Data Lifecycle Management

Unleash Powerful Opportunities to Save

Stretching your storage budget has never been more important than today. If your Tier 1 storage systems contain unstructured data, such as images, email attachments and large files, or less frequently accessed archive data, S2A Extreme Storage unleashes powerful opportunities to save.

Unstructured data chokes Tier 1 storage capacity and degrades performance, as large content files and their data protection schemes quickly consume capacity. Rebuilding large capacity drives also puts application SLAs at risk. Another key issue is that conventional storage systems are too expensive for your large, unstructured data files. S2A enables you to reduce costs by migrating to Tier 2 storage and reclaim expensive Tier 1 capacity, thereby extending the life and ROI of your primary storage, while providing an economical way to scale capacity growth.

Policy-based hierarchical storage management capabilities and support for SSD, SAS and SATA in the same disk enclosure automatically place your data on the most cost-effective storage tier in S2A platforms. The S2A's industry-leading performance and capacity management significantly reduce systems, administration, floor space, power, risk and complexity.
