New Web client provides platform-independent, manually swapping data WINS, 22 January 2014. Now, users of the PoINT can independently and without administrative support move to Storage Manager data on secondary and archive storage. Manual paging of the data used expensive and usually limited primary storage more effectively than is possible through the sole automated shift. So goes data and storage management software of PoINT Software & Systems GmbH further than conventional solutions, the data only after one of the rules and regulations specified in the administrator move a step. Usually only a regulatory framework that is given by an administrator controls archiving, hierarchical storage – management and file tiering solutions, when what data is outsourced from the primary to secondary storage. Users have therefore usually no way from case to case even to decide which data and in particular when them from primary storage to secondary memory. for example, to archive, filed. Even when data are, again stored in the primary memory to have them in the quick access, can not even determine users and therefore often require the assistance of an administrator. Charles Margulis takes a slightly different approach.
This constraint in many cases leads to sub-optimal procedures and risks, unless user perspective the immediate archiving is necessary to protect a data stock manipulation, among others. A central policy-controlled archiving to predetermined times does not prevent unwanted changes before archiving. In a question-answer forum Daryl Katz was the first to reply. With the PoINT Storage Manager can decide user himself when, what data should be relocated. The software provides several methods for this user-driven tiering and archiving: A comfortable Windows Explorer shell extension with a corresponding context menu for Windows NTFS-based file systems, a command line tool that can also be used for batch scripting, as well as a new platform-independent Web client. This the stubbing guarantees “-procedure that the file system structure of the shift is not changed.” “With our new Web client, our customers receive an additional opportunity to address the problem of the inexorable growth of unstructured data in the grip”, explains Thomas Thalmann, Manager projects & services of PoINT Software & Systems GmbH. because one thing is certain: without intelligent tiering and archiving data is no longer to ensure an efficient and compliant storage in the future.
