Archive Manager Standard 2.4

Archive Manager is a one of a kind file archiving tools for files stored in network shares, there really is nothing else like it.

If you havent seen Archive manager before then your in for a treat. Archive Manager provides fully featured file archiving without using a database. All it needs is an empty share on your network.
Almost infinitely scalable, blisteringly fast, totally reliable and extremely cost effective to deploy.

Almost all other file archiving and HSM solutions try to cram files into a database like Microsoft SQL server. While modern databases can cope with this they were not designed for it. In theory this can lead to performance problems, reliability issues and it will almost certainly lead to security problems.

Take the security issues for example. NTFS permissions are rarely, if ever preserved when software solutions moves files into a database. Database centred products normally work on groups of users having rights to see groups of files. You lose the granular control you will have set up with your NTFS permissions. This can lead to users being able to see files that they shouldnt if a solution is miss configured.

Archive Manager is different because it doesnt use any kind of database to store files in, ever. Instead it uses an empty share that you create on your network. The share can be anywhere you choose, thus giving you a great degree of flexibility.

Because of this Archive Manager is incredibly reliable, blisteringly fast (at both archiving and retrieval) and it is highly cost effective to deploy.
