Incorporating
their many years of experience in optical storage and file
systems, PoINT Software engineers have developed VJB, Virtual
Jukebox File System technology. Using proven technologies and
reliable standards, files can be written with compliant Write
Once attributes on to standard hard disc based RAID systems.
Data volumes remain accessible from RAID via a secure read
only file system and may not be altered or destroyed. Secondary
storage of data volumes on DVD media provides redundancy for
off sight storage and disaster recovery.
Jukebox
Features, RAID Reliability
PoINT VJB, Virtual Jukebox Software provides an ideal archival storage solution
for applications and environments requiring a highly accessible Write Once
storage system. VJB provides all of the features and advantages of a standard
optical jukebox storage system, without the need for costly robotic mechanisms
and media. VJB incorporates PoINT ‘s Dynamic Image Recording Engine, our Patent
Pending technology which provides a unique method of writing Data Volumes to
industry standard UDF (Universal Disc Format) DVD image files located on standard
RAID storage devices. These DVD image files are represented by the Virtual
File system as standard Windows folders.
Transparent
Access for ANY Application
Data Volume sets are represented as standard network shares which remain accessible
from RAID via a secure read only file system and may not be altered or destroyed.
Transparent, Write-Once Read Many (WORM) access is provided for any application
or client without the need for API interface, client software or alteration
of workflow. The Windows mechanisms for sharing and security apply to the Virtual
Jukebox File system shares as well.
Compliance,
Redundancy, and Disaster Recovery
PoINT VJB technology offers cost-effective data storage and management tools
designed to address growing regulatory compliance requirements. Data Volumes
written to the RAID system can be mirrored to actual DVD media sets using standard
DVD-R drives in order to provide redundancy, off sight storage and disaster
recovery. An Off Line database provides complete file system details of all
off line media, allowing recovery of individual files and restoration of complete
Data Volumes.
Complete
File System Management
PoINT VJB provides complete control and management of the file system. An Administration
console works transparently with the Windows file system to allow Data Volumes
to be managed and shared. Volumes dynamically increase in capacity as needed,
and may also be restricted in size if required.
Sophisticated
Caching and Migration
A multi level caching mechanism allows files to be transparently migrated from
Rewriteable to Write Once volumes based upon conditions such as data age, volume
size, or when last modified. An “Attribute Based” utility allows migration
to the WORM volume based upon change of file attributes using the standard
Windows file system.
Easy
Installation and Setup
PoINT VJB software is designed to be installed on any Windows Server NAS Storage
system to create a safe, compliant write once storage device. Installation
is fast and setup is easy. The User Interface offers a familiar look and feel,
and provides menu driven access to all functions.
Low
Cost and Expandable
PoINT VJB software has a basic device fee of $2500 which
includes support for up to 750GB of Write once storage, and
supports up to 2 DVD-R recorder drives for producing redundant
DVD media sets. Additional managed capacity can be purchased
to allow up to 10TB of WORM storage on a single appliance. |
