Market Category

Tarmin has pioneered the new market category Data Defined Storage. This new category of solution platforms emphasize the value of data according to content and meaning over the traditional parameters of storage media, type and location. Data Defined Storage takes a single, holistic and comprehensive approach to all unstructured information in the global enterprise. It allows for the ability to manage disparate data types across large, highly distributed locations, manage both end user data management and big data analytics capabilities built into the solution. Three primary functional domains are required to actualize the benefits of Data Defined Storage:


 * 1) Media Independent Data Storage
 * 2) Data Security and Identity Management
 * 3) Distributed Metadata Repository

Media Independent Data Storage

Removes media centric data storage boundaries, promotes linear scale-out functionality and provides transparent data access for volume optimized storage performance.

Data Security and Identity Management
