The core component of Managed Archiving is the Arcplace archiving Appliance, which is installed on the customer’s premises. The Arcplace Appliance collects, stores and indexes data based on pre-configured archiving rules. The use of a high-capacity, redundant storage system ensures that the Arcplace Appliance is able store very large volumes of data, while making it possible to quickly search for and retrieve this data.
In order to ensure disaster recovery and compliance, the Arcplace Appliance is connected via VPN to the Arcplace long-term storage infrastructure hosted in highly secure data centres in Zurich and Geneva. This infrastructure is used to secure encrypted copies of customer data and to ensure their recovery in the event of a disaster. Thanks to multiple redundancy and WORM capability, this storage infrastructure allows users to archive data in compliance with both Swiss and international laws and regulations.
