Bycast software products simplify the management of massive fixed-content storage systems. Bycast’s software enables organizations to optimize their storage infrastructure and ensure the integrity and availability of their valuable data assets. Bycast products also allow the formation of regional archives that can scale to petabytes of data across hundreds of sites.

Innovation
Bycast products provide a practical solution for the long term storage, protection and preservation of digital data over long periods of time independent of underlying storage hardware or storage technology. Bycast software protects the integrity of stored data (via digital finger prints), delivers automated backup and restoration (via off-site multi-way replication over WANs) and guards against media obsolescence (via automated hardware refresh without impact on applications).

Performance
Bycast software eliminates the need for backup and recovery thereby allowing systems to grow without becoming operational bottlenecks. In addition, the distributed grid architecture allows it to scale in performance, capacity and footprint as customers’ needs change. The solution can scale to petabytes of data across hundreds of sites.

Ease of Integration
With Bycast, organizations can manage heterogeneous storage environments consisting of multi-vendor, multi-generational hardware and media. Bycast’s software interoperability and has gone through extensive validation and has been customer proven in a global installed base across multiple hardware platforms.

Ease of Use
Bycast products offer ease of use through a single, unified and intuitive storage management interface. There is no need for ongoing services from Bycast to operate the system. In our customer base, users manage archives that span multiple sites and provide hundreds of terabytes of capacity.

Value
With Bycast, organizations achieve lower total cost of ownership for storing, protecting and preserving data over long periods of time (tens of years). Bycast products reduce capital and operating expenses by delivering a single, unified storage system across sites, applications, and storage tiers, while completely eliminating the costs associated with traditional backup and recovery tools. By enabling seamless operation across heterogeneous hardware, organizations avoid lock-in and leverage their purchasing power in multi-vendor environments to take maximum advantage of dropping hardware costs. This, together with automated hardware refresh, reduces capital acquisition costs over the life of the data. It also enables customers to leverage existing IT investments by allowing organizations to maintain multi-vendor, multi-generation storage equipment, adding new resources over time only as needed so organizations are not forced to abandon existing capital investments.
