The integration of Quantum’s Artico active archive appliance and Xcellis workflow storage appliance with the Varonis Metadata Framework will enable joint customers to increase visibility and security for sensitive data and monitoring for all file storage, from primary through archive.
Virtually every industry is experiencing data growth, from video, sensor and machine-generated data. All of this data needs to be securely stored, protected and managed for potential future use and analysis, and the combined value of Varonis and Quantum brings crucial functionality to customers.
Artico and Xcellis Enable Multi-Tiered Storage Approach
Artico is an easy-to-deploy, low-cost solution for long-term retention of large datasets, while Xcellis provides flexibility in scale and performance to meet the needs of the demanding workflows. Artico includes NAS connectivity for ease of integration, while Xcellis connectivity choices include NAS as well as LAN client, SAN client and IB access for performance shared workflow and scalability. Both appliances provide a single point of access to data stored on different tiers, including disk, object storage, tape and public cloud. Automated, user-defined data management policies deliver data protection and DR, fast access to active data, and reduced costs by keeping less active data on lower-cost storage tiers.
Quantum’s solutions offer the storage platform to meet customer needs for performance and value, while Varonis adds critical security that protects valuable data against malicious threats.
The Varonis Metadata Framework Platform
The platform is the foundation for a portfolio of solutions that collect, store and analyze metadata non-intrusively to protect organizations’ most critical and sensitive data. This distributed and scalable architecture was designed to accommodate big data processing from heterogeneous platform types – including Windows, NAS, SharePoint, Exchange, Active Directory, Unix, Linux, and Office365 – and present the data back through a single interface in Varonis DatAdvantage, which visualizes the activity for all users, across all platforms. Varonis Data Transport Engine automates retention, disposition and archiving with intelligent migration and configuration. Varonis DatAlert draws on continually updated threat models and automatically learns normal behavior, analyzes all access activity and only alerts on suspicious behavior – thus automating threat detection with predictive threat models built on advanced user behavior analytics, and machine learning.
Eric Bassier, Quantum senior director, data center solutions, said: “As enterprises grapple with a tsunami of data, the challenge is to manage it in a way that keeps valuable data available for collaboration, without exposing it to cyberattacks, theft and unintended use. Varonis integrates seamlessly with Quantum’s multi-tiered storage to deliver comprehensive data protection and highly cost-effective storage management.“
David Gibson, Varonis VP of strategy and market development, said: “Companies are contending with the fact that data is growing at unprecedented rates, increasing security and storage concerns. The interoperability between Varonis and Quantum will provide customers with the monitoring and protection of critical files and emails across active and lower-cost tiers.“
