Storage Is Handled by Your Server

RVI installs on your existing server infrastructure — IBM i or Windows — and stores documents wherever your server's file system directs. Your IT team and server environment determine storage location, redundancy, and capacity. RVI works with what you have.

  • IBM i IFS — documents stored natively in the IBM i Integrated File System
  • Windows file system — store on any Windows-accessible drive, share, or SAN
  • Works with your existing storage — no proprietary storage format or vendor lock-in
  • Compatible with leading storage hardware — see our certified partners below
RVI 10 Enhanced compliance features — including expanded retention management and audit capabilities — are coming in RVI 10.

Storage Architectures Supported

One RVI system — multiple storage tiers working together seamlessly.

On-Premises

Store all documents on your own servers — IBM i IFS, Windows file server, or SAN. Full control, no bandwidth dependency, no per-GB charges.

RVI Cloud Storage

Hosted, managed storage in a secure data center. No hardware to maintain — RVI handles backups, redundancy, and scaling.

Hybrid Storage

Active documents stay local for fast access; aged or archived content migrates automatically to lower-cost cloud tiers — all transparent to users.

WORM & Immutable Storage

Write-Once Read-Many storage for compliance-sensitive records — documents cannot be altered or deleted once written, satisfying SEC, HIPAA, and similar requirements.

Tiered & HSM Storage

Hierarchical Storage Management automatically moves documents between fast (online), near-line, and offline tiers based on age and access frequency.

Encryption & Redundancy

Documents encrypted at rest and in transit. Redundant storage configurations ensure data is never at risk from hardware failure.

Which Storage Model Fits Your Organization?

On-Premises

Best for organizations with existing infrastructure, strict data sovereignty requirements, or high-volume document traffic that needs maximum throughput.

Cloud

Ideal for new implementations, smaller teams, or organizations looking to eliminate server maintenance and get started quickly with minimal capital investment.

Hybrid

The best of both worlds — keep business-critical active files on fast local storage while moving historical and archived content to cost-effective cloud tiers.
