ProStor Systems (www.prostorsystems.com) announced that its InfiniVault archive appliance has been qualified as compatible with Rocket Software’s ARKIVIO auto-stor product. It provides customers with an archive and compliance storage system that provides high performance and lower costs in demanding network storage infrastructures.

Rocket’s Arkivio team develops and provides Lifecycle Management solutions that automate the management of data and information to create the most cost-effective storage environment for companies’ growing data needs.

Arkivio auto-stor is the first solution of its kind to use unique customer data value scores to drive storage management solutions for consolidation, disaster recovery optimization, data retention management, online archiving and capacity management of a tiered-storage infrastructure.

When combined with ProStor’s InfiniVault, the interoperable solution provides users with a secure and reliable method of archiving information.

“We partner with leading companies, system integrators and other technology vendors to provide the industry's most comprehensive Information Lifecycle Management solutions,” said Bob Grewal, VP of Arkivio sales at Rocket.

“By combining the power of ProStor’s InfiniVault with Arkivio auto-stor, we are redefining storage management for medium to large enterprises, enabling them to automate the discovery, classification and placement of data over its lifecycle to the most appropriate storage resource.”

“Our mission is to ensure compatibility between InfiniVault and as many industry partners as possible to provide our customers with seamless system integration,” said Bob Williamsen, marketing VP at ProStor Systems.

“Arkivio auto-stor, coupled with InfiniVault, allows IT administrators to better manage and protect their business information across its entire lifecycle.”

ProStor’s InfiniVault is a digital archive and compliance solution that reduces storage costs by combining long-term data retention, regulatory compliance, automated data archiving and disaster recovery protection in a single, simple-to-deploy and easy-to-use appliance.

By leveraging RDX removable disk technology, ProStor has created the world’s first archive system that combines the performance and rapid retrieval of conventional hard disk drives with the unlimited capacity scalability and disaster recovery protection of removable media but with a system design that is far more reliable than tape and much lower cost than fixed-disk archive systems.
