FAQs

When is StrongLink relevant?

StrongLink is typically used in environments with:

  • Unstructured Data – Typically data volumes from 500TB and up
  • Multiple vendor storage types/media/protocols/locations
  • The need for storage technology migration for refresh or storage tier management
  • Data lifecycle management requirements
  • Problems managing seamless user access across different storage silos
  • The need to build an active archive – seamless offload to Cloud or LTFS tape accessible by users
  • The need to extend on-premises data management to include cloud-based storage

StrongLink FAQs

What are the main customer data storage challenges that StrongLink helps to solve?

  • Controlling storage costs, by seamlessly offloading data from primary storage to other storage choices
  • Not knowing exactly how active their data is, which department or project it belongs to, or which storage type it should live on at its current lifecycle stage
  • Ensuring that users can find their files, even when they’ve been moved to archives or other storage and without burdening the IT staff
  • Automating policy-based data movement, to ensure data is accessible to users on the right storage type at the right time, to increase user productivity while reducing IT management burden
  • Ensuring seamless data migration for tech refresh, tiering, or other storage optimisation can be done transparently to users
  • Enabling IT to manage multi-vendor storage environments in ways that must not disrupt their users and applications
