With the GREEN-S3 Cloud, data management specialist Cristie offers its customers a cloud storage service that is consistently committed to a green IT concept and secure data storage at German locations. Cristie's climate-neutral data centers are located at the base of wind turbines and use electricity generated from renewable sources for the operation and cooling of the storage hardware. In order to meet the high standards of sustainability and data security on the level of storage systems and storage media, Cristie chose tape integration with PoINT Archival Gateway. Cristie has thus added a highly energy efficient, flexible and cyber resilient storage class to the overall GREEN-S3 Cloud solution.
"By using PoINT Archival Gateway, we can offer our customers a wide range of services with the GREEN-S3 Cloud. The S3 management software provides exactly the functionality we need to ensure our high security standards and at the same time to store our customers' valuable data in a particularly resource-efficient way."
