| Federated Architecture |
| Feature |
Description |
Benefit |
| Revolutionary new distributed architecture |
Arkeia has developed an all new architecture that allows enterprises to distribute index or catalog information across multiple locations. |
Improved control, better performance, less risky technology:
1) Distributed architecture allows IT Managers to backup remote office data locally to disk or to tape.
2) New architecture also means there is no need build out expensive bandwidth or hire local IT resource since data can remain local with central control.
3) Proven technology means the EdgeFort is a low risk solution, with SATA disk, LTO/DLT tape, leveraging existing networks etc. |
| Powerful new remote management |
Remote Management Module comes standard with each EdgeFort appliance, allowing each appliance to be monitored, diagnosed and managed from a remote location (such as an IT data center or enterprise NOC). |
Reduced cost because there is no need to have local IT resource to manage data protection. |
| Unique centralized management of multiple appliances* |
Central Control Module enables dozens or even hundreds of appliances to be managed from a single dashboard. |
Improved control through the central dashboard means better information via reporting on backup performance (backup window, disk and tape utilization, failed backups). Further, global data management policies can be implemented to ensure corporate policies and legal or regulatory requirements are being met. |
