Nexsan Technologies, a leader in secure storage solutions, has announced the availability of its Assureon SA Archive Appliance.

Assureon SA Archive Appliance is a complete disk-based archiving solution for smaller enterprises, branch offices, and departments that need simple and secure archiving with rapid file retrieval based on key words or phrase searches. The appliance can handle up to 20 million documents.

Assureon SAÆs secure storage architecture ensures the long term integrity of all archival content through automated integrity checks and self healing functions. Utilizing content addressable storage (CAS) technology to simplify management and reduce the cost of storing important digital assets, Assureon SA provides a cost-effective alternative to tape and optical storage, and delivers fast, intelligent and affordable online access to archival information û simplifying the retrieval of digital assets required for corporate governance, compliance requirements, and electronic discovery.

Search capabilities of the Assureon SAÆs CAS architecture offer accurate results with contextual excerpts and summarization and highlighted query terms. Users can search for documents by date, special fields (such as title, location, size, and author), and keywords and/or phrases. Document-level security ensures that users will not see documents in a result set that they do not have permission to access.

ôDigital archives are not only growing in capacity, but also in the number of individual objects (files and associated metadata) that are being managed by IT. The Enterprise Strategy Group, in a digital archiving report, shows a 65 percent annual growth rate (CAGR) of all archived data between 2007 and 2010," said Mark Bowker, ESG analyst.

"By leveraging CAS technology to store files, images, recordings, email, and other fixed content as objects with a secure and unique universal identifier, small business users now have another option apart from traditional file system models,ö he said.

ôWith the Assureon SA Archive Appliance, Nexsan has delivered a complete hardware/software solution that is easy enough to use for those organizations that may lack extensive IT resources and expertise, yet provides powerful security and data protection that companies of all size require.ö

ôNexsanÆs Assureon SA Archive Appliance is a simple and highly effective way for SMEs and enterprise departments to protect, retain, search for and rapidly retrieve important digital assets,ö said Brendan Kinkade, vice president of Marketing at Nexsan. ôThe Assureon SA delivers everything that smaller organizations need in an archival solution û itÆs a plug-and-play system that is easy to use, doesnÆt require a lot of space, is highly reliable, and provides enterprise-class security at a fraction of the cost of comparable legacy solutions.ö

Assureon SA is a second-generation CAS appliance that allows simple integration for archiving, e-discovery, email and more. Its secure storage architecture delivers a comprehensive array of intelligent features including constant monitoring of file integrity, Lifecycle Management, file authentication, missing file alerts, and support for remote replication. Data integrity and security is assured with RAID 6 protection, which greatly reduces the risk of data loss (even if two drives fail) and WORM disk functionality (write once, read many) that provides non-erasable, non-rewritable functionality.

The Assureon SA Archive Appliance is available through NexsanÆs worldwide channel of resellers.
