Sun Storage Archive Manager

The Oracle corporation announced in the fall of 2012 the solutions Oracle Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 and Sun QFS 5.3 designed to simplify IT infrastructures of customers and to optimize management of data storage environments. "With an exit this solutions Oracle becomes the supplier of the tape systems with end-to-end integrity checking of data which will help customers to simplify and accelerate long process of verification of digital archive on absence of damage and the accessibility".

So, when using the tape drives Oracle StorageTek T10000C the command from the SAM-QFS system initiates verification of data on the most tape drive, without requiring their return transfer on the server. Oracle Sun Storage Archive Manager rationalizes processes of management of data at the expense of the separation of storage systems into levels based on politicians, helping customers to simplify management and to reduce data storage cost.

Along with verification of integrity of data on the tape drives StorageTek T10000C, the Oracle SAM-QFS environment supports new multi-layer system of storage which provides: the improved compatibility with Windows and Mac OS OS at the expense of the support of the CIFS/SMB and NFSv4 file systems which is built in Oracle Solaris 11 — expands possibilities of synchronization between these systems and the SAM-QFS file system for increase in convenience of using in heterogeneous data processing centers; the optimized analytics thanks to the new Static Defined Tracing tests which provide representation of transactions at the file level is strengthened by possibilities of performance review at fault finding and accelerate the problem resolution; expanded support of tape drives and software for the tape drives StorageTek T10000C with Standard and Volsafe carriers, the drives StorageTek LTO-5 with support of WORM technology, tape drives of IBM and HP LTO-5 and also Oracle Solaris 11 OS and software of Oracle StorageTek Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS) 8.0.1 and 8.0.2.

"A comprehensive set of software products of Oracle for storage systems helps to increase their efficiency and to simplify management — James Cates, the vice president of Oracle for development of the hardware systems noted. — The latest versions of Sun Storage Archive Manager and Sun QFS 5.3 contain a number of the advanced functions promoting closer integration with software products of Oracle and allowing customers to manage more effectively data and also to protect them using tape devices".
