3 HyperFS, Strawberry, Velocity HyperFS High-Performance SAN Management Software HyperFS is a high-performance SAN file system, providing concurrent high-speed file access to heterogeneous clients across a single global namespace. Low Latency - HyperFS is optimized for long, sequential files with minimal network overhead, achieving up to 90% of underlying hardware speeds. Massive Scalability - HyperFS supports up to 144PB of storage and tens of billions of files in a single file system together with hundreds of clients in a single global name space. Storage capacity can be added rapidly and dynamically. Supports 16 concurrent file systems and up to 4096 LUNs. Global Name Support - All HyperFS clients share a single global namespace. Administrators can expand, move, re-balance and reconfigure storage without affecting how users view and access it while incurring no downtime.

4 Digital Content Archive Digital Content Archive (DCA) DCA Manages Data Online, Near-line or Off-line/Off-site DCA is a highly efficient, purpose-built, content archiving platform that serves not only as your low-cost tier 2 disk storage solution, but also hosts the DCA s powerful HSM and archiving application. This dual-purpose storage server design is cost-effective, scalable and energy-efficient. The DCA server can be configured for your particular workflow requirements, enabling users to set the correct balance of disk storage, tape or other storage tiers. Assets are initially saved into the DCA server and filed in a normal folder. The asset will then automatically move to a near-line storage tier based on disk, tape, DVD or RDX while maintaining its information in the online file system. It will appear as if it is still online with all of the asset s metadata information. In addition, DCA will allow you to move and catalog the removable media offline to a shelf while the DCA maintains its location and the asset still appears to be online. Leaves copy on DCA near-line disk and also places a copy on removable media (tape, optical, RDX). Copy_To_HSM Share Writes directly to removable media leaving a stub file in archive manager file system. dca_hsm Share Writes directly to the DCA s NTFS File System only (near-line disk in DCA). nas Share Migrates copies to disk (near-line) and copies to removable media, leaving a stub file on the near-line disk. Policy-based migration moves content to removable media. Migrate _To_HSM Share All these features were designed with ease of use in mind. Rorke Data s system architects work with you to pre-configure the system and ensure it works upon installation.» Network-attached or SAN based» Multiple media tiers - supports disk and tape for short and long term retention» Virtualized archive - seen as a share or mount point» Encryption, retention management and replication options» Vaulting - off-site, DR copies of media managed and tracked» Operating system independent - supports Windows, Linux, UNIX or Mac» Compatible with most Media Asset Management applications» Tape-to-tape migration - Allows clients to maintain data when technology changes» Integrated with HyperFS for SAN archival DCA Bundles include: server, software, cache RAID and tape library 2012 Rorke Data, Inc.
