PoINT Archival Gateway
In today's world, data is being generated faster and faster, and in increasingly larger volumes – especially in fields like research, media or diagnostics. The PoINT Archival Gateway, a software product that securely stores large volumes of data on tape storage systems at high transfer rates and in compliance with regulations, solves the resulting problem of storing and archiving all of this data. The PoINT Archival Gateway is a software-based, high-performance object storage system and supports tape libraries. This combination makes it possible to store and archive hundreds of petabytes of data. The decisive factor that makes this possible is the way the PoINT Archival Gateway quickly receives data and securely writes it to storage media in a format that means this data can also be quickly read again afterwards. The PoINT Archival Gateway high level of scalability means it can handle transfer rates of over 1 PB per day.
