Single Volume View
Multiple pieces of archival media may be combined
to create single or multiple logical volumes that span the media and jukebox
boundaries. With the appearance of a standard magnetic disk, access to the data
stored in the volume is entirely transparent to users and their applications.
Off-Line Volume Tracking
By providing a mechanism to track media outside of the
jukebox, logical volumes may grow beyond the available on-line capacity. With
the entire filesystem directory structure cached for easy data selection,
prompts are made and email notification can be sent for the retrieval of
off-line media.
Automated Data Migration
With automatic data migration you can be sure the data
is being stored securely at all times and is available when you need it.
QStar‘s HSM utilizes both high speed magnetic disk and secure archival media
to provide the optimal combination of performance and security for your data.
Transaction Logging Cache
The cache implements full "transaction logging
technology" for improved reliability and speedy recovery in the event of a
system failure. Combined with QStar’s improved directory archive management,
data access downtime is significantly reduced.
Schedule Archiving
Archiving may be scheduled to take place hourly, daily,
weekly or monthly and at any particular point in time to suit the business
operations, thus providing the ability to tune the system to achieve maximum
productivity. A high water mark overrides the schedule to ensure the cache never
becomes too full with un-archived data.
On-Line Back and Restore
With a complete self-describing filesystem written to
the secure archival media and data migrated continuously and incrementally, the
risk of data loss and the need for daily backups are removed. With QStar’s
on-line restore, previous versions of archived data may also be recovered.
Media Transportability
With either QStar’s Standard Data Format (SDF),
QStar’s Optical File System (OFS) or Universal Disk Format (UDF), the logical
volumes created may be physically transported between different UNIX platforms,
and even across to Windows NT/2000.
Advanced Features
QStar’s Copy Disk utility makes an exact duplicate of
media in a set allowing for safe storage of data at an offsite location. This
utility can be set to run automatically on a per set basis or manually per disk.
The Data Compaction utility reclaims blocks after modifying or deleting files,
making full use of the storage media. And, with an intelligent built in
Scheduler, both Copy Disk and Data Compaction, as well as archiving and media
erasing, can be scheduled to run at specific times of the day.
