By means of PoINT Archiver files are moved to secondary storages and thus primary hard disk systems must be extended less often. This file based archiving solution enables various applications to use high-volume archival hardware, which leads to a more efficient operation of the system.
The energy consumption can be reduced significantly through the usage of tape and removable optical media when compared to pure hard disk systems.
In additional PoINT Archiver manages files on media which are not directly accessible (e.g. in a tape loader). This off-line media management offers an almost unlimited, cost-effective and secure archival storage.
