ASTI Plasmon UDO Archive Appliance

ASTI Plasmon

Archive Appliance is specifically designed for the long-term storage of your valuable digital assets. Its unique architecture combines the performance and simplicity of network-attached RAID cache, with the longevity and authenticity of UDO to set a new standard for enterprise archival storage. Data is written to RAID disk for rapid access, and then migrated to secure UDO for long-term retention.ASTI Plasmon Archive Appliance Rackmount
