Offering customers flexibility and choice with innovative and industry leading archival solutions
Your application storage environment is growing. Applications that were never intended to be filing cabinets of reference information have become digital landfills. But the information is valuable and you do not want to throw it away because you might need it. HP offers customers the flexibility needed to archive valuable, albeit less accessed, information assets with the choice of archiving to our industry leading optical-based solutions or our latest solution, active archiving to HP StorageWorks Reference Information Storage System (RISS). Whether you need fast access to archived content with RISS or permanent, nearline storage at a much reduced cost with HP StorageWorks Optical Jukebox portfolio, HP has you covered.
