The magic essentially is that weve returned things to the file-system level, Mehta says. The software knows exactly what the user is trying to open, and weve made the whole process transparent.
The new FLM software fits into NuViews overall information lifecycle management (ILM) strategy, which aims to move data over to less expensive storage as its value diminishes (see ILM Remains Illusory). The companys existing StorageX software, for instance, provides a global namespace -- a sort of meta-directory of NAS namespaces -- that allows storage administrators to automatically move and manage data across heterogeneous NAS environments as if they were a single filer (see NuView Relocates NAS Data).
Mehta says he expects many companies will opt to combine the two software products. First you use StorageX to make 10 devices look like one device, and then you put FLM on there to move data between primary and secondary storage."
The FLM software, which is installed on Windows servers (nothing older than Windows 2000), costs between $10,000 and $25,000, depending on the NAS devices and the amount of storage its managing.
NuView already has one customer, Mustang Engineering LP, for its new software product, according to Mehta. In addition, he says, over a dozen other companies are in different stages of the purchasing process.
