|
| Flexible, expressive capture policies |
- Allows for rules-based capture and archiving of content based on attributes like size, content type or last access date

- Provides flexible recovery mechanisms for administrators and end-users
|
| Content-based file type detection |
- Allows archiving of file types even when types are masked
|
| Advanced metadata management |
- Optimizes database utilization (metadata resides on file system instead of database)
- Enables highly scalable search
|
| Leverages NearPoint Grid |
- Provides enterprise scalability to tens of thousands of file systems
- Leverage cost-effective servers and storage
- Single point of management
- Automatic load balancing
