Archiware: P5 Software Suite V5.5 With Cloud Features

Archiware GmbH has released the newest version of its P5 software suite.

Prominent features in P5 version 5.5 include Backup to the Cloud, Client-to-Client sync, a choice between two archiving modes and extended cloud support for Amazon Glacier, Backblaze and Generic S3.

Cloud storage is an expandable and affordable offsite solution that facilitates data management.

Businesses can save hardware costs, reduce complexity and access data regardless of location. The P5 Suite version 5.5 optimizes and increases flexibility by introducing cloud storage as a new backup and archive target. In addition to Amazon S3, this version allows customers to backup and archive data to Amazon Glacier, Backblaze and Generic S3 cloud services.

A significant feature of P5 Suite version 5.5 is the choice between two archiving modes. The Pool format includes all the familiar, powerful features of P5 and supports disk, tape and cloud storage. The Object Format enables single-file access without P5 and share-ability for cooperative workflows in the cloud.

The Client-to-Client sync functionality simplifies data transfer between two machines. The P5 Suite version 5.5 eliminates server involvement during synchronization. The customer can alleviate the main server load and no longer requires intermediate storage.

Features of P5 version 5.5 include post-archive preview generation, clip handling and automatic sorting of cloned volume sets. In the P5 user interface, this version enables users to grant operating privileges and assign separate passwords to selected individuals. Additionally, the automatic backup of archive indexes improves the management and security of assets.

The P5 Version 5.5 is available as an upgrade or 30-day free trial.
