A unified, flexible approach to operational challenges and compliance needs

The Solutions
N series archive and compliance solutions eliminate the need for separate storage silos, and they bridge the gap between point solutions for archive and compliance. Furthermore, they enable a single architecture to be used across primary and secondary storage regardless of protocol (for example, NAS or SAN).

The N series unified storage approach provides customers with a lower total cost of ownership and simplified management without sacrificing performance. Utilising an open-standards approach, N series solutions eliminate the need to write to proprietary APIs,
thereby reducing integration costs and enabling companies to aggregate all archive and compliance initiatives enterprise wide to a common flexible platform.

The Benefits
Lower cost of ownership leverages the same infrastructure for primary and secondary storage, greatly lowering total cost and delivering consistent, "no compromise" performance that far outpaces the competition.
• Flexible and extensible: The unique architecture enables mixing and matching of protocols, retention policies, and security models within the same array.
• Integrated solutions: Standards-based integration with major archiving applications minimizes cost and complexity.
• Future proofed: Delivers today on long-term data retention needs for security, scale, access control, performance, and total cost.

By implementing the unique N series architecture, organisations receive a highly flexible storage platform with the capability to run all major protocols, designate compliance and archive volumes, and selectively encrypt data, all within the same array for a unique single-box solution. N series addresses the following archive and compliance concerns.
