Managed Server HSM provides a simple, cost-effective solution
for managing the complexities of data storage management.
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, last but not least, user-controlled directories.
Keeping costs down and intelligently managing the addition
of data storage is becoming a more difficult
task.
Users continue to read and write files
to the same servers, volumes and folders as
they always have. In the background, Managed Server
HSM, based on policies set by its administrators,
monitors volume watermarks and dynamically compares against real-time
storage utilization to make decisions about migrating files
that are infrequently accessed. Migrated file candidates are
transparently relocated to the Central Storage Pool (usually
in off-peak hours).
Some may argue that disk is
getting cheaper so just chuck more disk at
the problem - but this only exacerbates the
problem. If data is so large that it
takes 3 days to restore a failed server
- and if your data is doubling every
year then next year it will take 6
days to restore - and this represents increased
business risk.
Managed Server HSM Key Features:
- Aggregates multiple storage resources (general purpose servers, NAS devices, etc.) into one “virtualö Central Storage Pool
- Automates file migration and retrieval
- Provides immediate and seamless access to migrated files
- Installs easily and quickly with no required server downtime
- Requires minimal IT intervention allowing for easy implementation
- Enables full administrative control over migration activity via comprehensive policy maintenance
