Managed Server HSM, NetApp Edition

CaminoSoft's solution extends Managed Server functionality by providing the capability to migrate files from NetApp Filer network-attached storage devices to central storage pools, specialized content-addressed storage, and other NetApp subsystems.

Infinite Storage for Enterprise Data

Nearly all companies are experiencing an explosion in the demand for storage, driven particularly by space hungry applications like CAD, multimedia, computer graphics, document imaging, email and user-controlled directories. Meeting the demand for increased storage is only one aspect of this problem. Managing the data intelligently, growing the storage infrastructure cost-effectively, and conforming to regulatory mandates for data, while providing users with immediate access to all of their files are the real challenges.

NetApp Edition Offers a Cost-Effective Solution

CaminoSoft’s Managed Server HSM™ – NetApp Edition provides a straightforward, cost-effective solution for handling the complexities of NetApp data storage management. NetApp Edition offers all of the features of CaminoSoft’s standard Managed Server HSM, including support for multiple, off-the-shelf storage target devices. Whether used in a SAN or NAS environment, the combined storage options made available by the NetApp Edition provide a storage hierarchy capable of virtually infinite storage growth with increased data availability and data retention – while leveraging your existing storage investment.

NetApp Edition – How it Works

Like our standard Managed Server HSM solution, NetApp Edition enables the administrator to configure policies and usage of the “virtual” Central Storage Pool and migrate files residing in the NetApp environment that are infrequently accessed to the central pool. By leveraging NetApp’s FPolicy APIs, NetApp Edition allows migration of inactive files to a variety of target environments including NetApp Fibre and IP SAN, NAS as well as third party vendor environments including JBOD, tape library, EMC Centera, IBM Tivoli, Archivas, Hitachi HCAP and more. The policy-driven engine provides for “lights-out” operation while providing complete, transparent access by users to all of their data.
