Value-added distributor ADN has included the Dell Technologies WORM appliance in its portfolio since the third quarter of 2019. This gives system integrators and IT solution providers not only direct access to the highly scalable hardware and software solution, but also to detailed information, training, webcasts, and events.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, the appliance was presented at the Dell Technologies Forums in Hamburg and Berlin, and the first webcasts for partners and end customers took place. For 2020, communication efforts will be further expanded for both resellers and users.
“The Dell Technologies WORM appliance is exactly what system integrators and IT service providers are looking for. It can be quickly integrated at the end customer’s site regardless of the existing infrastructure and is easy to administer. This gives our partners an excellent opportunity to address audit-compliant archiving with just a single central appliance and to further expand their business,” explains Boris Karsunky, Head of the Dell Technologies Business Unit at ADN.
Audit-compliant archiving made easy
Audit-compliant data archiving—for example, in accordance with GoBD, SEC, BAO, and GeBÜV regulations—is quick and easy with the WORM appliance. The appliance consists of proven Dell EMC hardware and WORM software from GRAU DATA. The WORM archive not only guarantees the immutability of sensitive data. The solution is also certified according to current compliance guidelines from KPMG and thus withstands audits by authorities and auditing organizations.
The appliance can be easily integrated into existing IT environments and quickly deployed independently of existing storage and archiving systems. It combines long-term use with high scalability across three configuration levels: “Small” with up to 8 TB (net) storage capacity, “Medium” with a maximum of 25 TB (net) storage volume, and the “Large” version with a capacity of 60 TB (net). An XL variant with a capacity exceeding 60 TB is provided on a custom basis.
“Audit-proof archiving is a must for every company. With the Dell Technologies WORM appliance and the integrated, proven GRAU DATA WORM archiving software, partners and users have an easy-to-use and highly scalable archiving solution. The combination of Dell Technologies and GRAU DATA creates a unique solution for simple, fast, and above all secure compliance-driven archiving,” explains Herbert Grau, Managing Director of GRAU DATA.
