HPE iTernity: технические характеристики и документация

iTernity

Legacy archive storage systems are far too expensive, require up-front overprovisioning, lock organizations into a single hardware vendor and limited storage devices, do not scale well and require too much manual effort to maintain. Software-Defined Archiving (SDA) overcomes these storage issues. 

iTernity & HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) deliver proven, enterprise-class storage solutions specifically designed to provide data availability and integrity, as well as data privacy and retention management for unstructured, file-based application data. Healthcare institutions, public organizations as well as enterprise customers must comply with a growing number of regulatory requirements. Organizations can only face these requirements with an effective and certified archiving platform that minimizes the business risk of data loss or modification. 

iTernity develops software-defined archive storage solutions securing long-term data integrity, privacy, availability, and regulatory compliance:

• iTernity iCAS FS is a scale-out platform including optional WORM functionality and retention management. Starting with 20 TB and scaling without limits, the software-defined storage platform ensures low TCO, cloud experience on-premises and a zero-touch operation.
• iTernity iCAS is a middleware solution for WORM archiving and retention management of application data. The software solution integrates perfectly into existing and heterogeneous infrastructures and supports the complete HPE storage and server portfolio.

 iTernity solutions offer the flexibility to address various industry use cases (Healthcare, Financial Services, Manufacturing, LifeScience, Public...) and technology approaches (scale-up vs. scale-out, Windows vs. Linux based).  Architecture approaches can be standalone application servers with DAS or combined with any HPE storage solution or the cloud with iCAS, or a scale-out platform based on standard x86 servers with iCAS FS. iCAS FS is a "Veeam Ready - Repository" qualified backup target. 

120+ business applications are validated for the iTernity archiving solutions to enable the creation of a central archive storage solution for various applications and data assets, supporting unrestricted growth up to the Petabyte range. Combined with HPE Storage, iTernity solutions provide open, flexible, and expandable long-term archiving for securing and protecting your business data. The solutions address corporate and regulatory compliance requirements enabling simplified and cost-efficient archiving. iTernity products are available on the HPE price list through the HPE Complete Program and via HPE GreenLake.

Software SKUs

iTernity iCAS - Archiving Middleware

iCAS is a flexible middleware for retention management & WORM storage that supports the full portfolio of Hewlett Packard Enterprise server and storage products: HPE ProLiant and Apollo Servers, HPE 3PAR StoreServ, HPE MSA, HPE Nimble, HPE SimpliVity, Scality, SUSE, Cohesity, and Qumulo. 

With reliable features for legally compliant archiving, iCAS provides data integrity and long-term availability. Flexibility and openness of the solution protect your investments and provide more efficient usage of storage capacities, reducing your total operating costs (TCO). iCAS is based on open industry standards, which enables your data to be transitioned to different storage infrastructures or future technology generations over time, avoiding the migration and cost traps of proprietary hardware-based archiving systems.

Federally mandated retention periods can be managed flexibly with iCAS for each file. Deletion is not possible before the retention period has expired, except with the optional "Special Delete Manager". With the self-healing functionality, damaged files can be replaced with valid copies and long-term data integrity ensured. Conformity with respective regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), EU-GDPR, EuroSox, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 17a-4(f), Basel III, etc., can be achieved. iCAS has been audited by KPMG. Included AES-256 encryption provides additional data security. 

More than 120 ISV applications support iCAS as archive backend. This provides an extremely flexible solution to address the archiving needs for different data types and applications on a single platform. These applications range from document management systems (DMS or ECM) to PACS and other applications that interface directly with enterprise applications such as Microsoft® Exchange, SharePoint, or SAP®. iCAS can be used for various use-cases in a wide range of industries. Customers in healthcare, manufacturing, financial services or governmental institutions equally benefit from the adaptability to their particular needs.

Multiple iCAS licensing options are available to flexibly match the deployment and volume of archive data. For huge data amounts, the iCAS CPU license (volume flat) might be an alternative, as it covers unlimited archive growth up to the Petabyte range. Hardware, software, and training investments are protected over the long term as iCAS can be integrated into virtually any environment. iCAS with HPE Storage can be seamlessly adjusted to changing business needs. When performance or storage volume needs increase the unused infrastructure can be easily adapted. iCAS is also available via HPE Greenlake.

iTernity iCAS FS - Scale-out Archiving Platform

iCAS FS is a scale-out platform for long-term archiving and backup storage, running on industry-standard x-86 servers like HPE Apollo and HPE ProLiant servers. The software-defined storage platform scales without limits starting at one node and 20 TB and ensures low TCO, great ease of use and enormous reductions of the time to manage for customers.

A growing number of organizations are struggling with the choice between public cloud and on-premises storage to meetthe archival and backup storage needs of the business. iTernity and HPE provide a new choice that combines the best of both alternatives - low-cost on-premises archival storage hardware with a cloud on-premises deployment and maintenance model for compliance-driven archival workflows: low cost on-premises storage that scales without limits with a zero-touch support model and built-in compliance capabilities including WORM, retention management, and end-to-end encryption. The zero-touch deployment and maintenance model of iCAS FS virtually eliminates the complexity associated with supporting the archival needs of the business.

Leveraging iTernity's heritage of developing archival software solutions for compliance-driven applications and industries, the iCAS FS platform supports a variety of compliance features that are available at no additional cost, like encryption, WORM storage, retention management, asynchronous replication, and ransomware protection. A KPMG audit has confirmed that iCAS FS is GDPR compliant. The audit includes confirmation that the iCAS FS "Special Delete" feature meets the GDPR "right to be forgotten" compliance mandate.

iCAS FS is a 'Veeam Ready - Repository'-qualified backup target (Linux Repository), which covers various use cases around long-term data storage, compliant archiving and secure backup storage.

iCAS FS is based on a hardened Linux operating system and supports SMB 3.0 as well as NFS and S3 in the front-end. The platform makes it easy to stretch a single cluster to distant data centers with asynchronous replication and an active-active cluster. iCAS FS is licensed based on the managed storage volume (raw hard disc volumes). There are three license articles and the corresponding support and maintenance articles. The base license is mandatory for each separated cluster. All licenses are perpetual. iCAS FS is also available via HPE Greenlake.

If iTernity has given a guarantee iTernity shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions.

The Licensee is advised to make back-up copies of the archived data at regular intervals. In the event of any loss of data iTernity's liability shall be limited to the typical replacement costs that would have arisen had back-up copies been made regularly in a manner that is commensurate with the risk. This limitation does not apply in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of iTernity. Any subsequent claims for damages shall be time-barred within the statutory periods. Unless otherwise provided above, claims against iTernity for damages arising out of a breach of duty are excluded.
