Description:	PowerFile’s Active Archive Appliance™ (A3) is ideal for medium and large organizations that currently leverage Network Attached Storage (NAS) for primary and/or secondary storage and are struggling to find a cost effective, long term archival solution for storing growing volumes of fixed digital content. The A3 combines the powerful ArcOS™ management software with patent-pending hardware to provide the online access and search capabilities of disk at the cost of traditional offline archives all while offering unmatched data integrity to ensure your valuable digital assets are protected. Unmatched Price/Longevity The A3 was designed from the ground up for less frequently accessed fixed content and therefore offers nearline access to information at a total cost of ownership (TCO) that is 1/10th that of a comparable disk-based system. Data Center Density The A3 makes sure your company utilizes every square foot of your valuable data center by delivering up to 280TB per standard 42U rack. Nothing Proprietary The A3 leverages standard network protocols along with standard data and media formats to help you avoid costly vendor lock-in and ensure long-term data portability and accessibility. Best-in-Class Data Integrity In addition to extensive qualification of “archive-grade” media, PowerFile has developed its patented Extended Verification and Self-healing Technology (EVAST™) to create a storage system that is 100 times more reliable than enterprise tape or dual-parity RAID 6. What's more, the optional Touchless DR™ WAN Replication feature automatically mirrors data offsite for disaster recovery. Industry-Leading Energy Efficiency By delivering over 350TB per Kilowatt and consuming less than 300W per standard 42U rack, the A3 uses 5% of the power required for disk-based solutions making it easily the most energy efficient online storage solution in the industry.
