Assureon SA supports files from both the Unix/Linux Network File System and Microsoft’s Common Internet File System. Software shipping with the appliance allows users to search on content based on wildcard or Boolean searches and retrieve data based on searches. With the Assureon SA, files are deduplicated, resulting in only unique files being saved. The Assureon SA also has allows local or remote replication.

The Assureon SA starts at $65,000. A version of the Assureon appliance that supports replication – called SA+ -- starts at $99,000.
