Knozall Software Announces HSM for NetWare That Works!Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2001 Knozall Software Inc. Thursday announced the shipping of FileWizard TSM TSM Tivoli Storage Manager TSM Transportation System Management TSM Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (stock symbol) TSM Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. , a NetWare Client The software in a desktop client machine that supports the IPX and NCP protocols required to access a NetWare server. Microsoft and Novell provide NetWare clients for Windows, and Unix and Macintosh support is also available. for TSM (Tivoli Storage Management). Built on proven FileWizard technology for managing NetWare files, FileWizard TSM enables hierarchical storage management See HSM. (HSM (1) (Hierarchical Storage Management) The automatic movement of files from hard disk to slower, less-expensive storage media. The typical hierarchy is from magnetic disk to optical disc to tape. ) on NetWare servers, when used with Tivoli's TSM. FileWizard TSM provides a rules driven automatic migration of files to the TSM storage pool, and transparent recall by the user or application. When the server usage reaches the high water mark set by the network manager, files that are migration candidates are moved to TSM storage. Once the low water mark is reached, the process automatically stops. Include and exclude statements, file size and age determine which files are migration candidates. File migration and recall are fully integrated with TSM and compatible with TSM backup and restore procedures. A stub file A data file or program that stands in for the original file. See HSM. containing the file identifying information is left on the NetWare server. FileWizard migration commands allow explicit migration control. For example, migration and recall of specified files can be done at the server console. Listing of migrated files and queries of the status of the managed file system are also available at the system console The system console, root console or simply console is the text entry and display device for system administration messages, particularly those from the BIOS or boot loader, the kernel, from the init system and from the system logger. . FileWizard TSM synchronizes the migrated files with the stub files left on the server, and has an "undelete To restore the last delete operation that has taken place. There may be more than one level of undelete, allowing several or all previous deletions to be restored. Files in Windows and Mac can generally be undeleted because they are only moved to the recycle bin or trash can when they are " capability which can re-create stub files if they do not exist for migrated files. Automatic migration of infrequently accessed files to the TSM storage pool and transparent recall of migrated files when accessed by users or application provide improved management of online disk storage. FileWizard TSM allows frequently accessed data to be placed on higher performing devices, while infrequently accessed data is placed on lower performing, less expensive devices. This process is transparent to the user and files can be recalled at any time from a workstation. FileWizard TSM saves storage space, management and user time, and therefore, money for companies using Tivoli's TSM. Requirements: NetWare servers running NetWare 4.x and higher TSM (Tivoli Storage Management) 3.7 and higher Price $3,000/server |
