FIFTHWAVE reduce the complexity and therefore the cost of providing IT as a service.
 

Fifthwave analyse, design and deliver Data Management solutions that provide tiering and backup to disk.

Backup to Disk & Data

Deduplication is the

hottest topic in storage

today!

 

We have developed analysis tools to provide  data profile information (e.g. file ages, file types, etc) and to identify potential issues  when aggregating heterogeneous storage (e.g. different capabilities).  The tools can also provide useful  "what if" analysis for different policy configurations (e.g. tiered storage with ILM policy).

Storage Solutions

Compliance and cost avoidance through streamlined process and standardised on-going management

Intelligent Information Management
Analysts have found that data migrations are extremely common with server and storage equipment replacements, relocation, consolidation, lease renewals and load balancing driving the need to migrate data on a regular basis.    

The problem is that the traditional methods of data migration are inherently disruptive as the process involves moving data from one NAS device to another and then redirecting applications. 

Global Virtualisation
EMC Rainfinity Global File Virtualization dramatically simplifies networked storage management. Part of EMC's complete virtualization portfolio, Rainfinity virtualizes unstructured data environments and moves data (including active, open files) without disruption. You get more value from your storage investment and lower TCO by boosting efficiency and identifying and maximizing underutilized assets.

Storage Tiering (ILM)
With the EMC Rainfinity File Management Appliance you can streamline backup, recovery, and archiving with efficient file management. The Rainfinity File Management Appliance provides an easy way to get started with virtualization via cost-effective, scalable software that resides on a standalone server.

Use the Rainfinity File Management Appliance to move inactive unstructured data on a per-file basis to lower tiers of storage or to EMC Centera content-addressed storage. It’s a great way to optimize your primary storage. Plus, you can reduce restore times and bring next-generation backup, recovery, and archiving to your organization.

Disk Backup and Deduplication

Data Domain is in the process of changing the data protection landscape. To some extent they have already achieved this. As a pioneer and leader of disk-to-disk (D2D) backup solutions that support data de-duplication, Data Domain has significantly improved the economics of using disk for backup, which results in easier, faster and more reliable data protection for end-users.

As a result, a number of vendors have gotten into the D2D backup data de-duplication game, with more and more entrants coming on board this year. Effectively, Data Domain has created a new category of data protection: Data de-duplication-enabled D2D backup solutions. At this stage, Data Domain is the leader and has the advantage in this new category, with the widest customer adoption, a proven track record that their data de-duplication technology works as advertised, a growing brand, years of experience within a wide range of environments and products that are easy to use and reliable.
