Cost efficient
ScoutAM allows large storage sites to operate their own infrastructure with cloud scale cost efficiency. Versity sites can obtain TCO levels up to 5x lower than Amazon Glacier, while delivering unlimited amounts of data to end users over high-speed local networks without unpredictable egress or transaction fees.
Future Proofed
The ScoutAM platform enables large storage sites to add, change, and mix Dell hardware components or Dell back-end storage systems to take full advantage of cost and performance improvements with changing workflows.
Hybrid Cloud
ScoutAM provides enterprise class performance natively for both traditional on-premises tape systems and private or public cloud systems from a single application. This enables background data migrations to the cloud, or the hybrid use of both cloud and on-premises storage to accomplish different goals such as accessibility and disaster recovery.
Transparent interface
ScoutAM supports standard filesystem read and write workflows with a transparent interface. Users and applications can locate archival files and objects as if they were local copies by interacting with online metadata. When users drag and drop files, or applications read data, the retrieval is orchestrated by ScoutAM, and the data is progressively read before it is completely staged back from the archival media.
