Architectural Considerations for Archive and Compliance Solutions

NetApp

Historically, tape has been the archival medium of choice. Today, tape continues to enjoy a reputation as the lowest cost option for archive and compliance needs. Dramatic decreases in the price of disk storage combined with the mounting costs of managing, vaulting (either on-site or off-site), and retrieving information from tape has made disk-based archive and compliance an attractive alternative for today’s archive solutions. As part of the ideal architecture, disk-based archive and compliance solutions provide a huge advantage in cost and time efficiency. A typical disk-based archive and compliance architecture includes the core storage system, a unified operating system, and support for multiple protocols. It must be able to scale to meet growth demands, and it must be flexible enough to run primary and secondary storage on the same machine (a single-box solution).
