StorageWorks File System Extender (FSE) Client for Windows - T3649A
HP StorageWorks File System Extender (FSE) belongs to the new generation of data management software solutions from the HP Information Lifecycle Management portfolio. Proven and tested, it is designed to be flexible, with a client/server architecture that can build a consolidated or distributed data management infrastructure. In both installations, the FSE client manages the migration of system file(s) between application/file servers, and the FSE server manages the secondary storage used for the file migration. Operation is automatic and transparent with a resulting increase in efficiency of data management and reduced storage costs.
Using the FSE client and based on business needs, rules are defined to identify files for migration from the production storage system to the secondary storage media. Typically, active data is maintained on high-performance product storage systems, while inactive data is moved to the lower cost secondary storage. For added flexibility, an FSE client-managed file system can also be optionally upgraded to a Write Once Read Many (WORM) file system. The FSE server controls the storage migration media for one or more FSE clients.
Improving on traditional data management products, FSE offers a single secondary storage layer made of multiple media types. This allows different policies and migration media to be used to meet the varying needs of individual users, departments, and even within an application itself. And unlike competing products, FSE supports Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems and can migrate files to a consolidated storage migration layer (FSE server) from either. And while traditional hierarchal storage management (HSM) products rely on WORM media such as optical or tape, FSE provides the benefits of WORM while utilizing non-WORM media such as an existing, or new, file system.
Included with the File System Extender is 9x5 phone-in and update support for one year after the date of purchase.
