Tiger Bridge

Tiger Bridge is Tiger Technology's core product for hybrid cloud file data management. It installs directly on top of storage infrastructure customers already have, continuously placing, protecting, and activating mission-critical file data across on-premises, cloud, and edge environments. Because it works natively on existing infrastructure, there is no new hardware, no migration project, and no disruption to applications or end users.

Solution Overview

Know, Right Place, Protect, Activate - the four pillars that structure everything Tiger Bridge does with enterprise file data.

  • Know
    • Gives IT and data teams automated storage assessments, delivering unified visibility into file data across on-premises and cloud environments.
  • Right Place
    • Automatically places data in the optimal location through intelligent tiering, seamless replication, and multi-target flexibility - balancing performance, cost, and resilience.
  • Protect
    • Provides continuous, always-on data protection with ransomware resilience and point-in-time recovery, closing the gaps left by scheduled backup windows.
  • Activate
    • Makes file data usable the moment it's needed, with seamless sharing, AI and analytics readiness, and instant cloud accessibility - all without moving data out of its native format.

Core Capabilities

The six core capabilities underpinning Tiger Bridge, applied across any storage vendor.

  • Replication
    • Continuous, file-based protection as data changes.
  • Tiering
    • Policy-driven movement to object storage tiers.
  • Sharing
    • Multi-site access with file locking.
  • Versioning
    • Point-in-time recovery for any file or folder.
  • Retention Enforcement
    • Prevents premature deletion or modification.
  • Integrity
    • Checksum validation between locations.

Features and Descriptions

The underlying features that deliver on the capabilities, grouped by function.

File System Integration

  • File System Filter Driver
    • Integrates at the file system level so adoption is invisible to end users - no application changes and no retraining required.
  • Stub Files & Status Icons
    • Shows users at a glance what's stored locally versus in the cloud, with transparent access to either.
  • Partial File Operations
    • Moves only the bytes actually needed for a given operation, enabling faster retrieval and lower egress costs.

Data Management & Placement

  • Policy Engine
    • Runs lifecycle rules continuously in the background, so tiering and data placement require no ongoing administrative effort.
  • Multi-Target Support
    • Lets customers write data to, and switch between, multiple cloud or storage targets at any time, avoiding migration risk and proprietary formats.
  • Cloud Ecosystem Integration
    • Keeps data in its native format so it is immediately usable for AI, ML, and analytics workloads without re-ingestion.

Data Protection & Recovery

  • Versioning & Point-in-Time Recovery
    • Allows any file or folder to be restored to any prior point in time, directly from Windows Explorer.
  • Ransomware Protection
    • Keeps a clean, recoverable copy of data available even after a full encryption event, so recovery doesn't depend on paying a ransom.
  • On-Demand File System Rebuild
    • Restores full operations within minutes of a hardware failure, rather than the hours a traditional rebuild would take.
  • Veeam Integration
    • Extends existing 3-2-1 backup strategies to the cloud automatically, without adding new infrastructure.

Collaboration & Compliance

  • Multi-Site Sync & File Locking
    • Lets teams across multiple locations work from one current dataset, with conflict-free file locking.
  • Retention Policies & Checksum Generation
    • Enforces retention periods to prevent premature deletion or modification, and validates file integrity between locations to support compliance.
