Artisan Infrastructure, the leading innovator of
cloud infrastructure,
cloud management and
business continuity solutions, today introduced
Neverfail HybriStor
data protection appliances through channel partners. The new solution
addresses the capacity, performance, and interoperability limitations of
competitive products with nearly unlimited capacity expansion, scalable
performance, instant local/remote recovery, and a multi-vendor
architecture. This vendor agnostic approach uses open standards for
connecting to most backup and archive applications using an NFS or CIFS
mount. The high performance and cloud-scale product also delivers AES
256-Bit encryption for data security in-flight to meet the most
demanding compliance requirements.
"Worldwide purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA)
factory revenues grew 2.2% year-over-year totaling $813.6 million in the
third quarter of 2015 (3Q15)," according to the International Data
Corporation (IDC ) Worldwide Quarterly Purpose-Built Backup Appliance Tracker .
"Total PBBA open systems factory revenue grew 3.8% year-over-year in
3Q15 with revenues totaling $742.4 million while the mainframe market
experienced a decline of -12.3% for the same period. Total worldwide
PBBA capacity shipped for 3Q15 was just shy of 831 petabytes, an
increase of 22.4% year over year."
HybriStor is a next generation data protection
solution with PBBA capabilities that meets the most rigorous data
recovery requirements of businesses for recovery point objectives (RPOs)
and rapid recovery time objectives (RTOs). With nearly unlimited
scalability, the solution provides an answer to the problem of explosive
data growth which has slowed legacy solutions to a crawl and restricted
backup and archive windows for many organizations.
Benefits include:
-
Smaller backup and archive windows, improved recovery times and reduced storage consumption - Offers
up to 95% reduced storage data transmission and consumption by
deduplicating and compressing data before storing to disk. The result is
high performance, low memory demands, and massive improvements in
storage efficiency.
-
Improved WAN performance -
Reduces WAN consumption by transmitting only globally unique and
compressed data over the wire that alleviates the effects of latency,
maximizes bandwidth utilization and relieves network congestion.
-
Instant data recovery -
InstaCacheTM technologies enable automatic data retrieval from
cost-efficient deduped storage to high performance SSD storage for local
and remote instant data recovery.
-
OpenStack Swift object storage support -
Provides a NAS interface and works as a gateway to local OpenStack
Swift object storage. Performance can scale-up and capacity can
scale-out with deployment of additional object storage nodes.
-
Secure transmission of data - Incorporates advanced, military-grade AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission of data in-flight.
-
Consistent, familiar, intuitive management - Web UI supports mobile device access and delivers the same user experience across all of them.
-
Industry-standard management interfaces for maximum interoperability -
REST APIs enable easy integration with 3rd party management tools. NAS
interface with AD/LDAP support provides simple interoperability and
centralized user management. Eliminates vendor lock-in with support for
most data protection software solutions that use an NFS or CIFS mount.
The HybriStor appliance can be connected locally to
direct-attached storage (DAS) or object storage, providing unprecedented
RPO and RTO performance. The option to connect to object storage
provides significant cost reductions compared to traditional disk or
tape, enormous scalability for massive data vaults, and long-term data
retention for more reliable recovery.
"The Neverfail HybriStor appliance fills a critical
gap in many service provider offerings, allowing them to onboard
customers that want to use the cloud but do not want to replace their
current data protection software," said George Crump, principal analyst,
Storage Switzerland. "Artisan Infrastructure has tailor made the
solution for customers that demand performance and efficiency. Its
flexible design allows users to leverage their existing backup software
investment and choose the hardware platform that best meets their
performance, redundancy, and capacity needs."
"With the Artisan Neverfail HybriStor deduplication
system in place, we not only reduced our backup and replication times,
but also maximized our storage and bandwidth efficiency," said Eric
Chen, CEO, ProphetStor Data Services, Inc. "We're also more confident
than ever before in our backup and recovery process."
"HybriStor takes performance, capacity, and
ease-of-use to the next level, delivering an industry-leading secondary
storage solution that rivals any in the industry," said Chin Kuo, SVP of
Continuity Solutions, Artisan Infrastructure. "The solution overcomes
one of the biggest obstacles in object storage -- performance. By
removing this barrier, HybriStor is set to become the new standard in
backup and archive storage at a price point that is equally compelling."
Pricing and Availability
The Neverfail HybriStor data protection virtual appliance provides
customers with up to 100TB of free managed capacity, with an assumed
deduplication ratio of 10 to 1 and up to 10TB managed capacity per node.
