Enable management of data that has no explicit retention period, such as employee (as long as employed) and customer (as long as account is open)
Manage documents that have a specific retention period but can be terminated early due to certain events (for example, mortgages or financial time deposits)
Manage documents that have no specific retention period (for example, insurance policies)
Protect these records from deletion until a specific event occurs
Data encryption
Support your company’s ability to protect data when transmitted over network or saved to disk or tape
Supports enhanced security for businesses via 128-bit AES or 56-bit DES encryption technology
Tape encryption with TS1120 without any server performance degradation
Tiered storage management
Enable data management on multiple tiers of storage (disk, tape and optical) to provide a more cost-effective solution. It is costly to keep all archived data in nearline storage throughout its retention period. DR550 is designed to enable customers to take advantage of a storage mix as their archiving repository to contain costs while leveraging storage technology for optimum usage.
Data protection policy enforcement
Maintain data in non-erasable and non-rewritable formats
Data deletion prevention
Helps protect data by preventing explicit data deletion before the retention criteria expiration
Deletion hold
Allow a designated retention date to be suspended through a deletion-hold management feature in the event that a record or set of records must be retained for legal, audit or other reasons
System Storage Archive Manager Client
Permits users to automatically archive files from their workstations or file servers to data-retention protected storage, and to easily retrieve archived copies of files to their local workstations or file servers
Disaster recovery protection
Helps protect customer data during disasters
Can use tape libraries using advanced TS1120 or LTO GEN 3/GEN 4 technologies with WORM capabilities to provide efficient and cost-effective replication of the data objects and the DR550 database to provide recovery in the event of a failure or the need to relocate to an alternate facility
