(CAS), massive arrays of idle disks (MAID), and erasable and WORM
high-performance and high-capacity robotic tape
Supporting
ILM processes that closely align storage costs with the value of data.
Each StorHouse system can be configured so that application data resides
on the most cost-effective storage layer.
Managing
storage allocations transparently to insulate applications from the
devices they use
Accepting
newer and more advanced device/media technology with ease and migrating

A
Single Archive for File and Relational Data
StorHouse supports a single enterprise archive for NFS, NTFS, and CIFS
file system data and relational data. This unique archive can scale to
billions of application files or relational rows and petabytes of storage.
The StorHouse file system interface achieves scalability by using an embedded
relational database to store and track file locator information. The StorHouse
relational component achieves scalability with a patented table and index
segmentation method that supports rapid access to relational data on removable
media through standard SQL queries.
