CoreData Inc. Offers Remote and Mobile Backup Solution through IBM Sales Channels.PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 1998--CoreData Inc.(TM), Monday announced that three of its remote and mobile backup software See backup program. (tool, software) backup software - Software for doing a backup, often included as part of the operating system. Backup software should provide ways to specify what files get backed up and to where. products will be distributed through International Business Machines Corp.'s (IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) ) worldwide direct and indirect sales channels. The software products; RemoteWorx for ADSM (ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager) The former name of a comprehensive software system for backup, HSM and disaster recovery from IBM. It backed up data from more than 25 client and server platforms to an ADSM server running on any IBM platform, HP-UX, Solaris , RemoteWorx Space Manager for ADSM and RemoteWorx Auto Client Installer work in conjunction with IBM(R)'s ADSTAR ADSTAR Automated Document Storage & Retrieval System * Distributed Storage Storing data in multiple computers or in computers that are geographically dispersed. This was an early term for storage that evolved into SANs and storage virtualization. See SAN and storage virtualization. Manager. Collectively, they deliver a comprehensive solution for remote software installation, automated backup, data retrieval and server management. "Mobile and remote PCs and data are critical business assets that require the same safeguards as locally networked desktop PCs and data protected by ADSM," said Mary LaVern, IBM director IBM Director is an element management system (EMS) (sometimes referred to as a "workgroup management system") first introduced by IBM in 1993 as NetFinity Manager. The software was originally written to run on OS/2 2.0. and business line manager, Storage Management Software, San Jose San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. "CoreData's RemoteWorx for ADSM offers remote and mobile PC customers the ability to backup over low-bandwidth, intermittent network connections in a fast and easy manner to ADSM. This provides a distinctive competitive advantage for the ADSM solution." RemoteWorx for ADSM includes CoreData's highly efficient, patent pending `byte-level change detection technology'. Rather than transmitting and storing entire backup files, RemoteWorx detects, records, transmits and stores only the specific bytes of changed data for each file. Also, RemoteWorx processes backups off-line, preparing the changed bytes of data for transmission the next time the PC is connected to the network. This combination results in faster, more efficient backup and restore operations and lower data transmission costs than any other remote backup solution. Most backup software checks the archive bit See archive attribute. for each data file, which can change if the file is opened, but not changed. This prompts extensive, unnecessary backup of unchanged data. RemoteWorx gains additional efficiency by backing up the bytes of data from only those files that have changed. RemoteWorx Space Manager for ADSM utilizes the ADSM API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. to automatically migrate data from the RemoteWorx Server to ADSM and ensures data storage availability. To ensure consistent disk space availability for RemoteWorx backups and to maintain essential client account information for RemoteWorx operation, CoreData developed RemoteWorx Space Manager for ADSM. This product tracks usage of all files on the RemoteWorx Server, and then, through the ADSM API, selectively migrates files to ADSM Servers according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. a prescribed set of business rules including age of file and high/low thresholds by percentage or number of megabytes of available disk space. "ADSM customers will appreciate the added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added. Used as a measure of shareholder value, calculated using the formula:
Under the agreement, IBM will also distribute CoreData's RemoteWorx Auto Client Installer, an efficient software tool that gives network managers centralized control 1.

In joint air operations, placing within one commander the responsibility and authority for planning, directing, and coordinating a military operation or group/category of to pre-configure, distribute and install RemoteWorx Client software on mobile and remote PCs anywhere in the world. Network managers can customize settings for individuals or groups and distribute the self-installing software to each user via e-mail attachment A file that rides along with an e-mail message. The attached file can be of any type. E-mail programs make it easy to attach a file. For example, in Eudora, all you do is select Attach from the Message menu, browse through the folder hierarchy to find the file you want and then double . The Client automatically installs on the remote user's PC when they double-click the attachment.
