Komprise Unstructured Data Management for IBM Storage

Transparent Tiering for IBM Storage

Manage inactive cold data differently from active data. Tier and offload cold data from any NAS to IBM Ceph and IBM Cloud Object Storage to free up tier-1 storage capacity. Unlike proprietary storage tiering, you have no rehydration costs when switching NAS vendors. Learn more.

Unstructured Data Analysis and Showback Reporting

Set various file and object data management objectives and play with “what if” scenarios to understand their projected impact on footprint and costs. Komprise instantly projects ROI based on your costs and policies. Get showback, duplicates, cost-savings, ROI and other reports to build stakeholder buy-in. Learn more.

Unstructured Data Migrations 27x Faster at 1/3 the Cost

Simplify complex petabyte-scale migrations with fast, reliable, efficient migrations at one-third the cost. Scale-out architecture migrates 27 times faster than sync tools. Learn more.

Easily Scale Out to Handle Massive Data Volumes and Growth

Komprise scales as needed by directing your NAS data to virtually unlimited capacity. The web-scale storage platform helps performance and capacity scale independently — reaching exabyte levels and beyond. Learn more.

Offload Cold Data from the Ransomware Attack Surface

Komprise tiers cold data and offloads it from the active ransomware attack surface. The tiered files can be stored as immutable objects in IBM Cloud Object Storage or IBM Ceph to protect from ransomware at a fraction of the cost. Learn more.

Increase AI Accuracy

Filter out 70%+ of unstructured data noise that erodes AI accuracy. Automated sensitive data detection, duplicate identification and metadata tagging eliminates low quality and protected data prior to ingest. Learn more.

Komprise is an IBM Integrated Solution

Purchase a solution with IBM Cloud Object Storage or IBM Ceph and Komprise directly from IBM or an IBM Business Partner. The solution has been fully tested and validated by IBM and is part of the IBM validated solutions portfolio.
