| Total Cost of Ownership White Papers |
|
The world of today requires sophisticated
long term "deep storage" of data. The thesis of these white papers
is to offer a new theory of the economics of long term deep
storage as a foundation for decision making by corporate IT
executives, governments, and other organizations. They introduce
the TeraStack® solution product line - the TBYTe® -
and discuss how this product line can provide infinitely
expandable data storage at low incremental cost, and allow its
users to archive data at about one tenth of the Total Cost of
Ownership of alternative systems.

| Reliability and Availability Compliance White Paper |
|
Current backup solutions utilize spinning hard disk drives and
tape media for long term data storage. Limited by storage size
and a short life expectancy, these systems fail to meet the
requirements of today’s growing data storage needs. The TeraStack®
Solution by Hie Electronics solves the inevitable shortcomings of
current data storage solutions. Compared to the large footprint,
excessive maintenance costs, and short 3-7 year lifespan of hard
disk drives and tape media, the TeraStack® Solution significantly
surpasses current industry standards. The TeraStack® Solution uses
Blu-ray optical discs, offering an archive lifetime of 50-100 years.
The migration of data to new media technology is eliminated with
the use of Blu-ray discs. The unsurpassed reliability of the
TeraStack® Solution will ensure data storage and retrieval integrity
for decades to come while increasing cost efficiency with process
automation, reliability, and storage density.

| "Green" White Paper |
|
Many government agencies and private sector companies will have to
expand their data center infrastructure within the next couple of
years, either due to lack of floor space or because their existing
cooling and power infrastructure is unable to support the increasing
power density of smaller, more energy demanding equipment in the same
data center space. Hie Electronics, Inc. has developed an 800 watt “Green”
data storage solution that will allow data center managers to economically
and reliably manage their growing data volumes and save up to 50% at
implementation and up to 60-90% in total cost of operations when compared to
similar capacity HDD and tape storage solutions.

| Concept of Operations for Advanced Law Enforcement, Investigation, Security and Intelligence Support System |
|
The
support systems required to counter growing threats to public
safety and infrastructure must provide exceptional situational
awareness for response and interdiction, as well as long-term
research and analysis capabilities to the public safety
officials charged with combating modern-day security risks.
The thesis of this white paper discusses the need for the
significant storage requirements to meet the needs of
intelligence analysis over long periods of time and multiple
locations. It details the ability of the TeraStack®
solution product line - the TBYTe® - to provide the
extraordinary capability to rapidly collect, store, mine, and
analyze vast amounts of critical time sensitive data.

| Enterprise-Class Backup Solutions - Scalable Recommendations for the TeraStack® Solution |
|
This study focuses on the growing retention
requirements for data backup and archive solutions in
enterprise-class environments. The current capabilities of the
EVault product offerings demonstrate ideal behavior of an
application written with large volumes of growing data in mind.
The EVault application couples seamlessly with the TeraStack®
Solution to extend the storage capabilities of software
offerings such as EVault InfoStage and the various EVault Data
Agents. The TeraStack® Solution presents innovative options for
the problems of storage for enterprise-class disaster recovery
planning (DRP). The TeraStack® Solution offers a highly
significant improvement in infrastructure capabilities,
resulting often times in 90% reductions in TCO over 3-5 years
vs. alternative storage solutions, such as RAID, NAS, and SAN
storage elements.

In today’s
commercial world, enterprises require around-the-clock e-mail
service. Even the slightest service interruption or data loss
can seriously impact an enterprise’s ability to do business.
While current typical Exchange backup procedures allow for
recovery of large-scale e-mail loss, they cannot do so without
significant downtime. Most industry Exchange Server backup
procedures currently center on resource-intensive nightly full
backups when offering a best-case scenario for disaster
recovery. This places unnecessary strain on the Exchange
server, backup media servers, and network during an extended
period of time while processing overnight. A proper
implementation of the TeraStack® Solution will significantly
reduce the impact of the backup infrastructure on
mission-critical systems, including processing time, network
load, server load, and required storage. The TeraStack®
Solution, from Hie Electronics, provides a unique approach to
long-term storage, and achieves a significant reduction in total
cost of ownership. Installed with Symantec Backup Exec agent
for Microsoft Exchange software, the TeraStack® Solution
Exchange Server Backup unit will help to alleviate network
contention, reduce manual labor by automating media organization
and provide even more advanced and reliable restoration
capabilities for the IT industry.

A large number of
viable backup options exist in the IT industry, offering
solutions for small to medium sized businesses. Several of
these solutions also claim to scale to larger deployment as data
volumes grow significantly through corporate expansion.
While the industry-leading applications integrate seamlessly
with the TeraStack® Solution, not every application is designed
with large-scale deployment in mind and, while many can scale to
larger data sizes when necessary, the long-term benefits often
justify the initial investment of a solution migration at the
early stages of corporate growth. Symantec Backup Exec 11
is a solution that can be applied to single server installations
and scales painlessly into large scale Enterprise Class
deployment.

The TeraStack® Solution offers a tiered data storage unit that is
compatible with various enterprise software packages such as
Backup Exec, Tivoli, and eVault. In today’s data archiving
industry, priority information needs to be instantly accessible
while non-priority information can be allocated to either
near-term or off-site storage. The TeraStack® Solution allows
users to access unlimited amounts of data on Blu-ray optical
discs through on-line, near-line, and off-line storage.

| Document Reproduction White Paper |
The need for efficient transfer of paper documents to electronic
format is growing exponentially due to government regulations and
corporate growth. In the past, it has been extremely expensive to
transfer and archive large volumes of data. The TeraStack® Solution
is capable of supporting up to 30 scanners, and provides 50 terabytes
of extendable storage for decades to come. The TeraStack® Solution is
the “green,” reliable, cost-effective way to reproduce and store paper
documents electronically.
