The next generation of data archiving

So that archiving works like a dream and doesn't turn into a nightmare: What should an archiving system look like in a perfect world?

• The archive does what it is supposed to do: Store and protect data from different sources, for the long term, and meet all regulatory requirements
• The system identifies sources of error and fixes them independently
• You have no touchpoints and no workload with the system
• The capacity grows in relation to the requirements and can be extended easily and limitlessly
• The total costs are transparent and, most of all, low
• The system is robust, secure, and highly available
• The archive is designed for future changes and is independent
• Investments in software and hardware are protected
• You can rely on your archive and so focus on your core business

This scenario was the drawing board for the development of iCAS FS. It took us a lot of brainwork, passion, a little bit of cheekiness and many years of experience. We are proud of the result! Convince yourself and turn the perfect world scenario into reality with iCAS FS.

High availability

iCAS FS is a scale-out cluster in which the overall performance is provided by a large number of storage server nodes. This modular architecture allows for any expansion of capacity and performance. Thanks to the transparent read/write failover and active-active cluster, iCAS FS offers high availability for archiving your important business data. If one node is not available, data is written to another available node. As soon as the node is available again, the data is automatically synchronized and full redundancy is restored. iCAS FS switches smartly between synchronous and asynchronous replication, depending on the current latency between data centers, and allows stretched clusters over long distances (WAN copy).
