Specifically, four categories of storage strategies may be considered under the auspices of ILM. solutions with powerful new GridStor(TM) technology. An expansion of CommVault's Common Technology Engine, GridStor is a ground-breaking technology that leverages advanced data movement and provides transparent redundancy, failover, storage pooling, provisioning and load balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them of nearline and offline storage Refers to disks and tapes that are kept in a data library. Offline data cannot be accessed from a computer or terminal until it is mounted in the drive. . GridStor allows IT organizations to use policy-based automation to match the performance and cost of near line and off line storage to data access, retention and storage needs. For the first time, customers can ensure the entire lifecycle of their information is managed with consistency, agility and effectiveness. With GridStor, storage hardware consumption is dramatically reduced while performance, reliability and use of secondary storage resources is increased. As a result, customers benefit from unsurpassed reliability, performance and flexibility of the CommVault QiNetix software suite -- advantages that meet pressing requirements to reduce IT costs, simplify usage and hasten data recovery in heterogeneous enterprises. QiNetix version 4.2 software expands functionality that enables the flexible deployment of secondary data into a heterogeneous enterprise to better align storage costs and performance to data availability Refers to the degree to which data can be instantly accessed. The term is mostly associated with service levels that are set up either by the internal IT organization or that may be guaranteed by a third party datacenter or storage provider. . The software is media independent, providing the flexibility to match any raid, disk or tape device to data access needs. Expanded core capabilities include: -- Broad disk-to-disk capabilities allowing high performance, virtualized disk-to-disk-to-tape data movement -- Intelligent media management that maximizes reliability and data availability through storage resource pooling and data path failover -- Automatic provisioning See automated provisioning. of near line and off line storage -- Seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. of secondary storage with QiNetix backup/recovery, data migration and archiving "QiNetix 4.2 raises the bar for highly efficient and cost-effective Information Lifecycle Management," says Bob Hammer Howard Robert Hammer (* March 3 1930 in Indianapolis) is an US-american jazz musician (pianist and arranger).
