Reliable Tiered Storage and Absolute Data Protection – Ideal Solution to Safeguard Digital Assets

KOMpliance is a comprehensive approach to secure storage; it is not simply where files are stored, it is how they are secured and protected. It is not strictly hardware and fundamentally does not require the purchase of additional hardware to protect and preserve business and mission critical data. KOMpliance is changing how companies protect their information, by minimizing the need to purchase dedicated storage hardware. With KOMpliance, organizations can simply create secure WORM storage volumes using their own SAN infrastructure, virtualized or otherwise, on demand.

KOMpliance is a flexible platform designed to adapt and embrace changes in technology and is available in various configurations: software for (VM) Virtual Machine, SAN Gateway for iSCSI and Fiber Channel Storage arrays, or as a turnkey NAS file server. Its patented technologies provide comprehensive data security without impeding users or the applications they use.

Combining KOMpliance with Dot Hill’s AssuredSAN 3000, 4000, or Pro 5000 series of storage arrays provides an effective secure storage solution that businesses in highly regulated industries can depend on to fully protect their data and their technology investments. The joint solution is ideal for budget constrained organizations facing increasing data storage demands and strict data privacy, protection, and retention mandates. The combined solution provides the maximum data security for any file type (document, image, rich media, etc.) and any critical business application (email, ECM, financial, etc.) in any physical, hybrid or virtual environment. “KOMpliance offers added data protection and security benefits that are critical to our customer base,” said Jim Jonez, senior director of marketing at Dot Hill. “Data is the lifeline of a company’s business and IT managers realize the critical need to protect and secure their data against all threats whether internal or external, intentional or accidental. KOMpliance is a simple solution to add security to the data stored on Dot Hill arrays used in virtual server environments and specific regulated industries to meet business compliance requirements.”

“DotHill’s AssuredSAN products deliver high reliability for critical applications, high performance for greater application productivity, and flexibility for future growth.. Our technology alliance will empower customers to secure their data using any AssuredSAN storage, to address a wide range of use cases including strict compliance requirements,” said Kamel Shaath, CTO, KOM Software. “A KOMpliance solution can effectively protect any data from any threat over an entire Dot Hill SAN in a virtual or physical environment for simple and affordable compliance.”
