Komprise Enterprise Cloud Data Management With Support for User and Policy Driven Transparent Archiving

Komprise, Inc. announced two product updates: support for both user and policy driven archiving, and its standalone NAS migration solution.

As data growth continues to explode, businesses are looking for simple, efficient ways to manage the exponential costs of storing this data. The company enables customers to slash storage and backup costs by finding cold data across their NAS, and based on policies typically set by IT, offloading this data from expensive storage and backups into cost-efficient secondary storage.

In some cases, business users may want to archive some data themselves outside of a policy which is why the firm has added user driven transparent archiving.

Unlike the traditional data management approach of choosing between policy-driven or user-driven paradigms, the company’s Intelligent Data Management 2.9 supports both approaches. This empowers business users to leverage their knowledge of data relevance to help manage data. Users can analyse data growth, designate projects to be archived, and access archived data exactly as if it were still on the primary storage. Users can also do a ‘bulk recall’ of projects that are ready to become active again. Storage administrators and business users can now work together to modernise data management. The firm continues to deliver transparent archiving to both approaches so users access the moved data as before from its original location without business disruption.

The company has also launched NAS Migration 1.0, a standalone NAS migration product that enables customers to also use the firm’s on standalone datacentre consolidation/migration projects. Customers who start with NAS migration can upgrade to the firm’s Intelligent Data Management solution. The NAS migration solution is reliable, and affordable, that customers can use either as part of the overall the company’s Intelligent Data Management solution or standalone, at a fraction of the cost.

“We have embedded the Komprise NAS Migration capability into our professional services offerings and are able to ensure client NAS migrations at any scale are simple, predictable and painless. As a reseller, this enables us to differentiate in a crowded market,” says Koen van den Bruggen, CCO, i3 Groep.
