Spectra Logic Updates Its Vail Data Management Software

Spectra Logic announces enhancements to its Vail Data Management Software that unlocks access to cloud services, automates data placement across multiple clouds and sites, and streamlines universal sharing of data.

Delivering policy-based data orchestration, Vail streamlines workflows and reduces overall costs and complexities for organisations that want to leverage the power of the cloud. With Vail and Vail-enabled BlackPearl S3, organisations can take full advantage of cloud services -- no matter where data is created or located, whether in the cloud or on-premises.

New Vail enhancements provide:

The industry’s only fully qualified on-premises glacier-like solution that enables any software with an S3 interface to have direct access to local tape or nearline object storage with the use of S3 glacier-like commands that mimic AWS.
Simple S3 disk and S3 glacier tape to modernise data protection and backup applications.
Flexible implementation of either a global cloud-based object database for universal access or a local on-premises object database for optimized performance.
Support for AWS Object Lock using on-premises storage targets to protect data against ransomware and malicious activity.
Direct integration of any cloud services, including artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), with on-premises data using intelligent object synchronisation.
