Fast, Simple Configuration and Management

Control and configuration of the StorageView Storage Manager is easily accomplished through the iSeries Navigator Console. Content storage management processes are consolidated into a single graphical interface. A comprehensive logging and messaging facility built into the interface makes exception and error management a straightforward operational task.

Integrated Optical Migration Manager

The StorageView connector is equipped with a flexible data migration facility that will move valuable repository data from your current optical or disk storage configurations to any StorageView-supported storage. The reliability and effectiveness of our migration manager has been demonstrated over the past four years in a broad range of client production environments.
Our migration manager is operationally transparent; you can seamlessly retrieve content from both your optical and replacement storage systems throughout the migration process.

Modular Architecture to Meet Your Future Needs

The StorageView Storage Manager implements an architected approach to storage interfaces. Current support is provided for any hierarchical file system that can attach to OS/400 and for IBM's SSAM and TSM interfaces, development is planned for connectors to support additional middleware and storage products.
