LogStare™ Archive Edition for CAStor

The LogStare Archive Edition for CAStor provides network-wide log consolidation, ensures log data integrity, and prevents and detects log corruption for superior long-term archiving and compliance. All log data stored in CAStor is compressed and encrypted with full search and policy monitoring capabilities available in LogStare Web Console.

The LogStare web console provides direct access to the associated CAStor storage console for fast status checks of log files stored in the cluster.
