Location Awareness
Maintains awareness of where information resides across performance, nearline optical and offline optical storage.
SAVARTUS STORAGE MANAGEMENTOS
One view.
Every tier.
oRain is the storage management and orchestration layer behind the Savartus Active Archive architecture. It knows where information is stored, manages movement between storage tiers, and coordinates retrieval across the environment.

Storage changes.
oRain keeps track.
Performance storage, nearline optical libraries and physically offline optical media can operate as parts of one managed storage architecture.

Deep preservation
The storage tier can change without losing awareness of the information or where it resides.
STORAGE INTELLIGENCE
Know what.
Know where.
Know how to get it.
Write Strategy
Applies configurable storage policies to buckets. Defines how long data remains on the performance tier while concurrently preserved on the archive tier, physical data separation requirements, creation of additional preservation copies, and the location of those copies.
Storage Placement
Coordinates placement across storage systems and optical libraries as the environment grows.
Restore Orchestration
Determines where requested information resides and coordinates its return to the performance tier.
Online + Offline Awareness
Maintains location awareness even when optical media has been moved into physically offline preservation.
Deletion Coordination
Coordinates deletion and storage actions according to the applicable placement and retention controls.
SCALE WITHOUT SILOS
One namespace.
Multiple systems.
Add optical systems as preservation requirements grow while oRain maintains the managed view across the environment.

RETRIEVAL INTELLIGENCE
Request the information.
oRain knows where it is - and gets it.
Request
An application or user requests stored information.
Locate
oRain determines whether the information resides in performance, nearline optical or offline optical storage.
Restore
Nearline optical information is restored through the library. Offline media is first returned to an online library.
Deliver
Restored information returns to the performance tier for application or user access.
