Privacy –
Integrity – Longevity
Most
storage systems provide you "hope" - hope about your data privacy, integrity and
longevity. But there is some data that demands guarantees.
Can you guarantee a file. . .
has not been tampered with?
is safe from prying eyes?
is not corrupted over time?
What you need is a storage system that is as
secure as a safe deposit box and as easy to access as your wallet. Nexsan’s
Assureon online disk storage archive provides the privacy, integrity and
longevity of a digital safe deposit box with the high speed access of disk drive
technology.
Assureon assures Privacy
Assureon ensures the privacy of data with innovative security features
Data Separation and
Security
Every user or department can have their files in their own virtual safe deposit
box. Within Assureon, your data is logically and physically separate from the
rest of the data ensuring privacy and security.
Access Audit Trail
Assureon establishes an unalterable audit trail for the life of an archived
file. Every time a file is accessed, a record is kept of who accessed it and
when it was accessed.
Assureon assures Integrity
Assureon ensures the integrity of data with next generation self-auditing and
self-healing technology
Fingerprint &
Integrity
When data is archived, it is assigned its own unique fingerprint that stays with
the file through its life cycle. If a single byte ever changes, the fingerprint
will change. Revolutionary safeguards have been put into place to ensure that a
file will retain its exact fingerprint through its life cycle.
Self-Auditing and
Self-Healing
Assureon continually monitors files for fingerprint discrepancies protecting
against tampering, viruses, corruption, accidental or deliberate deletion and
theft. If discrepancies are discovered, Assureon notifies you and automatically
self-heals the file.
Assureon assures Longevity
Assureon ensures the longevity of data with industry-leading file immutability
technology
File Availability
Audit
Assureon continual checks to ensure all files are present. If a file is missing,
Assureon notifies you and automatically returns the file to its original state.
Automated Retention
and Deletion
In a new world of regulatory compliance, you need to guarantee the retention and
deletion of files. With automated integrity management and file immutability
technology, Assureon protects against accidental or unauthorized file deletion
and ensures you can retain files for compliant or flexible time periods as well
as delete them when their retention period is over.

Assureon Advanced Features
 |
Single Instance
Store: Assureon's CAS technology enables single instance store,
whereby only one copy of a data object is kept. For example, if
different individuals in multiple departments are all saving the
same PowerPoint presentation, Assureon can identify that they are
duplicates based on their CAS address, and only store one copy
resulting in less storage needed, reduced network bandwidth and
overall cost. |
|
|
|
|
|
Authentication and
Integrity: Assureon technology verifies that all files and file
metadata has not been tampered with or corrupted. |
|
|
|
|
|
Immutability: An
object placed under Assureon management cannot be changed or erased
until the end of its retention period. |
|
|
|
|
|
WORM disk
functionality: the Assureon system provides Write Once, Read Many
functionality |
|
|
|
|
|
Business Continuity
Protection: Assureon supports remote replication of assets across
the WAN and can be configured toenabling usersto keep duplicate
files at a remote site. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fail-safe CAS
Technology: Assureon utilizes a dual cryptographic process (hashing
algorithm) to create its unique CAS address, which ensures the
integrity of the file and no loss of information through potential
data collisions. |
|
|
|
File Level Retention Enforcement:
Assureon enforces retention polices at the object level allowing
different retention periods to be placed on files based upon their
importance to an organization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assignment of Retention Periods:
Assureon will assign a retention period based either upon a 3rd
party application (ex. document management system or an email
management package) or Assureon can place the appropriate
retention policy based upon its own file watcher program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Access Speed: Assureon enables
immediate online access to reference data as opposed to
traditional offline storage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enabling Information Lifecycle
Management (ILM): ILM requires more than storage hardware and
software to be successfully implemented. Assureon is a powerful
tool that automates the operational steps (Classify, Place,
Protect, Archive, Access, Expire) of the lifecycle process for
reference data within an organization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Audit Trails for
Compliance: Assureon meets many requirements of the numerous
compliance laws and privacy regulations including:
. Digital Time Stamped Records - a requirement of FDA regulations
. Serialization - a requirement of SEC regulations.
. User Access Trail - a requirement of HIPAA |
