Features and Benefits

Let's face it: You need to retain and retrieve critical data to meet user demand and compliance requirements. But the cost of retaining all this information without regard to its value is prohibitive. The innovative Sun Customer Ready Infinite Archive System provides you with an intelligent, tiered archive solution that's not only easy to use, deploy, and manage, but also cost-effective.


Key Benefits

  • Affordably and intelligently manages massive amounts of archived data
  • Provides transparent access across multiple tiers of storage
  • Optimized integration simplifies management
  • New GUI makes the system even easier to manage
  • Arrives at your datacenter ready to deploy

Pre-Configured, Tiered Storage Archive

You get fast access and cost efficiency

A single tiered archive forces organizations like yours to make a tradeoff between fast access time and cost efficiency. With the Sun Customer Ready Infinite Archive System, you get both fast access and cost-effectiveness. The system is pre-configured with fast access disk, high-capacity disk, and low cost tape storage technologies. What's more, the intelligent migration feature automatically migrates data from tier to tier according to policies that align with your organization's priorities.


New GUI Simplifies Management

Makes the system even easier to use

The Sun Customer Ready Infinite Archive System's new Web-based management GUI masks the technology infrastructure from the administrator, making the system easy to manage and expand because you don't have to deal with the underlying hardware configurations.


Policy-Based Migration and Data Management

Lowers operating costs

Sun StorageTek Storage Archive Manager (SAM) software reduces operating costs and unlocks the value of previously untapped archived data by providing rapid access and a consistent view of data across tiered storage. All data in the system is stored, tracked, and retrieved based on user requirements. Information is seamlessly and transparently available to users and applications regardless of where it is stored.

Sun StorageTek SAM software lowers costs by providing data classification and policy-driven, automated data movement across tiers of storage based on watermarks or length-of-retention-specified criteria. This significantly reduces the need to add more tier 1 disk storage and reduces management tasks by moving data to the proper storage tier device at the right time in an automated fashion.


Fully Integrated Platform Arrives Ready to Deploy

Ready to deploy, easy to manage

The Sun Customer Ready Program can custom-build and test your Sun Customer Ready Infinite Archive System and then deliver the pre-tested systems directly to you, ready to deploy.

Timesaving factory integration

Your Sun Customer Ready Infinite Archive System will be built and configured in one of Sun's award-winning, ISO-standard factories. All components are pre-tested, and the complete system is tested before shipment. Your specific configuration and data load can be done before shipment. We can even run your specific benchmark and acceptance tests to qualify the system.

Ready to deploy on arrival at your datacenter

Because the systems are factory integrated, they're ready to deploy on arrival at your datacenter. After a short period for acclimatization and site acceptance tests, the systems are ready for productive work.

Simpler, swifter, safer

Factory integration means no missing parts, no mountains of cardboard to dispose of, no reliance on local technicians, and best of all, no delay in becoming productive. Factory integration also ensures production-standard cabling and rack layout for improved maintainability, reducing the long-term cost of ownership.
