Silent Brick Controller
The foundation: The Controller is the center of the Silent Brick System. Stationary storage modules can be connected to it. It also offers five slots for mobile storage containers. The 5 slots can be expanded by adding shelves with 14 slots each.
Silent Brick DS WORM
Sheer capacity: The Silent Brick DS WORM offers up to 192 TB (gross) per height unit on a stationary basis. The capacity can be expanded at any time by simply adding more Silent Brick DS. Each Silent Brick DS is protected by erasure coding against data loss due to failure of up to 4 disks.
Silent Brick WORM
Move IT: If data has to be moved or stored outside the system, the Silent Brick is the right choice. 12 or 24 TB (gross) per container, which are protected against data loss due to media failure by erasure coding.
GDPR-compliance and hardware WORM
Again and again we hear:
GDPR-compliance and hardware WORM - that's not possible!
That is incorrect. Our WORM systems have also been confirmed as GDPR-compliant by KPMG.
Article 17 ("right to deletion") provides for important exceptions, notably "compliance with a legal obligation" (paragraph 3b). Retention periods (legal obligation) are considered to outweigh the individual right to deletion.
Storage in our archive system explicitly respects retention periods. The possibility of making data inaccessible after the expiry of these periods (which corresponds to deletion in the IT sense) is an integral part of the certification.
Three central requirements for storage systems result from GDPR and legal requirements:
1. Data integrity
Protection against manipulation and data loss is a central component of the EU GDPR. Article 32 EU GDPR ("Security of processing") requires in number 1, paragraph b
"the ability to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of the systems and services related to the processing on a permanent basis".
2. Privacy protection
Due to the EU GDPR, the protection of privacy is taken into account more than before. Individuals have the right to obtain information about the stored data and about the storage locations. If there is a legitimate claim, the deletion of personal data can be enforced, as described in Article 17 ("Right to deletion"):
"The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the immediate deletion of [...] personal data [...]."
3. Compliance with legal requirements
Article 17 EU GDPR ("right to deletion") recognizes important exceptions in paragraph 3, among others:
"[The right to deletion] does not apply if the processing is necessary: [...]
(b) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing [...]. […]
(e) for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims."
