| Moonwalk Software Unveils Universal File Area Network Moonwalk has announced Moonwalks Universal File Area Network (FAN). Moonwalk's FAN boasts support for all major existing hardware and operating systems platforms, immediately improving enterprise data management and migration across heterogeneous environments throughout a global unified namespace. The Taneja Group defines a File Area Network as a systematic approach to organizing the various file-related technologies in the enterprise, such as storage devices, namespaces, file data optimization and file optimization services. The goal of a FAN is to provide IT managers with a scalable flexible and intelligent platform for the cost-effective delivery of enterprise information file information and a much higher level of file control. Moonwalk achieves all of the FAN objectives with an enterprise data management system that allows companies to minimize storage expenditures while maximizing their existing storage infrastructure. Moonwalk provides universal FAN support with a vendor-agnostic hardware-independent design that runs on all major OS platforms, including Window, UNIX, Linux and Netware. The Moonwalk universal FAN platform empowers IT managers for the first time to proactively manage the migration, copying and movement of files throughout the enterprise. Moonwalk enables IT managers to easily and quickly create a set of centrally-managed rules throughout the enterprise, establishing policies for file management, and then quickly modify those rules to meet changing business requirements with the certainty that those policies will be transparently enforced throughout the FAN. By enforcing standards and customized rules for backing up, moving, copying and migrating files, often offloading as much as 90 percent of infrequently accessed or changed data from primary servers to less expensive hardware, Moonwalk increases efficiency, reduces expenses, and still allows for rapid recovery even in the case of catastrophic failure. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
