Komprise
Reclaim Primary Storage. Keep Your Data Within Reach.
Komprise and Spectra Logic
Spectra Logic and Komprise combine intelligent data management with scalable long-term storage to help organizations reclaim flash and disk capacity occupied by inactive unstructured data. Komprise identifies and moves qualified inactive data according to policy while preserving access, and Spectra Logic provides an economical, protected long-term home for retained data.
Together, Spectra Storage Reclaim™ Solutions with Komprise help organizations keep flash and disk focused on active workloads, reduce long-term retention costs, and keep retained data protected and accessible.
Komprise
Komprise Intelligent Data Management allows enterprises to discover, classify, curate, and move file and object data across hybrid storage. At the center of the approach, Komprise Global Metadatabase Service provides a unified view of unstructured data, enabling organizations to search, classify, and tag data across storage silos and turn those insights into policy-based actions.
These insights can drive automated workflows that transparently move inactive data to more economical long-term storage while preserving access for users and applications. Retained data remains available for future use, including AI, analytics, research, and compliance.
Spectra Logic
Spectra Storage Reclaim Solutions help organizations get more from the storage they already own by moving inactive unstructured data to a more economical, protected storage tier. This reclaims flash and disk capacity for active workloads while helping delay or reduce the need for additional storage.
With Komprise providing data intelligence and policy-based movement, BlackPearl Object Gateway provides Amazon S3-compatible object access and manages data movement to tape. Spectra Logic tape libraries provide scalable, cost-effective long-term retention, including protected, air-gapped storage that reduces exposure to online ransomware while retaining access and recall.
