Siegen, Germany, 5th November 2013 – Growing data volume and stricter obligations
regarding data storage require intelligent and compliant long-term archiving. PoINT Software &
Systems GmbH offers by its products PoINT Jukebox Manager and PoINT Storage Manager efficient
solutions for companies. By both products long-term archiving can be implemented efficiently into
already established workflows and integrated seamlessly into an existing storage infrastructure.
Access to archived data remains transparent.
Compliance and risk management demand storage and protection of company information against
unintended deletion up to methods for data security against deliberate modifications with criminal
intentions. Companies, depending on the branch, have to comply with specific regulations –
thus they have to follow compliant archiving principles. However they do not only comply with the
corresponding laws and regulations but they also benefit from functional advantages and reduce the
overall business risk. Potential dangers like data loss or manipulation are avoided and the
information stays available for long-term. Furthermore companies can include also internal
requirements into their long-term archiving concept.
For an efficient implementation PoINT Software & Systems GmbH offers, depending on the
requirements and the data volume to be archived, a manual and an automated solution: PoINT Jukebox
Manager supports optical storage and makes a TrueWORM-solution available by which data can be stored
unchangeable manually on a file system. By PoINT Storage Manager archiving is carried out in an
automated manner, depending on policies which have to be configured individually taking advantage of
all suitable storage systems like disk, tape, optical, object storage and cloud. By these policies
the administrator can define that only specific data is archived. The File Tiering solution has
additional functions like data protection and data security, which ensure that the archived data is
protected against modification and manipulation. Furthermore PoINT Storage Manager offloads the
primary storage by using File Tiering and thus cost-intensive storage extensions can be avoided.
