Quotium StorSentry

Continuous monitoring of all the tape archive infrastructure and actionable recommendations StorSentry captures information directly at the tape media’s and drives’ lowest level. StorSentry collects and processes this information related to the quality and performance of read/write operations, and provides users with clear options to keep their assets in good health. A real-time dashboard to anticipate degradations and identify the root cause of failures Using quality thresholds according to media group, StorSentry generates recommendations and provides all of the information needed to identify degradations and pro-actively take action to avoid failures. A complete operating history to ensure proper management of storage media capacity StorSentry is not solely limited to preventing the loss of critical assets, thanks to its operation record history and its reporting system. StorSentry represents a comprehensive solution to manage the capacity evolution and usage of tape library systems. Features:

• Assess the risk of losing their data stored on tape automation systems
• Verify the archive and backup storage system
• Automatically repair defective or poor quality elements

Benefits:

• Reduce risk of losing digital content by identifying issues on tape and drives before they become critical and put valuable content at risk.
• Migrate digital content at the onset of degradations to optimize cost and reduce risk.
• Reduce archive downtime by immediately identifying the root cause of problems upon tape automation failure, speed up diagnostics and improve system efficiency.
• Reduce tape archive costs by optimizing performance of the tape system having access to critical parameters such as data flows and tape drive usage.
• As tape capacities increase to hold multiple terabytes of data, loss of a single tape becomes completely unacceptable.
