and cost effective to implement a
next-generation solution that protects all of a company's digital
information and ensures that it is always available, non-alterable,
searchable, verifiable and recoverable."
"MagnaStor FS Archiver represents a new opportunity for managed services
providers like Digitally Accurate and we are excited to make the
product available to our customers," said Stephen Wagner, President of
Digitally Accurate, a leading provider of managed services and IT
solutions. "As business communications evolve and generate
ever-increasing volumes of data, we see a very real need for improved
information management both in terms of storage efficiencies and to
reduce corporate, legal and compliance risk."
Archives and backups are complementary
Backups are essential for disaster recovery, but can consume significant
IT resources to properly manage, especially when data is scattered
across multiple workstations, servers, and distant networks. Industry
surveys show that up to 90% of the data produced daily, and
subsequently backed up, is rarely changed or accessed after being at
rest for more than a few days. By automatically consolidating this
static data to a MagnaStor archive, the efficiency of backups and
recovery procedures for the remaining 10% of active production data is
greatly improved.
"Confusion still exists for many end-users when it comes to the
different roles of backup and archive. An archive solution such as El
Fresko's MagnaStor FS Archiver can provide critical compliance with
industry regulations, corporate governance, legal e-discovery, or
'just' long-term data retention and availability. Both backup and
archive remain key components of an organizational data protection
policy, but mistaking one for the other can prove costly," said Dave
Pearson, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Storage & Networking at IDC Canada.
Some of the key benefits of MagnaStor FS Archiver include:
-- WORM protection on magnetic media ensures all content is
preserved and unalterable
-- Data is always online, fully searchable and cannot be deleted
-- Real-time, secure and encrypted replication to the cloud
eliminates risk of data loss while satisfying strict privacy
regulations
-- MagnaStor Timeline records the details of every file update and
allows all files or any individual file to be reviewed or
recovered to its exact status at any point in time
-- Policy-driven data governance follows the data wherever it is
located; even privileged users cannot disable or circumvent
controls
-- Background health and integrity monitoring with automated
self-healing procedures
-- Digitally signed audit history enables non-IT personnel and/or
external auditors to verify the chain of custody of any file
Pricing and Availability
MagnaStor FS Archiver is available immediately. Additional information
and pricing is available from El Fresko.
