The foundation of long-term protected data
Data is the foundation of modern companies and organizations. At the same time, requirements for security, traceability, and long-term availability are rising rapidly.
iTernity’s archiving software enables companies and organizations to archive business-critical data securely, in compliance, and for the long term—independent of storage hardware, vendors, or individual IT systems.
You retain full control over your information at all times—today, tomorrow, and for decades to come.
The iTernity approach to modern archiving
Archiving software ensures that data is stored immutably, traceably, and permanently available. iTernity’s archiving software goes a decisive step further by combining the highest level of audit-proof compliance with maximum flexibility and sustainable investment protection.
Our solutions are particularly suitable for organizations that:
- Need to store data subject to retention obligations or relevant as evidence
- Are subject to strict compliance or audit requirements
- Want to protect sensitive information from manipulation, deletion, or ransomware
- Need to future-proof their IT and remain vendor-independent
Archiving software comparison: iTernity vs. traditional archiving systems
Many organizations still use traditional archiving systems based on proprietary hardware or rigid storage concepts. These solutions were the standard for a long time, but today they are reaching technical, economic, and regulatory limits—and are becoming a risk.
In short: What used to be stable is now becoming a cost and security trap.
iTernity’s archiving software takes a different approach: it is software-defined, vendor-independent, and consistently designed for long-term availability.
Why traditional systems reach their limits
- Hardware and vendor lock-in is likely
- Rigid silo storage architecture
- Limitations in flexibility and scalability
- Unused capacity, re-licensing with every new hardware generation, limited archiving efficiency
- Effort required for maintenance and operations
- Complex, costly, and time-consuming data migrations
- Insufficient protection in the event of a ransomware attack
What iTernity does differently
- Software-defined archiving instead of hardware lock-in
- Audit-proof compliance independent of storage (on-premises, hybrid, cloud)
- Connectivity to many different data sources and business applications
- Long-term readability for decades
- Sustainable investment protection
- Near-unlimited scalability from TB to PB
- Protection against ransomware attacks
Typical use cases for our solutions
Archiving software solutions from iTernity
iTernity’s archiving software is available to companies and organizations in two proven variants as a foundation. In addition, we offer two add-ons that enable compliance with the GDPR “right to be forgotten” requirements as well as data ingestion from additional source systems. This allows archiving to be optimally adapted to existing IT landscapes, data types, and requirements.
iCAS Classic
iCAS Classic is a flexible middleware for retention management & WORM data archiving. The software solution integrates seamlessly into existing IT infrastructures. While you focus on your core business, iCAS Classic reliably protects the integrity and availability of your data in the background.
iCAS FS
iCAS FS is a scale-out storage platform for a wide range of use cases related to long-term data storage. The software-defined platform is infinitely scalable and stands out with low total costs, ease of use, and high flexibility. Whether as secure backup storage, an audit-proof archive, secondary storage, or cost-efficient object storage, iCAS FS meets your requirements in the long term.
iCAS Capture
With iCAS Capture, you extend your archiving strategy with direct capture of data from a wide variety of sources.
The add-on automatically reads out relevant information and integrates it seamlessly into the shares of iCAS FS or iCAS Classic. The data is then available in an audit-proof manner and can be safely removed from production systems, significantly reducing operational effort, storage requirements, and complexity.
