PRESERVATION
Preservation keeps information durable and retrievable without paying to maintain an unnecessary performance copy. Cache is used for ingest, staging, and restore; optical storage provides the preserved state.
PRESERVATION WORKFLOW
In Active Archive, the performance copy remains because the information is still actively used. In Preservation, cache exists primarily for ingest, staging, and restore. After optical commit and finalization, the cache can be cleared as soon as policy allows.
Cache supports movement into and out of preservation. It is not the long-term active copy.
ONE MEDIA TECHNOLOGY. TWO ACCESS MODES.
Optical storage can remain online through automated optical libraries for direct retrieval, while additional copies can be maintained in physically isolated optical storage for long-term retention and cyber-resilient preservation. Offline media remains tracked and managed by the Savartus environment while remaining physically isolated from the network.
ONLINE OPTICAL
Storage policies can maintain accessible optical copies, physically isolated copies, or both—configured according to the requirements of each bucket.
OFFLINE OPTICAL
Savartus can maintain physical media separation between customers or between designated data buckets, providing a level of physical data isolation that software-defined storage alone cannot provide.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS MATTER
IMMUTABILITY
Once information is committed to WORM optical media, it cannot be modified in place, providing a physical layer of protection against alteration or tampering.
LONGEVITY
Optical storage is intended for information whose useful life can extend well beyond the refresh cycle of conventional enterprise storage hardware.
INTEGRITY
Durable media, object identity, integrity verification, and managed retrieval form part of a broader preservation architecture.
PORTABILITY
Removable optical media enables online storage to transition into physically separate retention without rewriting the information onto another technology.
ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE
Savartus optical systems can operate as part of a larger managed storage environment. As libraries and drives are added, the software layer maintains awareness of where objects reside and how they can be retrieved.
ENERGY
Savartus object storage systems are designed to scale across multiple systems and storage media technologies. As libraries, drives, and media are added, the software layer provides transparent bucket growth and continued read/write access. Logical and physical data separation can be configured at the bucket level.
CYBER RESILIENCE
Immutable media and offline storage create preservation options that do not depend solely on logical access controls.
ACCESS
Online optical libraries provide a bridge between active storage and physically isolated deep retention.
DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS
Deploy cache, oRain, and ELS nearline or offline systems within the customer environment.
Use Savartus-managed preservation infrastructure when the goal is durable retention without owning the storage environment.
Combine customer-controlled systems, managed services, and physically isolated optical retention where appropriate.
TECHNOLOGY CHANGES. INFORMATION PERSISTS.
Savartus Enterprise Library Systems combine optical media, object access, software orchestration, and online/offline preservation in an architecture designed for long-lived enterprise information.
