FileTek Announces General Availability of StorHouse/CCi for Web-Based StorHouse System Administration and Monitoring
Cutting-Edge StorHouse/CCi Reaffirms StorHouse as Top Storage Virtualization Product
Rockville, MD, - November 17, 2009 – FileTek, Inc., a pioneer developer of large-scale storage virtualization, data management, and information governance solutions, today announced the general availability of StorHouse/CCi, an innovative, web-based system administration and monitoring console for its award-winning, large-scale StorHouse® storage virtualization and data management platform. StorHouse/CCi gives administrators a single point of contact for managing, tracking, and reporting on all StorHouse servers and resources, including storage devices, diverse media types, relational and file-based data, database components, file system interface attributes, and policy settings to ensure consistent, automatic, uninterrupted operation. In essence, StorHouse/CCi is a full-service, one-stop control center that presents a complete real-time picture of StorHouse performance, availability, accessibility, and overall status.
StorHouse/CCi supports user-friendly, easy-to-navigate menus. For example, administrators can create, modify, and automate storage allocation policies and optimize configuration parameters that affect storage allocation and control, redundancy, replication, migration, retention, and recovery.
As part of its broad scope, StorHouse/CCi supports monitoring, tracking, and alerting features that provide administrators with real-time access to performance, status, and threshold information. Administrators can collect this information not only to support capacity planning but also to isolate and solve potential problems before they occur. They can also use StorHouse/CCi to display system diagnostics and generate performance reports that detail system, storage, device, media, usage, network, and user statistics, among others. This sophisticated built-in, proactive approach to system management and maintenance is a major factor that distinguishes StorHouse from the competition.
“StorHouse is the top product on the market today for storing, accessing, managing, and backing up large volumes of relational and file-based data. The system provides ease of operation, uninterrupted data availability, interface flexibility, and advanced storage virtualization features. Adding StorHouse/CCi to the StorHouse family of products reaffirms this position and raises the StorHouse gold standard yet another notch,” commented Chuck Whinney, StorHouse General Manager at FileTek. “With its versatility and drill-down detail, StorHouse/CCi is unmatched system administration technology that simplifies managing terabytes to petabytes of data on diverse storage devices throughout the enterprise. Administrators have secure remote and local access to a wide menu selection from any web-enabled computer. In addition, StorHouse/CCi supports an underlying command line interface that can be used to create comprehensive macros tailored to individual StorHouse installations. I am looking forward to rolling out StorHouse/CCi to existing customers and introducing it to the prospects in our ever-growing pipeline.”
