Arcsys software offers features that are particularly suited to the management of the integrity and availability of very large volumes of data over periods that can extend over several decades.
In sectors such as research, laboratories or industrial design, data preservation requires rigorous organisation, as this data represents the company’s most valuable asset.
Reuse of data
As a general rule, design data is stored for its potential reuse, whether to verify calculations, validate a model, design a new derivative product or protect industrial know-how. In more specific cases, it can also be used to provide proof of non-involvement in a dispute.
Diversity of managed objects
Arcsys manages ‘objects’ of any format, size or type, organised in the form of envelopes. Each container can thus freely contain a single file, a group of objects, a tree structure, etc. Each file is treated as a stream of bytes.
Digital integrity guarantee
As data is at the heart of the company, the integrity of each object stored is crucial. Arcsys assigns a unique fingerprint to each object and can generate multiple copies, possibly distributed across different geographical sites. The system continuously monitors the integrity and availability of objects and takes corrective action in the event of any deviation from the original fingerprint.
Confidentiality/Security
Arcsys integrates perfectly into sensitive environments, particularly those classified by National Defence. Designed to meet the most demanding security standards, it offers reliable integration and ensures proactive management of potential vulnerabilities.

Metadata and search
The value of data lies in its ability to be easily retrieved and utilised. With Arcsys, the association of precise keywords with each object or container ensures fast and efficient searching. The data can be directly interpreted on the user workstation or restored in a suitable storage space, guaranteeing optimal accessibility.
Storage media independence
The volume of design data is growing exponentially, making it necessary to regularly adapt the storage infrastructure, both to keep up with technological developments in the market and to respond to this increase.
Arcsys facilitates the planning and automation of migrations between storage media, minimising the operator’s involvement while guaranteeing full traceability. The software supports storage on discs or tapes and is capable of managing very large volumes of data, up to petabytes.
