Simplifies data management and provisioning
Pillar Axiom™ storage system arrays are managed by AxiomONE™
Storage Services Manager and extensive data management functions through
AxiomONE software components.
Therefore, system configuration is simple, controlled by flexible
Dynamic Performance policies, maintenance is effective and end-user
friendly through guided procedures, reducing the operational expense
and complexity associated with managing conventional storage products.
The modular architecture of Pillar Axiom storage system supports
multi-tiered SAN, NAS, and fixed content in a single storage pool,
enabling multiple tiers and applications on a single platform.
The innovative AxiomONE Dynamic Performance Manager software allows
customers to effectively deploy one multi-purpose system with a
common storage pool for multiple business applications without the
costs associated with different silos of storage.
AxiomONE allows customers to save and redirect IT dollars to other
areas of the business.
It achieves this through reduced time managing and overseeing data
storage, reduced power and space consumption by removing silos of
storage, cost-effective acquisition, maintenance, expansion and
ownership model.
AxiomONE Storage Services Manager
AxiomONE Storage Services Manager software and operating system
allows administrators to manage storage array and data resources
effectively through the intuitive interface, assign innovative Dynamic
Performance metrics for the storage allocated based on the business
application requirements and define storage automation parameters
through easy-to-use policies.
Key Software Features:
- Easy-to-use interface and workflow dramatically simplifies provisioning
and management of the storage array
- Flexible data protection options include Snap FS, Snap LUN,
and Volume Copy to ensure data availability and recovery options
- Guided Maintenance leads administrators through maintenance
tasks such as adding additional storage without requiring external
specialized assistance from the vendor or partner
- Configuration enables provisioning the corresponding storage
profile for the application being served, ensuring that service
level objectives can be achieved
- Built in service and support, allowing delivery of system health
and performance statistics to the customer and Pillar service
organization to help address potential problems before trouble
occurs
AxiomONE Dynamic Performance Manager
This policy-based information management component that delivers differentiated
performance levels based on customer requirements. The Pillar Axiom
manages system resources to simultaneously deliver multiple levels
of service from a single storage pool.
Using the Pillar GUI-based AxiomONE Dynamic Performance Manager software,
storage administrators can perform application-specific system tuning
by answering a few simple questions about the application, such as
priority level and file size.
AxiomONE Dynamic Performance Manager software then automatically
configures Axiom system aspects such as data placement on disk,
spindle striping levels, mirroring, priority queues, network bandwidth
and caching algorithms, thereby delivering unique application-level
Dynamic Performance based on business requirements.
With AxiomONE Dynamic Performance Manager guaranteeing a minimum
level of performance for each application being served, customers
finally have the capability to implement true storage consolidation
effectively and can reap the cost benefits.
AxiomONE Path Manager
Enabling a more robust, reliable SAN with dynamic multi-path load
balancing and failover capabilities,
AxiomONE Path Manager (APM) software from Pillar Data Systems™
delivers essential functionality for today’s enterprise-class
SANs where availability and performance is paramount. Additional
features include simplified SAN management through automatic recognition
of SAN hosts and client side log collection.
AxiomONE SecureWORMfs
Providing unalterable, disk-based data preservation, AxiomONE SecureWORMfs
delivers cost-effective, scalable, non erasable, non-rewritable
storage for fixed content by delivering industry accepted Write
Once, Read Many (WORM) technology within Pillar Axiom storage environments.
AxiomONE SecureWORMfs is deployed by organizations to enable archiving
solutions to comply with government regulations and compliance initiatives
(SEC 17a-4, UK Data Protection Act, etc.) or good corporate governance
requirements.
With simplified management, open protocol access, guaranteed unalterability,
data protection, and a shared storage pool with other storage services,
customers can deploy AxiomONE SecureWORMfs on a Pillar Axiom Storage
array to provide an excellent secure repository storage for their
archive and unalterable fixed-content environments.
AxiomONE Volume Replicator
AxiomONE Volume Replicator’s heterogeneous capability and
policy based management makes it a total solution to support all
replication requirements across multiple applications and multiple
heterogeneous storage arrays in diverse datacenters.
To the business, this translates to savings in software, hardware,
and operational costs. No longer are you required unique replication
solutions for each storage array and the associated licensing and
maintenance costs for each site. The policy based management allows
customers to balance costs and requirements of protecting individual
applications and their data.
AxiomONE File Replicator
The Pillar Axiom File Replicator (AFR) delivers a heterogeneous
file-mobility solution for replication, distribution, archiving,
and backup challenges required by enterprises to solve local and
remote data management needs.
This cost-effective and utilitarian solution provides policy-based,
secure, and reliable IP-based file movement over internal networks
and external networks, ensuring customers can meet effective recovery
point objectives.
AxiomONE Continuous Data Protection (CDP)
AxiomONE CDP provides an innovative continuous data protection solution
that enables customers to obtain excellent recovery point objectives
for a wide range of applications. The major benefit is ensuring
business with capability to have minimal to no loss of data due
to unforeseen local events such as viruses, data corruption, or
accidental user error.
AxiomONE Virtual Tape Library (VTL)
AxiomONE VTL provides virtual tape library technology that allows
end users to add the performance and reliability of Pillar Axiom
disk-based storage disks into their backup process by making disk
resources appear as tape resources to backup applications.
The unique advantages of AxiomONE VTL include capacity and performance
scalability and the ability of AxiomONE Dynamic Performance Manager
to allow the concurrent usage of VTL software with traditional storage
services (SAN/NAS). This is achieved without compromising performance
and availability while driving increasing storage utilization and
reduced management costs.
