Overview
The SGI InfiniteStorage 10000 delivers unrivalled storage density along with the performance increasingly demanded by today's enterprise data environments. The SGI InfiniteStorage 10000 provides customers with a unique combination of scalability, high-performance and robust data protection in a cost effective system. As a nearline storage target, the SGI InfiniteStorage 10000 is an ideal way to solve the problem of storing less frequently used data that still needs to be accessed quickly on demand.

Fast, easy access to archived data
Regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley have made data permanence a key business requirement. Organizations are now required to preserve a history of business correspondence for up to seven years. The SGI InfiniteStorage 10000 gives data center managers the ability to archive large amounts of online data and when required, the means to immediately search or restore in a timely manner compared to offline archive solutions.

Vast capacity readily handles growing storage needs
Increased adoption of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), with its need for enormous storage capacity, is straining current healthcare infrastructure. The SGI InfiniteStorage 10000 is the perfect repository for a PACS implementation because of its combination of capacity and I/O performance, especially compared to tape alternatives.

Reduces delays caused by data recovery operations
Meeting Restore Time Objectives is essential to an effective disaster recovery and business continuity plan. Now huge amounts of backup data can be stored on the SGI InfiniteStorage 10000, a cost effective system that restores business critical information without the delays associated with tape libraries.
