Automated Administration of the SAN environment:
REELswitch eliminates the need for manual administration of the
SAN by sensing the status of tape devices connected to the SAN
and interfacing with the Hub and/or Switch to automatically
switch tape devices. Other solutions require operator
intervention for switching.
Automated Operations:
REELswitch automates the labor-intensive tasks involved with
general library maintenance. These automated tasks include
off-site tape rotation, tape inventory, removal and stocking of
scratch tapes and tape drive cleaning.
IntegriCheck:
REELswitch's IntegriCheck feature improves the integrity of tape
content and quickly isolates problems for resolution.
IntegriCheck detects faulty hardware and automatically senses if
a library door is open. It also tests for defective or missing
tapes. When problems are detected, REELswitch can alert an
administrator via a third-party application, such as a pager,
e-mail, fax or through a systems management interface.
Automated Library Inventory:
REELswitch dramatically reduces the personnel time required to
perform manual inventories. The software quickly mounts and
unmounts every tape, verifies tape identity, fingerprints new
tapes and updates the catalog. It even ensures the integrity of
library tape content.
REELswitch will be a topic of discussion at FORUM 1999, StorageTek's annual user group conference, being held October 3-6 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel The Regency Hotel was a hotel in Denver, Colorado.
