Solutions & Services

iCAS Classic is suitable for organizations that want to archive existing applications such as DMS, ECM, ERP, PACS, HIS, or email systems in an audit-proof manner. The middleware enhances existing storage infrastructures with WORM storage, data integrity, and retention management. iCAS Classic remains fully independent of the underlying storage infrastructure and can be combined with on-premises, cloud, hybrid, object, NAS, SAN, or file system-based storage. This keeps organizations flexible in the long term and avoids vendor lock-in.

iCAS FS is the right solution if you want to store business-critical data long term, protect archive and backup data, or reduce the operational effort of your storage infrastructure. The scale-out platform grows flexibly with your data volume and delivers a cloud experience on-premises: you benefit from scalability, easy expansion, and high flexibility while keeping your data in your own data center. With managed services, iTernity can take over tasks such as monitoring, administration, updates, and troubleshooting on request, so your IT team can focus on strategic priorities.

That depends on your requirements; both solutions can be used independently or together. iCAS Classic is the right solution if you want to extend existing applications such as DMS, ECM, ERP, PACS, or HIS systems with audit-proof archiving, retention management, and compliance features. iCAS FS, by contrast, is a central storage platform for archive, backup, and long-term storage use cases, with a focus on scalability, a cloud experience on-premises, and managed services. Many customers combine both solutions and benefit from a fully integrated central platform for archiving and long-term data storage.

Many organizations combine iCAS Classic and iCAS FS into an integrated central platform for archiving and long-term data storage. While iCAS Classic extends existing applications with audit-proof archiving and compliance features, iCAS FS provides the underlying storage platform for archive, backup, and long-term data. Together, both solutions enable a flexible, scalable, and future-proof data strategy.

The iCAS Special Delete Manager is compatible with iCAS Classic and is the right add-on when personal data must be deleted in a GDPR-compliant manner before the statutory retention period expires. It supports organizations in implementing the “right to erasure” and documents all deletion operations transparently in the audit log.

iCAS Capture is suitable for organizations that want to automatically capture additional data sources and archive them in an audit-proof manner. The solution takes data directly from various sources and automatically transfers it to iCAS Classic or iCAS FS. The data can then be securely removed from production systems, reducing their load.

For long-term, secure storage of backup data, iCAS FS is recommended. The platform supports use cases such as backup storage, archive storage, and cost-efficient long-term storage in a central storage platform. iCAS FS is compatible with all leading backup software solutions.

If data volumes continue to grow, both iCAS FS and iCAS Classic offer suitable approaches. As a scale-out storage platform, iCAS FS scales flexibly with your requirements. iCAS Classic ensures that your archive can grow over the long term independently of the underlying storage infrastructure—whether on-premises, hybrid, or cloud. Many organizations combine both solutions to sustainably manage data growth at both the archiving and storage levels.

Compliance is not a use case for a single solution. Both iCAS Classic and iCAS FS support organizations in the audit-proof storage and archiving of business-critical data. While iCAS Classic extends existing applications with compliance and archiving functions, iCAS FS provides a secure and auditable storage platform for long-term data retention. For data protection requirements such as the right to erasure, iCAS Classic can be extended with the iCAS Special Delete Manager.

With iCAS FS Managed Storage, iTernity takes over tasks such as monitoring, administration, troubleshooting, and maintenance. This relieves internal IT and allows it to focus on strategic priorities.

Yes. iCAS Classic was specifically developed to extend existing storage infrastructures with audit-proof archiving, WORM storage, and compliance features. The solution is independent of the underlying storage technology and can be combined with on-premises, hybrid, or cloud storage as well as NAS, SAN, object, and file storage. iCAS FS follows a different approach: the solution runs on standard hardware or virtualized environments in your own data center and provides a cloud experience on-premises with high scalability, easy management, and managed services.
