Its Omni Archive Manager supports structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, with policy-based retention, legal holds, and role-based access. Deployment options include on-premises, cloud, and hybrid models. Documented implementations connect to databases, file systems, Amazon S3, Google Storage, EMC, Hadoop, and Salesforce. To protect archived information against ransomware, OAM uses WORM storage, secure zones, fine-grained entitlements, audit trails, encryption, and password protection. Infobelt describes AI capabilities for data acquisition, conversational querying, and defensible disposition. It says compression can reduce storage costs by up to 75%, with structured data compression reaching 90% and unstructured data compression reaching 50%. The company says it manages more than 30 trillion records and processes 20 billion new records daily, and that its platform integrated data from more than 550 legacy applications for a Fortune 10 bank.

PoINT Storage Manager is a file-based tiering and archiving system for organizations managing company data across storage technologies. It moves inactive files to lower-cost storage while keeping them accessible through the primary storage system, using stub links that do not require changes to existing workflows. Its Enterprise, Archive, and Gateway editions address lifecycle management, file archiving, and compliance archiving. Enterprise can apply individually defined tiering rules and configure up to 64 archiving or storage-transfer processes with separate policies. Storage targets include NAS, object and cloud storage, appliances, tape, and optical systems; integrations include Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, IBM COS, Cloudian HyperStore, Hitachi Content Platform, and NetApp StorageGRID. Retention controls and WORM functionality protect archived data, while replication and migration support movement across storage systems. The product also describes block-level encryption and data-authenticity checks. Version 7.1 lists Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025. It is self-hosted, paid, and pricing is available on request; an evaluation key can be requested.
