Besides the option of storing content in a regular file system or based on SFTP, more robust storage systems are supported for long term preservation including the following:
-
Amazon S3 Storage (Simple Storage Service) / OBS
-
ECS object storage from Dell EMC via S3 API
-
Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
-
Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)
-
NetApp (ONTAP)
-
Windows Azure Storage
The connection to such a storage can be set up via the AdminClient [UM AdminClient]
ImageMaster retention management is compatible with the retention management functionality of Amazon S3, ECS, Hitachi HCP and NetApp SnapLock. The retention period, which can be set via ImageMaster, is propagated to these storage systems’ retention management mechanisms. This helps to meet requirements for retaining and protecting content in the context of records retention regulations.
In combination with one of these supported storage systems, which in part have been certified by independent inspection bodies, and which have gained wide acceptance, ImageMaster can thus contribute to secure electronic filing in terms of audit acceptance. Also see:
