StrongBox Data Solutions, an emerging leader in unstructured data management, just announced a new version of StrongLink during the recent IT Press Tour.This new StrongLink iteration adds LTFS support confirming that unstructured data management solutions must include this data instance if you wish to be considered by large corporations and research centers. It confirms the comprehensive capability of the product.
This is a huge differentiator with some other players that completely ignore tape targeting on-prem and cloud only.
The product offers a super set of features and especially includes a wide range of capabilities around metadata management. It invites users to build very optimized file data workflows to enable a horizontal cross platform multi sites storage service fueled by file, object, cloud and tape storage.
Wherever files reside, StrongLink is able to provide access via industry standard file sharing protocols and align value or interest in data with the storage layer in a scalable way.
The product is very intuitive with a pretty simple UI to manipulate data locations, create policies and globally manage the file data farm.
Also the product delivers data protection models with specific policies to remote StrongLink sites, clouds or tape libraries.
Technically the product can be deployed in-band or out-of-band operating on dedicated bare metal servers or installed as VMs. StrongLink moves data to location and avoid tiering concept as there are no stubs, symlinks nor agents. How the product behaves depends also on the deployment mode, for instance, in in-band mode the routing to file data is made by the StrongLink engine itself.
The company is today one of the most advanced product in the data management landscape delivering unique capabilities within one software solution completely hardware agnostic. With today's rapid data growth, it appears that StrongLink is a key product to bridge independent unstructured data silos whatever are the data sources.
