Quantum, Varonis Team to Maximize Data Protection for Customers (HITS)
Story Highlights
Varonis and Quantum announced a technology alliance to deliver secure data access, storage and archiving to customers. The integration of Quantum’s Artico™ active archive appliance and Xcellis™ workflow storage appliance with the Varonis Metadata Framework will enable joint customers to increase visibility and security for sensitive data and monitoring for all file storage, from primary through archive. Virtually every industry is experiencing exponential data growth, from video, sensor and machine-generated data. All of this data needs to be securely stored, protected and managed for potential future use and analysis, and the combined value of Varonis and Quantum brings crucial functionality to customers.
Artico is an easy-to-deploy, low-cost solution for long-term retention of large datasets, while Xcellis provides the greatest flexibility in scale and performance to meet the needs of the most demanding workflows.
Artico includes NAS connectivity for ease of integration, while Xcellis connectivity choices include NAS as well as LAN client, SAN client and Infiniband access for high-performance shared workflow and scalability. Both appliances provide a single point of access to data stored on different tiers, including disk, object storage, tape and public cloud. Automated, user-defined data management policies deliver data protection and disaster recovery, fast access to active data, and reduced costs by keeping less active data on lower-cost storage tiers.
“As enterprises grapple with a tsunami of data, the challenge is to manage it in a way that keeps valuable data available for collaboration, without exposing it to cyberattacks, theft and unintended use,” Eric Bassier, Quantum Senior Director, Data Center Solutions, said. “Varonis integrates seamlessly with Quantum’s multi-tiered storage to deliver comprehensive data protection and highly cost-effective storage management.”
Quantum’s solutions offer the appropriate storage platform to meet customer needs for performance and value, while Varonis adds critical security that protects valuable data against malicious threats
