CaminoSoft Completes Testing of Information Lifecycle Management Software under IBM System Storage Proven Program
CaminoSoft Corp., a leading provider of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions for Microsoft Windows 2000/2003, Novell NetWare and NetApp Filer environments, announced that its Managed Server HSMT - N series Edition has successfully completed interoperability testing with IBM® System StorageT N series unified storage products and has been confirmed as IBM System Storage ProvenT. The IBM System Storage Proven program builds on IBM's already extensive interoperability efforts to develop and deliver products and solutions that work together with third-party products.
"The IBM System Storage Proven program enhances the value and credibility of our solution to the end user customer. Our participation in this program and successful completion of interoperability testing at the IBM Innovation Center for Business Partners demonstrate that CaminoSoft and IBM are each focused on and committed to customer satisfaction," said Neil Murvin, CaminoSoft's chief technology officer. "CaminoSoft's policy-based software has historically provided the ability to migrate files to an IBM N series target when configured as a lower tier in a storage hierarchy. With Managed Server HSM - N series Edition, customers can now also migrate files from an N series source, configured as primary storage, to an unlimited number of storage tiers."
Target environments can consist of a broad range of networked storage solutions: IBM general purpose storage arrays; an IBM N series unified compliance storage platform via CaminoSoft's support of N series SnapLock®; and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager and IBM System Storage Archive Manager DR550 archival platform integration with CaminoSoft's Managed Server HSM - Tivoli/IBM System Storage DR550 Edition, which has been previously confirmed as IBM Ready for Tivoli SoftwareT.
Managed Server HSM - N series Edition runs on a Windows 2000/2003 server and provides true file system integration via IBM FPolicy® application programming interface. Key advantages for customers include: reclamation of N series unified storage space for active production file usage; dramatic reduction in the amount of time needed for backup (and recovery in the event of an outage); fast, efficient and transparent recall of migrated files; and facilitation of compliance with corporate and industry regulations governing file retention and deletion. Multiple N series systems and Windows and NetWare servers are easily administered from a central Windows console. CaminoSoft's white paper covering the N series edition can be accessed at http://www.caminosoft.com/solutions/managedns/.
The IBM System Storage Proven program supports the ability of independent software and hardware vendors to build high-quality solutions with the latest technology on leading storage platforms as well as reduce solution design time when multiple building blocks have already been pre-tested.
Managed Server HSM - N series Edition is now available and shipping.
