HSM Archive Manager
For over 20 years, customers of all industries worldwide have been trusting QStar HSM archive management software to keep valuable archive data accessible and secure for years to come.
QStar HSM archive management software creates an ‘Active Archive’ by virtualizing an archive technology behind a file system. Users and administrators can see ordinary file shares and easily can search, find and recall data directly from the archive.

QStar HSM Archive Management software can manage and archive a massive number of files using any archive storage, RAID, tape, optical, CAS, cloud, removable hard disk – within any open system environment; Windows, UNIX, Linux or Mac OS X.
The use of QStar HSM’s mediacopy feature automatically creates a duplicate copy of selected archive volumes for offline and offsite disaster prevention. In addition, older data sets that are infrequently accessed can also be taken offline to a deep archive.
QStar HSM supports a range of security features to meet regulatory or legal obligations, including WORM technology, which prevents the deliberate or accidental modification of data and provides and audit trail infrastructure for reporting purposes. Options are available for data encryption, digital signature and data retention, which provide added data security and integrity.
eDiscovery can be a critical solution for compliance and can be easily integrated with QStar HSM Archive Manager allowing key word searches of the entire archive.
