EMD - Fast LTA

Hard disks are fast replacing tapes and optical media in all phases of data archiving. Yet most conventional harddisk systems are generally not suitable for long-term storage. Enter Silent Cubes: the first storage system to be expressly and categorically developed for the secure, long-term storage of permanent data.

  • Exceptionally secure against data loss, hardware malfunction and misconfiguration
  • Particularly low energy and operating costs, ultra-scalable into the petabyte realm
  • Full FAST LTA on-site service includes hardware replacement with zero data loss

Silent Cubes at Work

Silent Cubes integrate seamlessly into your network architecture

Silent Cubes help to free up your valuable online storage (SAN). Using archiving or HSM software, you then store less frequently accessed data on your specialized Silent Cubes long-term storage unit. This allows you to cut your costs by up to 80%.

  • Frees your online storage of rarely-accessed data, ensures ample storage capacity
  • Substantially reduced acquisition, administration and energy costs
  • Reduced data volume shortens your online storage backup and restore times
  • Silent Cubes archival storage is ultra-secure, easily replicated, and needs no additional backup

Regardless of which archiving, DMS or HSM solution you use, and whether your archiving needs encompass medical PACS data, emails or other documents, Silent Cubes integrate seamlessly into your infrastructure.

The Silent Cubes storage system consists of a Head Unit (also available as a version for VMware® in virtual server environments) serving as the interface to your network, plus up to 128 Silent Cube storage units.

Individually configurable volumes (reserved storage areas) and network shares (with variable access rights) ensure problem-free interoperability with software solutions.
