CAMINOSOFT’S ILM SOLUTION FOR NETWARE ENHANCES INTEGRATION, INTEROPERABILITY, AND SUPPORT IN NOVELL-MICROSOFT ENVIRONMENTS

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 8, 2005--CaminoSoft Corp.(OTC.BB:CMSF - News), solutions for Novell NetWare & GroupWise and Microsoft Windows 200X environments, announced today that its ILM suite for NetWare 6.5 now incorporates an integrated, native Common Internet File System (CIFS) client. The CIFS enhancement, included in CaminoSoft’s Managed Server HSM™ v5.2 for NetWare, improves integration, interoperability, and support for organizations running a mixture of Novell and Microsoft servers.

 

Managed Server HSM software provides a cost-effective solution for reducing IT overhead, managing growing storage requirements, reclaiming costly high-performance SAN space, reducing backup and recovery time, and facilitating file retention and compliance. Based on administrator-defined policies, CaminoSoft’s software automatically relocates seldom-accessed files from high-performance disk to lower-cost storage pools, including S/ATA RAID disk arrays, general-purpose file servers, NAS targets, and optical and tape libraries. From a user’s perspective, these operations are transparent.


Neil Murvin, Chief Technology Officer at CaminoSoft, said: “Microsoft’s Windows 2000, 2003, and XP operating systems use CIFS as the standard protocol for sharing files across a network. When running Managed Server HSM with its native CIFS client, NetWare servers can now connect with and migrate/recall files directly to/from any of these Windows platforms and compatible CIFS target storage environments via pure IP connections. This eliminates the need to use IPX and run emulation software on Windows servers. For system managers and administrators, deploying a standard network protocol across departments and the enterprise leverages critical IT resources, consolidates operation, and simplifies support.”
