Tarmin Technologies

Rather than simply developing another storage infrastructure solution with costly architectural requirements that force customers to choose one type of storage hardware over another, Tarmin Technologies© has pioneered a revolutionary hardware independent software solution that enables information assets and the corporate network to be used for what they were intended’ connecting people with information.

Powered by our GridBank™ platform our Archive Lifecycle Management (ALM) products dramatically reduce the cost of storing, searching and sharing data across an organization. GridBank™ improves data transparency throughout an organization while also eliminating the need to choose a single storage vendor’s data management and hardware solution.

Archive your file-based and SharePoint® data to reduce costs, optimize storage efficiency, and meet regulatory and compliance requirements.

Award-winning GridBank™ delivers a highly secure intelligent secondary storage platform and active archival solution. Enabling long-term data preservation on cost-effective secondary storage tiers and cloud storage environments, GridBank substantially shrinks storage and IT costs, offers immediate information access, and incorporates powerful E-discovery. GridBank satisfies regulatory and compliance requirements, while delivering a "Green" storage solution.

 “…GridBank 1.5’s feature-rich platform enables these customers to shift some of the archive storage management burden to a trusted cloud storage service provider and makes it is easy for these organizations to take advantage of the cost savings that result…”

Data Protection
GridBank™ Server Platform along with BackupShield technology, provides intelligent data protection in the enterprise. GridBank™ enables integration with the policies of the organization to meet the performance and availability needs, while extracting business value and ensuring that compliance requirements are met for all data.

Policy Management
The GridBank™ Platform policies are operations that determine the archive-item’s behaviour during its lifecycle within the archive. GridBank™ policies ensure that archive data is always safe, available, and authentic.

Billions of transactions, millions of emails, thousands of online documents: information is at the heart of a business, and growing like never before. Everything is generating data – from cell phones to PDAs and even cars. As you read this sentence, the flow of data is continuing to expand by billions of bits and bytes.

Imagine a world where:

• You can share this information anytime you want,
• Information is at your fingertips, available any time you need
• You can save a customer’s documents, a patient’s records, and a satellite’s images – FOREVER.
• You can search the archives anytime you want

GridBank™ Technology allows the information and network to be used for what it’s intended – connecting people and information.

According to IDC Research Report (March 2007), the amount of digital information that was created, captured, and replicated in 2006 was estimated at 161 exabytes, or about 3 million times the information in all the books ever written. The amount of information created and copied in 2010 will surge more than sixfold to 988 exabytes, representing a compound annual growth rate of 57 per cent!
