NetStorage OVM

OVM (One Volume Manager) software is dedicated to optical peripherals management. With the OVM now every type of optical technology available on the market can be integrated in Intranet/Internet environments without any modification of the existing layout. Optical libraries appear to the network users as a standard Mass Storage device. The most common optical technologies currently available on the market are supported by OVM: MAGNETO OPTICAL DISK (WORM and REWRITABLE), DVD-R, DVD-RAM.

Cache Management - Faster Performance
OVM (One Volume Manager) has an intelligent queuing process that caches data on the hard drive and at some point the data will be written to the jukebox media. The system administrator can configure the cache size to fit the needs of the applications. Writes and reads are made at the speed of the hard disk, which increases the speed of retrieving and writing data. User can select the disk where data needs to be flushed and bypass the automatic management process. The advantage: increased performance can now be used to fulfill more demanding application requirements.

Volume Size
There is no limitation to volume size, however separate volumes can be created with the maximum size of 64. The total number of media associated with the volume can be selected. Click here to view volume size images.

File Size
If your optical media is smaller than your large files, it is possible to set parameters in the OVM to allow for spanning of media.

Off-line Media Management
Media ejected from the jukebox or in a stand-alone drive can be accessed with the off-line feature. The OVM database is designed to give complete access to files when they are located on media or ejected from the jukebox library.

The OVM integrated database (OVMDB) allows the OVMFS the maximum flexibility and control to manage media inside or outside the jukebox. File properties are stored in the OVMDB to speed up file access and the "On-line OVMDB Update" allows the user to import media into the OVMDB during normal activities.

Recovery Procedure
All recovery procedures can be activated during normal activities of the OVM. This feature reduces the failure time of the OVM and is also able to index more than 100,000 files per hour.

Windows Protocol Compatibility
The native Microsoft protocol (SMB and LAN MANAGER TCP/IP based) is fully integrated with OVM. Common Win95/98 and NT client machines will be able to access data on the OVM system.

Novell Compatibility
Novell NFS users will have full access to OVM Volumes.

GUI
The JAVA powered user interface is completely independent from the hardware configuration. The Java engine gives complete Internet functionality to the OVM GUI to manage OVM from every machine equipped with a network browser.

OVM Log Files
Kernel modules (file systems, drivers, pseudo drivers) will display the error messages in the system console file in order to give detailed information in case of system failure. Application code, command line, C-libraries, Java classes generate their proper log file with the same purpose. The GUI interface summarizes the above messages in the specific language using the normal Applet check box.

Server Platform
CPU: Sparc and Intel
OS: Sun Solaris 2.6, 2.7, 2.8

Plug and Play
Implemented as a device driver, the OVM is easy to install and maintain. A system can be purchased (TeraBox™) or OVM software can be purchased separately.
