Advanced, Scalable Value Storage Solution for Long–Term Data Retention

Permabit Enterprise Archive™ is the industry’s most cost effective, enterprise class, disk–based storage system capable of archiving multiple petabytes of information.  The Data Center Series model 4010 applies patented data deduplication technology that helps companies achieve greater efficiencies demanded by today’s economic environment.  By optimizing the overall storage environment, Permabit delivers a storage solution that meets critical business objectives for secure, long–term data retention at an affordable cost.  By leveraging highly efficient Intel quad core processors and Seagate terabyte drive technology, Permabit Data Center Series Model 4010 improves overall archive performance by more than 70% while reducing overall power and cooling requirements.

About Data Center Series

Permabit Data Center Series meets critical data archiving requirements such as extreme cost efficiencies, scalability, security, availability and flexibility.  Enabled by a storage grid architecture, Permabit Data Center Series can scale from 32 TB to 4.6 PB of raw storage capacity, making it the industries only archive capable of managing the massive data requirements of today’s large enterprise environments.  Additionally, the Permabit system delivers the most advanced data protection available today with patented RAIN–EC technology, while combining space saving deduplication with multi–petabyte scalability through Permabit’s Scalable Data Reduction™ (SDR).

Included as an integral part of the Permabit offering is flexible WORM technology that adapts to regulatory changes and enables in place read/write to WORM conversion, an industry first!  The Data Center Series offers flexible replication techniques that allows point–to–point and many–to–one replication for the flexibility to optimize replication to your business needs.  Coupled with the grid architecture, WORM flexibility and Replication is automated system health monitoring that anticipates component failures and dispatches corrective maintenance.  Technology refresh is also designed in so that advances in performance and capacity are seamlessly integrated without user interruption making expensive data migrations a thing of the past.  With Permabit Enterprise Archive, companies take advantage of the most advanced, least costly, and most manageable archive solution, so they stay far ahead of the storage cost curve.

Permabit Data Center Series 4010 Features:

• Built–in Data Reliability:  RAIN–EC is a standard feature in the Data Center Series product line.  It utilizes a patented data protection scheme that is 250 times more reliable than RAID 6,designed to support current and next generation large capacity (multi–terabyte) disk drives with advanced Erasure Coding algorithms.

• Simultaneous Failure Recovery:  Can survive multiple simultaneous failures (multiple drives, power, CPU, memory, etc.) without data loss.

• Uncorrectable Read Error Recovery:  Robust recovery from uncorrectable read errors protects against the most common cause of data loss with RAID.

• Massively Scalable:  RAIN–EC allows storage to scale across an entire storage grid making it the most scalable data deduplication–based archive in the industry.

• Seamless Growth:  Storage capacity can be added one storage node at a time without ever having to take the system down.

• Mix and Match:  Today’s storage technology can work with future storage technology without ever having to perform a forklift upgrade.

• In–line Deduplication:  With Permabit’s Scalable Data Reduction (SDR) technology, data is deduplicated at the sub–file level, in-line in real–time allowing for data to be written directly to the storage nodes.

• Replication Flexibility:  Allows Point–to–Point, and Many–to–One Replication for the flexibility to optimize replication to meet business needs to replicate to any other site or cross–site.

• File lock–down:  File–level WORM capabilities insure data immutability and enables read/write co–mingling in the same systems to increase efficiency and eliminate separate WORM based systems.

• Convert to WORM:  A unique capability to convert a read/write volume to a WORM volume on the fly with no additional hardware or software needed.

• Encryption:  Provides federally approved AES cryptographic algorithms for both over–the–wire transmission and data at rest providing the highest levels of security.

• Snapshots:  Built–in snapshot capability allows for scheduled or ad hoc copy–on–write snapshots to be taken.  WORM policies can be applied to snapshots to enforce corporate governance requirements.
