Reputed provider of large scale data management and information governance solutions,

With this the migration of the complete StorHouse product portfolio to Linux is complete and all the allied modules can be hosted on a Linux distribution network through the cost-effective Open system server available today. These modules are also compatible with Solaris, HP-UX and AIX proprietary hardware platforms and easily deployed on the Windows servers.
With the complete port of the StorHouse product suite on to the Linux platform, the company hopes to see many more sales avenues in sectors which predominantly employ Linux. The customers also have the option to leverage the cost effectiveness and superior performance of Linux. The StorHouse and StorHouse/RFS offer entity-wide solutions that deliver never seen before flexibility, scalability, operational efficacy and data convenience, besides providing improved performance and mechanized system operation.
The StorHouse is a unique data administration and digital conservation solution which is tailor-made to manage extensive quantities of structured and unstructured fixed content, recorded and repetitive archive data and its backup and disaster recovery needs. The key components in the StorHouse suite are the StorHouse/SM software, the StorHouse/RM relational database management software and the StorHouse/RFS filing system. The product suite has a wide range of functionalities; it has an automated, mixed tier of traditional and new-age storage media to give a non-disruptive view of client applications, an unlimited scaling potential, data integrity and transparent access, embedded technology upgrade plans and de-migration functionalities.
The StorHouse/RFS is a cost-efficient file system interface. Its unique capability to enlarge to petabytes and more enables it to cultivate archives to many times its size, retaining its performance quality by making use of an innovative relational technique to store/mark file data. It also has all the functionalities of a regular NAS device and no API is needed. What distinguishes this from HSM systems is that the individual file system limitations are never a parameter for determining the number of stored files. With its hybrid tiered storage media, data accessibility is also not compromised.
