Varonis and Quantum Team to Maximize Data Protection for Customers
December 21 2016 - 9:00AM
Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), a leading provider of
software solutions that protect data from insider threats
and cyberattacks, and Quantum Corp. (NYSE:QTM), a leading
expert in scale-out storage, archive and data protection, today
announced a technology alliance to deliver secure data access,
storage and archiving to customers.
The integration of Quantum’s Artico™ active archive appliance
and Xcellis™ workflow storage appliance with the Varonis Metadata
Framework will enable joint customers to increase visibility and
security for sensitive data and monitoring for all file storage,
from primary through archive. Virtually every industry is
experiencing exponential data growth, from video, sensor and
machine-generated data. All of this data needs to be securely
stored, protected and managed for potential future use and
analysis, and the combined value of Varonis and Quantum brings
crucial functionality to customers.
Quantum Artico and Xcellis Enable Multi-Tiered Storage
ApproachArtico is an easy-to-deploy, low-cost solution for
long-term retention of large datasets, while Xcellis provides the
greatest flexibility in scale and performance to meet the needs of
the most demanding workflows. Artico includes NAS
connectivity for ease of integration, while Xcellis connectivity
choices include NAS as well as LAN client, SAN client and
Infiniband access for high-performance shared workflow and
scalability. Both appliances provide a single point of access to
data stored on different tiers, including disk, object storage,
tape and public cloud. Automated, user-defined data management
policies deliver data protection and disaster recovery, fast access
to active data, and reduced costs by keeping less active data on
lower-cost storage tiers.
Quantum’s solutions offer the appropriate storage platform to
meet customer needs for performance and value, while Varonis adds
critical security that protects valuable data against malicious
threats
The Varonis Metadata Framework Platform
The Varonis Metadata Framework platform is the foundation for a
portfolio of solutions that collect, store and analyze metadata
non-intrusively to protect organizations’ most critical and
sensitive data. This distributed, highly scalable architecture was
designed from the ground up to accommodate big data processing from
heterogeneous platform types – including Windows, NAS, SharePoint,
Exchange, Active Directory, Unix, Linux, and Office365 – and
present the data back through a single interface in Varonis
DatAdvantage, which visualizes the activity for all users, across
all platforms. Varonis Data Transport Engine automates retention,
disposition and archiving with intelligent migration and
configuration. Varonis DatAlert draws on continually updated threat
models and automatically learns normal behavior, analyzes all
access activity and only alerts on suspicious behavior – thus
automating threat detection with predictive threat models built on
advanced user behavior analytics, and machine learning.
Supporting QuotesEric Bassier, Quantum Senior
Director, Data Center Solutions“As enterprises grapple with a
tsunami of data, the challenge is to manage it in a way that keeps
valuable data available for collaboration, without exposing it to
cyberattacks, theft and unintended use. Varonis integrates
seamlessly with Quantum’s multi-tiered storage to deliver
comprehensive data protection and highly cost-effective storage
management.”
David Gibson, Varonis Vice President of Strategy and Market
Development“Companies are contending with the fact that data is
growing at unprecedented rates, increasing security and storage
concerns. The interoperability between Varonis and Quantum will
provide customers with the monitoring and protection of critical
files and emails across active and lower-cost tiers.”
