StorCycle is modern storage lifecycle management software developed from the ground up by Spectra Logic to help organizations derive maximum value from their data by identifying, migrating, accessing and preserving data on the right tier, at the right time, throughout its lifespan.
StorCycle helps customers identify what data can be migrated based on attributes like file age and size. The software then transparently moves data to a secure Perpetual Tier of storage, which includes any combination of cloud storage, object storage disk, network-attached storage (NAS) and object storage tape. Once data is migrated, it’s protected through multiple copies, verifications and checksums. With the use of HTML Links or Symbolic Links, and a web-based search, data in the Perpetual Tier is easily accessible by users in a semi-transparent or fully transparent manner. StorCycle also allows seamless migration to newer technologies as they become available.
Spectra Logic’s StorCycle storage lifecycle management software helps organizations reap long-term benefits from improved data access, control and protection.
StorCycle 3.2 is now available with Scheduled Delete
The latest release of StorCycle 3.2, now available, further enhances its modern storage lifecycle management capabilities. There is a robust set of new features in this release, but most exciting of all is the feature called Scheduled Delete. This feature allows customers to configure automatic deletions of data migrated/stored after they’ve been retained on a storage target for a preset period of time. Since StorCycle can archive to multiple targets, users may set varying retention policies for varying lengths. Users will get email notifications about pending deletions five days before data is deleted. Scheduled Delete effectively allows organizations to be more proactive in their storage management, easily reclaiming storage capacity by expiring files when they’re no longer needed. The new Scheduled Delete feature cements StorCycle as a powerful storage lifecycle management solution by enabling users to set up automatic data deletion for compliance and retention needs.
Other enhancements from the latest release include the ability to prioritize restore jobs, one-click job reruns, improved support for user-generated symbolic links, CIFS/SMB support with Linux and improved file search via background database indexing.
