STORE AND ARCHIVE SIMPLY, AT ANY SCALE
Active
Circle
A standard x86 clustered node architecture that allows for multiple access and processing points and pushes back capacity limits.
Unlimited
space
Allows storage volumes to be increased, up to several petabytes, while ensuring continuity of service and without requiring shutdown of operating systems.
Expandable to
the Cloud
In Hybrid Cloud mode, data can be archived to a cloud pool for an off-site, disaster-proof copy — while a local copy is used by priority, keeping egress costs down.
Transparent
access
Active Circle provides a virtual file server with a single access method, regardless of the file's location: on disk, on tape, or in the cloud.
SECURE YOUR DATA
Protected Data
A standard x86 clustered node architecture that enables multiple access and processing points, pushing back capacity limits.
Unlimited storage space: scale your storage volumes up to several petabytes, with no service interruption.
Historized Data
In Hybrid Cloud mode, older files are automatically archived to the cloud with no capacity limit — freeing up your primary storage.
High availability
Active Circle provides a virtual file server with a single access method, regardless of the file's location: on disk, on tape, or in the cloud.
GUARANTEE INTEGRITY
YOUR DATA
Fingerprint calculation at ingestion
A digital fingerprint (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, xxHash) is calculated as soon as a file enters the system, then verified regularly throughout the file's lifecycle.
WORM Space
Files can be stored in WORM shares, where they can no longer be modified or deleted. These WORM spaces can be archived to WORM tapes, and the resulting archives cannot themselves be deleted.
Proof of integrity
Signed, secure logs can be generated to prove the integrity of stored files.
PROTECT ACCESS TO YOUR DATA
Access control
Data access can be controlled by user, source address, protocol, and destination address.
Secure protocols
Active Circle offers access to data via secure protocols (FTPS, HTTPS).
Encryption
Data can be encrypted as soon as it arrives on the system, using a key that is unique to you.
Authentication
Active Circle integrates with enterprise directories and delegates authentication to them.
Traceability
Data access (read, write, archiving...) is tracked in audit logs.
Segmentation
Data never appears all at once in storage spaces, but is segmented to preserve confidentiality.
