| PoINT Storage Manager Offers Enhanced 'Archive Tier' Support PoINT Software & Systems GmbH has expanded the list of storage systems supported within the proven Multi Tier Storage Architecture of its PoINT Storage Manager by certifying the "Silent Cubes" hard disk based archive storage made by FAST LTA. The Silent Cubes storage hardware is supported as a Tier 3 ("Archive Tier") device in the Multi Tier Storage Architecture of PoINT Storage Manager. When configured as an Archive Tier device, PoINT utilizes the comprehensive retention management and WORM functionality features of the Silent Cubes to offer customers an ideal solution for fulfilment of compliance regulations. PoINT Storage Manager can be integrated seamlessly into an existing storage infrastructure. Using Policy Based Schedules, users can configure the software to identify data stored on their primary storage systems which is ready for archiving and migrates selected data automatically and transparently to the Silent Cubes. The PoINT TAFS for Windows NTFS based systems or the PoINT NetApp FAS Agent replaces migrated data links so the files remain directly accessible through their original source location fulfilling "Single Path Access" requirements. PoINT Storage Manager is moreover able to migrate obsolete archive storage systems seamlessly to a Silent Cubes system by using the integrated PoINT Virtual File Systems (PoINT VFS). write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
