StorageTek ACSLS Manager Software Options
|
Sun StorageTek ACSLS High Availability Solution provides dual-server, fault-tolerant library management, eliminating single points of failure in the management of your tape libraries and maximizing business continuity and data protection. ACSLS High Availability now supports Solaris Cluster software, providing a 100% Sun developed and supported solution.
Sun StorageTek Library Attach Software enables ACSLS-managed tape library solutions to be shared with a Microsoft Windows environment. Library Attach software works with ACSLS-enabled backup and storage applications. It uses a TCP/IP network to provide a seamless connection between Windows backup applications and StorageTek ACSLS Manager software.
Sun StorageTek MVS Client System Component (MVS/CSC) Software allows MVS clients to share library access with an open systems environment.
Sun StorageTek RMLS Client System Component (RMLS/CSC) Software allows i-Series (A/S 400) clients to share library access with open systems and mainframe environments.

High Availability and Rich Management Capabilities
|
|---|
|
Ultimate reliability
|
For maximum business continuity of Sun StorageTek libraries, look to the ACSLS High Availability (ACSLS HA) solution that incorporates the Solaris Cluster technologies. ACSLS HA helps eliminate single points of failure while managing Sun StorageTek tape libraries.

|
Advanced features provide flexibility
|
StorageTek ACSLS Manager software helps to fully optimize libraries with advanced features like auditing, reporting, event-log recording, querying, issuing service requests, and automated drive cleaning. These features provide exceptional operational flexibility.
|
|
|
Security access control
|
No need to worry about unauthorized access. Add a level of security with administrator determined client access to StorageTek ASCLS Manager software through passwords and permissions.
|
|
|
Web Browser-Based User Interface and logical partitioning*
|
The user interface runs as an application within the Java Web console. It allows you to perform most legacy operations and the operations related to logical library management. When you partition the Sun StorageTek SL8500, SL3000 or SL500 libraries into logical libraries, you can assign volumes and drives to enable library consolidation and gain capacity on demand.
|
|
Robust Cartridge and Volume Support
|
|---|
|
No more lost cartridges
|
Lost cartridges due to ejection or absence are easily reactivated and ready for immediate use upon re-entry into the environment. StorageTek ACSLS Manager software recovers volumes instead of automatically deleting them.
|
|
|
Cartridge exchange support
|
StorageTek ACSLS Manager software supports the pass-through-port feature of Sun StorageTek libraries, providing for continuous operation. Sun StorageTek libraries can exchange cartridges between libraries. If all of a library’s tape drives are busy, the cartridge request can be passed to another library for processing.
|
|
Dynamic Resource Management
|
|---|
|
Prepare to go the distance
|
It’s easy to scale library environments to accommodate growth or additional applications. With the ACSLS media pool feature, each application or user is assigned its own pool of tapes to manage and pools can easily span physical libraries. Achieve near-continuous operations and save time by dynamically updating drives and configurations without restarting the application.
|
|
|
Tailor your library
|
StorageTek ACSLS Manager software allows you to choose the right mix of drive and media cartridge types in the same library, tuning resource use for the most cost-effective configuration.
|
|
Expanded Connectivity and Library Sharing
|
|---|
|
Seamless connection with Library Attach
|
Using a TCP/IP network, Sun’s StorageTek Library Attach software provides a seamless connection between Windows backup applications and ACSLS-managed libraries.
Library Attach can be used to allow Windows-based backup applications to share enterprise tape library resources with UNIX and/or mainframe clients. Library Attach also enables Windows clients to take full advantage of the time, money and resource saving features of Sun’s StorageTek tape libraries.
|
|
|
Share libraries in i-Series (AS/400) server environments
|
RMLS Client System Component (RMLS/CSC) software expands StorageTek tape library connectivity to the i-Series (AS/400) product line. RMLS/CSC software allows libraries to be shared in AS/400 server environments, across mixed server environments, and on different computing platforms.
