DiskXtender (formerly OTG DiskXtender) is an optical
jukebox manager that provides the full features
and functionality of Hierarchical Storage Management
to migrate data files from file server hard disk to
DVD, Magneto-Optical, and UDO Optical jukeboxes on
a Windows, UNIX or Linux network.
By providing a robust set of data migration rules and
parameters, EMC DiskXtender becomes a powerful optical
jukebox management tool will meet the requirements for
any data storage application across any operating system.
EMC DiskXtender is recommended for the following
data storage applications:
Regulatory Compliance
Using EMC DiskXtender with a DVD jukebox
or Optical jukebox to store data on non-erasable,
non-rewriteable media types such as CD-R, DVD-R,
Magneto-Optical, and Ultra Density Optical to
comply with regulatory requirements for data
retention.
Data Archiving
Using EMC DiskXtender with a DVD jukebox
or Optical jukebox for long-term storage of
corporate data on secure, reliable, write-once
media types, such as CD-R, DVD-R, Magneto-Optical,
and Ultra Density Optical.
Secondary Storage
Using EMC DiskXtender with a DVD jukebox
or Optical jukebox with re-writeable media types
such as DVD-RAM, Magneto-Optical, and Ultra
Density Optical, to store large volumes of information,
and reduce storage and backup requirements on
local server hard drives and disk arrays.
Some highlights
of EMC DiskXtender include:
- Flexible
File Migration – Migrates files
to Optical Media based on rules such as file
size, file owner,
file extension (.TIF, .PDF, .DOC), as well as
date driven criteria such as creation date,
modification
date, or
last access date.
- Task Scheduler – Schedule
tasks such as file migration, format media,
copy disk, and
media compaction
(re-claim
deleted space) at off-peak times of day.
- Copy
Disk – Automatically make backup
copies of optical media on a scheduled basis
such as nightly
at
2 a.m. or once a week on Sunday at 2 a.m.
- Disk
Caching – Use server hard disk space
to enhance read and write performance
by serving requests
for frequently
read files directly from the cache and
reducing media exchanges within the jukebox.
- Remote
Administration – Using the EMC
DiskXtender remote administration module,
media, volumes, and
configuration parameters can be managed
without having to physically
be at the jukebox server.
- Off-line Management – Media
can be removed from the optical jukebox
and files contained
within are
still referenced and available to the
file system.
- Reporting – Generate detailed
reports including system configuration parameters, media
usage, file
migrations, and more.
