Delivering policy-based data orchestration, Vail streamlines workflows and reduces overall costs and complexities for organisations that want to leverage the power of the cloud. With Vail and Vail-enabled BlackPearl S3, organisations can take full advantage of cloud services -- no matter where data is created or located, whether in the cloud or on-premises.

New Vail enhancements provide:

• The industry’s only fully qualified on-premises glacier-like solution that enables any software with an S3 interface to have direct access to local tape or nearline object storage with the use of S3 glacier-like commands that mimic AWS.
• Simple S3 disk and S3 glacier tape to modernise data protection and backup applications.
• Flexible implementation of either a global cloud-based object database for universal access or a local on-premises object database for optimized performance.
• Support for AWS Object Lock using on-premises storage targets to protect data against ransomware and malicious activity.
• Direct integration of any cloud services, including artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), with on-premises data using intelligent object synchronisation.
