Green Petabyte Archive™ (GPA) 4.0
1000W Low-power, low carbon air-gapped and immutable archive system for organizations that need to retain data for years without changes. Best fit for surveillance video, criminal records, patient data, legal, logs, email, finance, and media archiving.
What does GPA 4.0 stand for?
Every archive system should be 4.0 or else you're paying more for less. Here's what 4.0 stands for:
1
Data Security
Protect your data archives with air-gapping and immutability
2
Low Power
Less than 1000W power consumption and less carbon per petabyte
3
Low Maintenance
Require less maintenance as archive systems are inactive most of the time
4
Low Heat
Low power generates less heat requiring less air-conditioning
0
Ransomware
Zero connections to network - zero ransomware incidents.
Future-Proof Archiving: Air-Gapped and Immutable, Safe, Eco-Friendly, and Affordable
Configure
Integrate the GPA 4.0 archive systems with your production, and backup and DR environment(s) seamlessly.
Automate
Simplify data management by setting policies to automate air-gapping and immutability for appliance nodes.
Scale
Start from a few terabytes and scale to petabytes by adding more appliance nodes.
Unmatched Security with Flexibility
The GPA 4.0 infrastructure is made up of the following components:
Master Controller
1U or 2U rackmount with dedicated NVMe SSDs for OS, high performance processor(s), and system memory. The master controller hosts the storage OS, and optional backup software functioning as the storage controller for the archive system.
Immutable and Air-Gapped Nodes
8, 12, 16, 24, 36-bay immutable and air-gapped nodes with maximum 550W power consumption per chassis. These chassis are built for secure target storage and are only “active” when the master controller is writing to or reading from them. When inactive, the chassis is powered off and does not consume any power or generate heat.
Immutability
Set retention policies to write data to one immutable appliance node for a week/month and then automatically switch to another node the for the next week/month – in a round robin process.
Why risk your business with error-prone manual processes when you can leverage automation to simplify data management and compliance.

Meet Cyber Insurance Requirements with Immutable Backups
To get cyber insurance coverage, insurance companies need you to set up immutability.
Veeam-ready Appliance with Immutable WORM Storage
Leverage Veeam's capabilities to the max with a turnkey appliance that facilitates immutability on-prem and in the cloud.
Start Small and Scale as Backup Data Grows
The DR365V scales effortlessly, accommodating initial partial population with the option to add more drives later, while also supporting scaling up and out to 128 nodes.
Fully Air-Gapped
Only the master controller can access and write to the appliance nodes. Even when the appliance nodes are active, they are protected and safe from the vulnerabilities of your network, and applications.
Automated Data Management
The GPA 4.0 automates air-gapping for the appliance nodes as per user-defined policies. Once the master controller is done writing to the nodes, it isolates them from the network and turns them off.
Low Heat & Less Maintenance
The master controller only uses the appliance nodes when writing data. This means the appliance nodes are inactive for the most part, producing less heat, and requiring less maintenance - making the GPA 4.0 eco-friendly and affordable.

How to Add Air-gapping and Immutability to your Veeam Backup Appliance
If your Veeam backups are accessible via the production network, then even with Veeam's enterprise features your data is vulnerable to ransomware.
Start Small and Scale as Backup Data Grows
The DR365V scales effortlessly, accommodating initial partial population with the option to add more drives later, while also supporting scaling up and out to 128 nodes.
Zero-Ransomware
Air-gapping ensures that your data archives are not accessible via vulnerable networks while immutability makes sure that the archived data cannot be changed, edited, or deleted for a user-defined period of time.
Compliance & Legal
Make sure that sensitive information such as surveillance videos, criminal records, patient data, etc. is retained for years without any malicious changes which facilitates compliance with regulations such as HIPAA/HITRUST, FedRAMP, FISMA, CJIS, and more.
Round Robin
Set policies to write data to a hot-swappable drive or an appliance node for one week/month and then switch to another drive/node the next in a round robin approach for an additional layer of data security.
No changes
for as long as your archives are retained.
Zero Ransomware
attacks will encrypt sensitive information.
Automated
security makes sure there's no room for human error.
Compliance
with HIPAA/HITRUST, FedRAMP, CJIS, and more.
Recover
archived data quickly and without fail.

GPA 4.0 Use Cases
The GPA 4.0 is purpose-built for environments that need to archive petabytes of critical data for years with minimum power consumption and maintenance costs. Here are a few examples of environments where GPA 4.0 is a great fit:
Log Archiving
Prevent log tampering, and archive logs in compliance with SOX, PCI, GDPR, and FINRA, using automated immutability. Custom-build the GPA 4.0 to support log analysis for petabytes of logs.
Financial Record Archiving
Financial service providers have to retain financial records for 5 to 11 years. Any change in these records can lead to millions of dollars in fine. With immutability, financial organizations can protect sensitive data from unauthorized changes.
Health Data Archiving
Protect protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII) from ransomware and cybercriminals using the automated air-gap and immutability capabilities of the GPA 4.0 and comply with HIPAA/HITRUST.
Surveillance Video Archiving
Traditional archive systems used to archive video data consume power, require constant maintenance, cost more upfront, and are vulnerable to ransomware. With GPA 4.0, organizations can custom-build an archive system that’s low power, secure, affordable, and ransomware-proof.
News and Media Archiving
News and media agencies generate terabytes of digital assets daily including videos, media assets, audio, research documents, and more. The GPA 4.0 enables organizations to automate archiving and ensures the digital assets are safe from cyberthreats.
