FACT
Ransomware and Hardware/RAID Failures are considered the top 2 NAS threats.
Why Preemptive
NAS Scanning?
NAS storage has been the workhorse of unstructured data pipelines. These storage platforms are susceptible to age and hardware related failures, malware and ransomware. Preemptively scanning NAS storage provides an early warning against these failures.
SOLUTION
Ransomware,
Hardware Scan
Intelligently and periodically scanning a NAS is critical to the early detection of both hardware failures and ransomware corruption. By intelligently probing file metadata and data, DNAfabric is able to provide a report to admins helping them catch ransomware before it spreads or detects HW/RAID failure before it disables the entire NAS.


CHALLENGE
Unpredictable Cloud Costs
Despite the flexibility and variety that the cloud provides, unpredictable cloud storage costs and bills are a major hurdle to cloud adoption
The DNAfabric
Cloud Cost Modeling Tool
The DNAfabric Cloud Cost Modeling tool compares hundreds of cloud providers and tiers across thousands of cost metrics (API, egress, read costs, write costs etc.).
It helps build accurate cost models and enables cost predictability for backup, archive and production workflows in cloud


Detailed storage reports for FS and Object storage across
multiple metrics including size, age, extension and more.
Analyze FS or Object Storage
Indexers analyze and categorize data across file-systems and objectstorage across multiple sites and cloud.
Track Multiple Metrics
Tracks and generates per-directory reports across size, age, extension, and more.
CSV Reports
Creates easy to re-prupose views and graphs via CSV generated reports.
BI Tool Ready
CSV formats readily integrate into BI Tools such as Tableau and PowerBI for richer presentation.
Duplicate Reports
Creates duplicate reports with a linked list directory view enabling duplicate removal.
Powered by Object Extents

A transfer engine that supports multiple transfer options
FS to FS
FS to FS transfers enables LAN backup, archiving and tiering workflows.
FS to Obj
FS to Object transfers enables backup, archiving and tiering workflows to public or private object.
Obj to FS
Object to FS transfers enables transformative workflows from public cloud to FSs on-premise or in cloud.
Obj to Obj
Object to object workflows allows for migration and cost effective storage workflows between multiple object providers.
Obj Tiering
Object tiering workflows designed to migrate between multi-tier object storage including AWS, Azure.
LTO Transfers
Supports traditional LTO transfers with open data format (LTFS) and open metadata format (XML).
What are Object Extents
Object extents is a new “tar” like format designed for object storage. It is optimized both for performance (faster reads and writes) and cost (lower API costs). It accelerates multiple workflows across public and private object storage including backup, archive, DR, physical drive uploads, tiering and more.
High Performance
Designed for Object Storage
Range Compression
Acceleration & Cost Optimization


End to end data verification during transfer with post verification
checks ensure data stays safe and unmodified.
In-Transfer Verification
Performs in-line verification of data as it reads and write across all transfer types. Ensures data is not corrupted during transit.
Post Transfer Verification
Performs optional read back verification post transfer to ensure data is not corrupted after the transfer process.
Periodic Fixity Checks
Ensures data fixity by performing periodic read backs and comparisons to original checksums. Enables a 3rd party check for data stored in public cloud.


Integrates into native storage services across FS and Object Storage
FileSystem Snapshots
Maintains snapshots on target file-systems. (Supports native Isilon snapshots or full file snapshots for all FSs)
Object Snapshots
Maintains snapshots on target public and private object storage enabling previous point in time recovery
HTML Stubs
HTML stubs allows for space reclamation on primary storage with easy recovery workflows with support for Avid native workspaces.
FS/Object Cleanup
Automated deletion and cleanup of files and object allows for space reclamation after workflows. Allows for policies based deletion.


Integrates with Frame.IO for efficient asset management, transcoding and general data pipelines.
Index On-Premise Assets with Frame.IO
Efficient indexers can help locate duplicate assets across on-premise NAS, object or cloud based storage pools.
Index AWS Glacier, Blob Archive with Frame.IO
Creates a Frame.IO proxy index of hi-res assets stored in deep storage (e.g. on-premise disk, AWS Glacier/Deep, Azure Blob Archive, Google Coldline).
Enterprise Frame.IO Sync
Replaces the Frame.IO manual uploader/downloader with a high performance sync (upload and download) to and from Frame.IO for automated, high performance workflows.
Multi-Res Frame.IO Workflows
Allows for multiple, selectable resolutions to be downloaded from Frame.IO enabling efficient multi-resolution workflows.


Media tuned tools to help you archive, tier and retrieve intelligently.
AAF Archiving
Supports AAF based archiving from any application that can export AAF files. One or more AAFs can be simultaneously parsed where media files are identified and archived or tiered to a target of choice (fs or object).
Adobe Archiving
Supports Adobe production and project based archiving. One or more projects or a production can be simultaneously parsed where media files are identified and archived or tiered to a target of choice (fs or object).
ALE Conforms
Supports ALE based retrieves from fs or object targets. User exported ALE’s of clips, bins or sequences can be used as a restore ticket. Files are identified in the target that match the ALE and retrieved. NOTE: Partial clips are not auto-created and only full clips are retrieved.


Media NAS Tuned
Integrated and tuned for unstructured and media NAS platforms including Avid Nexis, Quantum StorNext, Isilon, Qumulo and more.
True Multi-Way
Designed for high performance, multi-way synchronization of high volume NAS environments.
Avid/Adobe Smart
Integrates with Avid, Adobe, Davinci and other media applications allowing for simultaneous collaboration across multi-location and cloud deployments.
