» Powerful CAS technology

Assureon SA uses the power of CAS (Content Addressable Storage) to simplify management and reduce the cost of storing important digital assets. CAS technology produces a unique file identifier for all objects, based on their content. Assureon's 2nd generation CAS model stores files, images, recordings, web pages, etc, as objects with a secure and unique universal identifier. This approach differs from traditional file system models, where an application or user names the file and then places it in a hierarchical file system. Assureon's CAS technology frees users from the significant lack of scalability and high management costs of traditional file system models.
