General product family overview:
iCAS FS is a software based, scalable platform based on Linux and commodity hardware that can be used for data archiving.

Data is immediately written to several dedicated cluster nodes with a configured number of replicas. The cluster is externally accessible with virtual IP addresses that will transparently fail over from one node to another, making eventual downtime of individual nodes transparent to the client. In addition, the system is self-healing, so that error conditions will be automatically fixed. Therefore, this ensures maximum protection against manipulation, corruption, and unauthorized data access.

Additional considerations:

• Storage configuration: the composition of the drives can vary from system to system due to the software-defined approach.
