Data Domain Retention Lock Software

Deduplication Storage for Active Archive Protection

IT governance policies require that critical business records, files, or e-mail be retained for specific periods of time. Ensuring that these policies are being implemented and enforced is an ongoing challenge for IT staffs in all industries.

Data Domain deduplication storage systems with Retention Lock software enables users to easily implement deduplication with file locking to satisfy IT governance and compliance policies. IT administrators are given the operational flexibility required to efficiently run the enterprise on a day-to-day basis, all at the right cost.

Key Features

  • Electronic Data Shredding: The industry's first inline deduplication storage solution to enable electronic data shredding on a per-file basis ensures that deleted files have been disposed of in an appropriate and permanent manner, in order to maintain confidentiality of classified material, limit liability and enforce privacy requirements.
  • Enforced Retention for Active Archiving: Files are retained on disk in a non-rewriteable and non-erasable format; retention parameters can be set on a file-by-file basis; minimum and maximum retention periods can be set globally.
  • Operational Flexibility: Changing regulations and policies can be addressed quickly. Administrators can easily react to changes in security or retention policies.
  • Interoperability: Data Domain systems are compatible with leading archiving applications from EMC, Symantec, CommVault, AXS-One, Arkivio and more.
  • Storage Efficiency: Data Domain high-speed inline deduplication saves up to 80% of disk capacity for archived data and reduces the demand for data center space, power and cooling for disk-based data retention.
  • Data Integrity: Data Domain Data Invulnerability Architecture provides continuous recovery verification, fault detection and healing, as well as dual disk parity RAID-6.
