Smart Storage Jukeman

SmartStor Jukeman is a complete read/write archival storage solution for multiple UNIX platforms, including Solaris, HP-UX, IBM-AIX, and Linux. SmartStor Jukeman is completely media independent, which means that users are free to configure any combination of MO, WORM, CD, or DVD libraries on a single server and view the entire configuration as one large network storage repository. SmartStor Jukeman is easy to install and use, providing a common interface to document imaging; COLD; prepress; legal; e-mail archive; audio; video-on-demand; banking; health care; web-based storage; and other data-intensive, e-business, and Internet applications.

• Complete media independence, supporting any combination of MO, WORM, CD, CD-R, and DVD hardware on a single server.
• No requirement for 3rd party SQL database, client, or special networking software.
• Industry standard file format for not only CD/DVD media but also MO and WORM media.
• Multithreaded architecture — unparalleled speed and throughput even under high-volume usage.
• On-the-fly administration of media with no downtime.
• On-line management statistics.
• Built-in disaster recovery through journalling.
• Simple-to-use API toolkits.

Media Independence
Increasingly, applications and network environments are faced with greater data volume and higher availability storage needs. SmartStor Jukeman’s media independence means that users are free to configure any combination of MO, WORM, CD, or DVD devices on a single server and view the entire configuration as one large network storage repository. Users need not be concerned with the technology differences of each of the devices. Jukeman manages the entire storage subsystem and provides transparent access to terabytes of on-line data.

Data Verification
SmartStor Jukeman’s “Triple Check” feature ensures that data is written to the media, byte for byte. This automated comparison capability is activated to verify that the data written to the media is identical to the source. The first verification is performed at the drive level, the second by the file system during the write process, then “Triple Check” verifies that the data has been successfully written. Jukeman considers data to have been successfully written after this careful verification and only then proceeds to synchronize the file system views and system cache.

Fault Tolerance
SmartStor Jukeman provides customers with Fault Tolerant data storage solutions. Jukeman’s journaled file system tracks the status of all system functions and transactions and automatically updates as data is written or retrieved by network users. In the event of a system failure, Jukeman is able to restart and recover the directory structure, cache content, and status of the library and drives, and return the system to its proper state prior to the failure.

Data Replicator
Organizations often have the need to clone data stored inside a library for distribution and disaster recovery. Jukeman’s “Data Replicator” feature automates the process of duplicating MO, WORM, DVD and CD media for distribution. Users can simply select the data source to clone parts of the data stored in the library.
