What Datadobi Open Archive is
Datadobi Open Archive uses StorageMAP to identify redundant, obsolete, aging, and other low-value unstructured data, then helps teams move it to lower-cost or secure storage, or cloud services. It manages file and object data and can transform data between formats across heterogeneous on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Datadobi describes the platform as designed for billion-file and multi-petabyte settings. Teams can create and monitor archiving policies that adapt to changing data and business needs, then use dashboards, reports, and exports to track archived data, policy enforcement, and potential savings. Logging and chain-of-custody records support auditability of data movement. Supported sources include SMB/CIFS and NFS file servers, S3 object servers, SMB/NFS/S3 cloud storage, and NAS systems. Retention policies, legal hold, and immutable archiving are available. The paid annual subscription includes analytics, dashboards, automation, and core actions; migration and replication need separate add-on licenses. The product is self-hosted and runs on Linux. Pricing is available on request.
