PoINT Archival Gateway is a tape-based object storage system that receives data via the standardized S3 interface and writes it directly to tape. Our solution offers a high-performance and secure storage option for many use cases and large data volumes.
Use Cases
Backup and replication of cloud/object data to tape
Backups protect your valuable cloud and object data from loss, for example, due to ransomware. PoINT Archival Gateway supports you in additionally backing up your data to the classic backup medium of tape, which is characterized by standardization, cost-efficiency, and offline capability.
Archiving directly to tape via S3
PoINT Archival Gateway supports you in the secure and long-term archiving of large data volumes with features such as WORM protection and retention management. Archiving takes place directly via the S3 interface, and the data is protected against alteration and deletion.
High Performance S3 Storage on Tape
Unchecked data growth demands innovative storage solutions for handling these large volumes of data. PoINT Archival Gateway receives data via the S3 interface and stores it directly and securely on tape at high transfer rates.
Tiering on tape for on-premises object storage
Disk-based object storage systems should be regularly relieved of inactive and outdated data using storage tiering. PoINT Archival Gateway can be used as the target storage for offloading this data to tape.
PoINT Archival Gateway - S3 Object Storage with disk and tape
PoINT Archival Gateway – Unified Object Storage combines disk and tape storage classes under a single namespace. The software-defined S3 storage serves as secondary and archive storage for growing data volumes. Data can be moved between storage classes using AWS S3 Lifecycle Policies and stored in the optimal storage class at any given time.
