Keeping seldom-used or archived files on tier-1 storage is not cost effective but saving data to removable disk or tape and storing it offsite creates unacceptable risks and delays in retrieval. Panzura storage offers a compelling, secure storage alternative, maintaining rapid access but leveraging massively scalable cloud storage for unlimited capacity and low cost. Quicksilver controllers can manage PBs of data, avoiding tape, optical disk, and local disk targets for active archiving.

Example Use Cases: On-demand PACS image archiving and sharing / Archiving of seismic data from oil and gas exploration / Financial services
