NOVELL STORAGE MANAGER
Novell® File Management Suite—Controlling Data Storage Costs and Chaos.
As the primary output of employee creativity, unstructured data is the fastest growing data-type in organizations, creating storage management challenges that increase IT costs and limit business profitability. Novell® File Management Suite addresses these challenges through identity-driven storage management that turns file system chaos into organized efficiency. It enables you to better track and understand storage growth, allocate and manage storage based on its relevance and value to the business, save money in the administration and pro¬curement of storage resources, and unlock the hidden value in your data.
PlateSpin® Migrate
Live Transfer: Enable the migration of active servers without taking the source servers offline or having to reboot.
Block-Level and File Replication: Move highly transactional workloads such as mail servers and database servers with block-level replication, ideal for synchronizing large database servers and enabling efficient offsite data transfers. For static workloads, file-based replication provides fast, efficient and cost-effective workload migration while maintaining server uptime.
Server Sync™: Reduce the risk of workload relocation. Perform an initial transfer to the target site or host, test the workload in the new location while continuing to run the source and then perform a final sync before cutting over the workload.
Migration Speed and Scalability: Perform up to 40 simultaneous workload migrations on high-performance hardware to dramatically reduce the time required to complete data center tasks such as server consolidation or hardware migration.
Remote Control: Control all your migrations from a single console—no agents, boot CDs or physical contact with source or target machines. Saves you the time and costs on having IT staff onsite at remote locations.
