Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS)
Manager™ software |
| |
| ACSLS
Manager™ software is a UNIX-based library-enablement
application for mainframe, AS/400, UNIX and NT
platforms. ACSLS Manager software functions as the
central service provider for all library operations. The
recognized standard in automated library management
software for Open Systems environments, it efficiently
shares library resources with just about any application
on almost any system. |
| |
|
Applications |
Tape library management
ACSLS Manager software can act as the central library
service provider for one or several libraries, allowing
you to manage library resources from a single location. |
| |
|
Benefits |
Management tool
For organizations operating in a heterogeneous
storage environment, ACSLS Manager software allows
you to consolidate storage assets and manage library
resources from a single, centralized location. ACSLS
Manager software works seamlessly with popular
operating systems, backup and restore products and
HSM applications. |
Error
detection
An event reporting system that detects a variety of
problems notifies customers so they can address
errors before they adversely affect any systems.
|
Dynamic
retrieval
Environmental information can be retrieved while the
system is operating. Dynamic retrieval expands your
ability to proactively monitor, assess, and adjust
operations to maximize storage system performance. |
Application neutral
ACSLS Manager software can collapse disparate,
application dedicated libraries to a central library
or a string of libraries. They can then be
configured to fully utilize available storage
capacity. Library resource sharing reduces costs for
capital equipment, maintenance and operations and
simplifies library management. |
|
| |
|
Features |
Command
tool
A common interface allows client applications to
issue library commands, including cartridge mounts,
dismounts, enters and ejects. |
Complete
reporting
You can fully optimize libraries with these advanced
reporting features: auditing, event-log recording,
querying and service requests. Other reporting tools
include display commands and event notification. |
High
availability
The drive allows users to dynamically update and
hot-swap drives and to change configurations without
restarting the application. |
Productive design
Highly flexible client/server architecture supports
legacy systems to protect capital investments in
libraries, drives and software applications. ACSLS
Manager software supports over 30 of today’s most
popular operating systems and more than 10 different
StorageTek libraries. |
