QStar® HSM
QStar HSM continues to set the standard for storage management by providing performance
and data security for the lifeblood of your business. With thousands of worldwide
installations on a wide variety of archival media and operating system platforms,
QStar is the right choice for your hierarchical storage management needs.
Multiple archival media surfaces or partitions may be combined to create single
or multiple logical volumes that can span both the media and library or jukebox
boundaries. With the appearance of a standard magnetic disk, access to the data
stored in the volume is entirely transparent to users and their applications.
By providing a mechanism to track media outside of the library or jukebox, logical
volumes are able to grow beyond the available online capacity. With the entire file
system directory structure cached for easy data selection, prompts are made and
email notification can be sent for the retrieval of offline media.
QStar® Data Director
QStar extends the boundaries of hierarchal storage management (HSM) by adding data
protection in the form of real-time mirroring to provide solutions to the most
challenging network storage issues with QStar Data Director. By taking the security
of a transaction logging cache, a system independent disk format and adding event
based mirroring, QStar Data Director provides the means to both manage and protect
your corporate archives.
QStar® Axxess
With the proliferation of CDs and DVDs in the data storage environment, the need
to efficiently manage them has become greater than ever before. QStar's CD/DVD
Axxess provides the degree of control and performance essential to provide fast
access to your company information. Caching technology, minimizing mount points
and providing ease of management of varying CD and DVD types makes QStar's Axxess
the obvious choice to control your disk storage.
QStar® Master
CDs and DVDs have become a well-established storage media within the workplace.
They are easily transported from one system to another and knowledge of their benefits
has significantly increased. The CD/DVD Master product works across the network
allowing both System Administrators and privileged clients to harness the power
to manage more than just the standalone CD/DVD-R writer. With QStar's
CD/DVD Master product, users get the ability to manage hundreds or thousands
of CD/DVDs, with ease, through an intuitive GUI and advanced management tools.
QStar's CD/DVD Master software combines all of the great features offered
in the QStar CD/DVD Axxess product with the ability to intelligently write and
group CD/DVD-R media within sets.
QStar® API
As integrators, VARs and end-users plan and implement storage solutions, either
locally or for a customer; the need to provide a complete package is becoming commonplace.
An API, Application Program Interface, facilitates a path to integrate front-end
applications with the QStar software. Whether trapping error messages or issuing
low-level jukebox calls, QStar API provides the catalyst between the softwares.
