Parsec Labs Free Discovery Tool for Businesses Ready to Declare Data Independence

Originally designed for massive enterprises but now accessible to everybody as of October. 19, 2022, is Parsec Lab’s Free Discovery Tool.

It is the 1st tier of products for the company. The Free Discovery Tool can scan 10,0000 of files/second and build a detailed report on the total number of files, total number of directories, number of files in directories, average file size – and more usefully, the median file size, as well as the total size of all mounts in a network filer. This tool will export reports in json, xml, csv, and html.

“We built this product to handle the world’s largest data centers,” said Mark Clark, CEO. “Now, we want to offer that same scale and peace of mind to the rest of the world. Why don’t we price based on the amount of data like everyone else? Because that model will eat you alive with unexpected expenses, and then we will have to become a billing company instead of a software company. Our data protection and data moving prices are based on the number of concurrent workers. Each worker performs a ‘job,’ and that job performs an action on your network mounts/shares/buckets.”

Other license packs offered by the company include Fail-Safe Data Protection (S3 mobility + full restore for enterprise filers), S3 Mobility (includes file to cloud, cloud to file, cloud to cloud replication, and validated migrations to S3), Enterprise Data Mobility (includes validated migration, fast copy, replication, and third party data verification), Parsec Complete (total data independence), and Insight to Data (consolidated view of one or more filers. Total data, age of data, type of data).

“Parsec Labs is designed exclusively to assist customers who want to protect and mobilize data stored on network storage devices (NFS/SMB/S3),” added Clark. “We also provide fast off-line block transfers (iSCSi, NVME-TCP). Fiber channel is only available in our hardware appliances.“

License packs are delivered to virtual or physical appliances. Download from their launched website, set the network connections, and use their Discovery Tool for free. When you are ready to buy, register and license your appliance.
