A Smart Way To Store Data

Data can take up a surprising amount of space. Moving the last few years (or even months) worth of it can make a big difference in your information technology (IT) capacity.

But you have to store it in the right place. Regulatory, compliance and audit requirements mean you need to keep it, and you need to find it quickly.

HP Archive and Compliance Services gives you storage infrastructure designed for data archiving. It provides cost-effective storage and data retention management throughout all phases of the data's lifecycle.

Structured to meet appropriate requirements of accessibility, integrity and recoverability, with usage-based pricing, these vital components provide key information technology to advance HP's vision of information lifecycle management (ILM).

Integrated Solutions Covering Any Data You Need To Store

As managed services, HP Archive and Compliance Services include integrated hardware, software and service solutions covering the entire range of storage archive architectures and information demands and are intelligently tailored to your business. Archive and Compliance Services is comprised of four packages:

  • Compliance Archive brings the functionality of Audit Protection but also adds immutable storage capabilities. This prevents data objects from being deleted or modified at the hardware layer retaining a historical copy of each version via write once read many (WORM) technology. This tier also provides reduced storage requirements through redundant data elimination technology.
  • Audit Protection Archive enables policy automation and provides WORM and redundant data elimination capabilities. This service maintains change logs to capture who changed files and at what time. HP offers this tier in a single-client dedicated model.
  • Base Online Archive is the entry-level archiving tier and provides long-term retention of inactive data online using high-capacity disk.
  • Base Offline Archive is the entry-level archiving tier and provides long-term retention of inactive data on offline media.
