Physically Immutable Optical Archive Libraries

# Savartus - Immutable Data Archive – ELS Source: [https://savartus.com/solutions/enterprise-laser-storage/](https://savartus.com/solutions/enterprise-laser-storage/) ## Physically Immutable Optical Archive Libraries ### Secure Storage for Long\-Term Data Preservation ## Benefits: ### Secure - EMP\-proof and impervious to most disasters, viruses, or malware, optical discs leverage physical WORM technology which prevents data modification - Based on proven technology that has been used for decades to store sensitive data and are not susceptible to viruses or malware ### Longevity - Optical discs last for a minimum of 50\-100 years while other media types will need to be updated or replaced every 7 to 15 years\. ### Low cost - Requires virtually zero electricity while not being accessed \(vs\. tapes and spinning disks that require environmentally controlled facilities and spooling/spinning\)\. - Uses < 10% of energy required by traditional storage devices\. - Optical discs last 50 to 100 years, requiring fewer to no migrations for compliance vs\. other media types requiring whole or partial replacement ## Overview: - Optical storage, high density library product family- 7 library systems: 4 rack mountable, 3 rack size - 12 media disc cartridges \(similar in size to LTO\) - Cartridges are loaded to magazines with 30 or 36 cartridge slots - Capacities 0\.1 – 1\.6PB \(Blu\-ray\), 0\.2 – 4\.1PB \(Folio 500\), 0\.5 – 8\.3PB \(Folio 1000\) - \>\>50YR media reliability - Resistance against heat, magnetic fields \(EMR/EMP\), humidity - Minimal power consumption \(Blu\-ray: ~0\.5 – 1W/TB, Folio: <0\.5W/TB\) - Folio 500GB and 1TB media, upgradeable and backward read/write compatible - Compatible with any Operating System through WEB interface and optional CLI - Headless integration with applications with Glacier support - Use cases:- Long\-term archival storage - Compliance and retention mandates - Added storage class with physical WORM - Hybrid storage class with Glacier support  Enterprise Laser Storage Fully Immutable Data Archive Libraries System Overview Video  ## Frequestly Asked Questions ## Data Archive Total Cost of Ownership \(TCO\) Comparison: ### ELS\-4000 with 500GB Folio Optical Media  ### ELS\-8000 with 1TB Folio Optical Media \(Roadmap\)  ## ELS Library Product Portfolio:  ## SavartusGlobal Service and Support: - US\-based Service Operations Team​ - Installations, Preventative Maintenance, Break/Fix, Training​ - Professional Services & Applications Specialists​ - Savartus Technical Response Center \(TRC\)  ## ELS Architecture  ## ELS Schematic Diagrams
