DVS Introduces Dual DVS Software for Optimized DVS-SAN Management (2/4/2008)

With its DVS-SAN management tool, DVS provides perfect transparency to the users of its renowned central storage system. While the new management tool gives a perfect overview over the configuration, size, and workload of the DVS-SAN, the Spycer(r) data management software provides trouble-free content management.

DVS-SAN is a high-performance storage system capable of storing hundreds of terabytes of film and video data with extreme reliability. The DVS-SAN management tool and the Spycer(r) data management software provide an optimum overview over the performance as well as the contents of the central storage system. Visitors to the NAB may learn more about DVS storage solutions at booth no. SL2612.

The new management tool represents the entire DVS-SAN environment graphically and provides reliable information about the configuration, size, and workload of the central storage system. Thanks to continuous monitoring and reporting functions, administrators have data about the entire DVS-SAN architecture with its storage components, switches, servers, and systems at their disposal. The system can be monitored for trouble-free operation to prevent connection overload and bottlenecks.

The system automatically detects faults and malfunctions and immediately notifies the responsible administrator. With this management tool, DVS has created a unique method to conveniently monitor even complex DVS-SAN systems and ensure maximum continuous data throughput.

The management tool is ideally complemented by the Spycer(r) for DVS-SAN software to facilitate effective content management. Thanks to Spycer(r), the browsing and editing of image data and their metadata is not a problem any more. The extensive feature range includes high-speed copying as well as a reliable, high-speed defragmenting feature that is capable of defragmenting even image sequences. The entire feature set has been designed specifically for the special requirements of post-producing high-resolution film and video data and ensures fast and effective workflows.

Markus Kohaupt, DVS Product Manager: "Thanks to its scalability and performance, the DVS-SAN is an ideal storage system for the post production industry. Spycer(r) for DVS-SAN and our new management tool complement each other to build a high-performance dual-software environment and create the perfect platform for managing the SAN environment and its contents."
