 The powerfile A3 active archive appliance delivers
an unparalleled combination of storage density, performance
and energy efficiency to organizations of any size,
providing enterprise-level scalability, and making
it an ideal choice for implementing a cost effective,
long-term storage solution for growing volumes of
fixed-content data.
The PowerFile A3 combines the powerful HybridOS management software with patent-pending hardware to provide the online access and search capabilities of disk, at the cost of traditional offline archives, while offering unmatched data integrity to ensure digital assets are protected.
With scalability from 4TB to 280TB (with data compression) in a standard 42U rack cabinet, the PowerFile A3 leverages standard network protocols including CIFS and NFS, along with standard data and Blu-day media formats, to prevent costly vendor lock-in and ensure long-term data accessibility and portability.
To assist with “green” initiatives for data centers, the PowerFile A3 delivers over 700TB per Kilowatt and consumes as little as 300W per standard 42U rack, using less than 5% of the power required for disk-based solutions, and 25% of MAID solutions, making it the most energy efficient storage solution in the industry.
