FileTek's
StorHouse® is comprehensive information management software specifically
designed to administer massive amounts of structured and unstructured
fixed content, historical data, and their associated backups. StorHouse
technology combines industry-leading, scalable storage devices and Open
System processors with specialized storage management, file system interface,
and relational database management system software components.
Who
Uses StorHouse?
FileTek customers currently use StorHouse to manage massive amounts of
fixed content data typically generated by active archive and data warehouse
applications. Whether your data consists of telephone call detail records,
digital archives, customer statements, scientific experiments, point-of-sale
records, passenger tracking information, stock trades, e-mail, seismic
recordings, health care information, office documents, or other types
of detail data, StorHouse can manage it cost-effectively.
StorHouse
Interfaces
StorHouse supports a complete set of interfaces that enable it to operate
as a single system for storing and accessing all enterprise data. The
StorHouse interface set consists of:
-
An
NFS, NTFS, and CIFS file system interface
-
A
relational interface with support for SQL, ODBC, FTP, ESQL, and DB2
Wrapper
-
An
SAP-integrated interface to SAP Business Warehouse for offloading
accessible aged data to StorHouse
-
An
application program interface (API) that provides a record access
method.
Storage
Virtualization
StorHouse uniquely virtualizes and abstracts a managed hierarchy of storage
devices that can include always-spinning SCSI and SATA RAID, MAID, optical,
and tape in automated libraries to provide a single view of storage to
client applications. Because of this virtualization, users never need
to be concerned about where data resides.
Virtualization
enables:
-
Rapid,
direct access to data at the row- and record-level from all storage
levels (including tape)
-
Easy
reconfiguration of the storage technology mix to sustain the best
balance between performance and cost
-
Transparent
migration of data to new technologies, which can be easily introduced
into the hierarchy to replace obsolete storage components.
StorHouse
Architecture

The StorHouse software components are:
FileTek
also offers the StorHouse AMMO-II™ family of document management
and viewing products — AMMO-II,
LAN-AMMO, and Web-AMMO.
These products
electronically store and retrieve massive amounts of information currently
printed on paper or written to microfiche or microfilm. StorHouse AMMO-II,
combined with StorHouse/SM, StorHouse/RM, and StorHouse/Control Center,
provides a comprehensive, integrated solution for managing and viewing
customer and corporate data.
StorHouse MAID
In partnership with
COPAN Systems, FileTek supports the Revolution 200T massive arrays
of idle disks (MAID) technology as a principal StorHouse storage level.
MAID is a SATA-based storage subsystem where disks spin and consume power
only when required for data access. (Only 25% of MAID disks can be spinning
and directly accessible at one time.)
StorHouse has supported
automated optical and tape storage for many years, so managing a MAID
storage tier through a virtual tape interface is a natural fit. In fact,
StorHouse features improve MAID operation by optimizing spin-cycle management
and enhancing MAID reliability, performance, application
support, and scalability. Click StorHouse with
MAID for more information, including instructions for downloading
the white paper, "StorHouse with MAID: The Optimal Cost-Performance
Storage Architecture."
,
and IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB)
StorHouse transparency
features can extend Oracle,
SQL Server 7.0 and IBM
DB2 UDB databases. This means that Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM users
can connect to and access multi-terabytes of historical data—considered
too costly or cumbersome to maintain in these systems—on StorHouse
without modifying their native applications.
