ARKIVIO auto-migrator

Arkivio auto-migrator is an agentless data migration tool that allows organizations to painlessly transition to a consolidated file services environment based on the Hitachi NAS Platform. Arkivio auto-migrator can migrate data from any CIFS- or NFS-based file server or NAS device to the Hitachi NAS platform.

ARKIVIO auto-stor

ARKIVIO auto-stor is an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) software solution that effectively manages the explosive growth of unstructured data by integrating data and storage discovery, contextual classification, and automated management into one intelligent file system archiving solution. The software collects and analyzes detailed information about storage usage and the criticality of data within its lifecycle in order to classify and prioritize data and storage resources. Additionally, the solution enables administrators to create policies that automate data management (migration, move, copy, retention, and clean-up) to consolidate and optimize resources across a heterogeneous storage environment and improve operational efficiency.

ARKIVIO auto-xplor

ARKIVIO auto-xplor enables IT managers to collect detailed information about each device, volume, and file in a heterogeneous storage network, without requiring installation of server agents. When combined with Arkivio professional services, the solution enables IT managers to implement a detailed storage audit that gathers critical information and produces in-depth reports about the data storage environment. ARKIVIO auto-xplor identifies under-used storage, as well as volumes that are reaching full capacity in order to determine your precise storage requirements and avoid out-of-capacity occurrences. The solution also collects information about the value of your data over its lifecycle, such as space consumption by file types, last access, or modification time. By identifying and migrating less frequently accessed data off primary storage, IT managers can reduce the time required for backup and disaster recovery.

Mainstar Clone and Rename for IMS

Mainstar Clone and Rename for IMS (ICR) clones IMS subsystems quickly by volume-level using any fast-copy or on-site mirroring tool. ICR also takes care of updating the cloned IMS internals, resulting in a clone that is ready in minutes versus hours. ICR provides greater data access by simplifying and automating the process of cloning entire IMS subsystems or databases quickly and easily. Add-on functionality in Rapid Database Refresh for IMS (RDR) clones IMS databases quickly by data set using any fast or slow copy facility. The RDR feature also automates manual processes.
