FastLTA's solutions for secure long-term data storage
German company FastLTA has been offering long-term hard disk storage solutions for more than a dozen years, guaranteeing the greatest data security in its class.
The main features of this solution are:
- Data protection using Erasure Coding with 4-fold redundancy;
- 12 hard drives per disk storage unit - Silent Brick media;
- Damage to 4 disks does not cause data loss;
- The ability to mix disks;
- 3 different disk models per disk storage unit;
- Independence from disk model/supplier;
- Digital Data Audit;
- Automated control at the bit level;
- Integrity of structure;
- Store metadata alongside the actual data;
- No dependence on central index/meta data;
- Linear data structure;
- Store contiguous data always side by side;
- Integrated version control system;
- Optional WORM-type protection;
- Durable aluminum media housing;
Silent Brick media can be used as:
- Optimized storage media for offline storage (Cold Storage) Online, Offline and Off-Site;
- Online: once mounted, Silent Brick media works the same as other disk libraries;
- Offline: Silent Bricks media when not in use operate at zero power consumption;
- Off-Site: removable media of inaccessible remote storage;
- Secure storage container.
Silent Brick Drive media in the simplest solution can be used in a disk storage drive:
- Backup and archiving devices sized 1U backup with 2 Silent Brick media pockets;
- Net capacity of 16 or 32 TB;
- Unlimited scalability for offline media;
- Replication over the network to any Silent Brick media library;
- Connect over the network as a secure NAS or locally via USB.

- 80 TB net capacity;
- 10 G Ethernet or Fibre Channel interfaces;
- Expansion shelf with 14 pockets for Silent Brick media;
- 224 TB net of additional storage in each shelf;
- Connection via high-speed SAS interface;
- The combination of VTL and Secure NAS (SecureNAS) in a single system;
- VTL instead of a tape library;
- Secure NAS for file sharing on flexible volumes.
Silent Brick media solutions are primarily offline storage (Cold Storage):
- Unstructured data should be:
- removed from the regular backup process,
- stored securely, without the need for further backups,
- available at any time,
- stored with minimal cost and handling.
- Offline storage (Cold Storage) will replace Level 2 (auxiliary) and Level 3 (offline) storage solutions.
- Reduce total cost of ownership, maintenance and complexity.
One of the most important applications of Silent Brick media is data backup and archiving:
- Combine the benefits of tape and disk libraries in a secure, flexible and scalable storage system.
- Benefits of using as a tape library:
- Storage with a low cost per TB,
- removable media,
- linear data structure.
- Benefits of using as a disk library:
- direct, free access,
- immediate availability,
- Security through redundant data encryption.
- Silent Brick media is the ideal storage for backups performed with the Veeam Backup Essentials and Backup & Replication software suite. They protect against data loss due to ransomware and fully support InstantRecovery and SureBackup functionality.
- Backup in B2D2T mode in SecureNAS + VTL configuration is possible,
As well as in B2D2D mode in SecureNAS configuration with replication.
