QStar HSM provides great performance and data security for the lifeblood of your business.

QStar’s HSM provides the security and accessibility you need for your data on your platform of choice.
Benefits
Single Volume View: Multiple pieces of archival media may be combined to create single or multiple logical volumes that span the media and jukebox boundaries. With the appearance of a standard magnetic disk, access to the data stored in the volume is entirely transparent to users and their applications.
Off-Line Volume Tracking: By providing a mechanism to track media outside of the jukebox, logical volumes may grow beyond the available on-line capacity. With the entire filesystem directory structure cached for easy data selection, prompts are made and email notification can be sent for the retrieval of off-line media.
Automated Data Migration: With automatic data migration you can be sure the data is being stored securely at all times and is available when you need it. QStar‘s HSM utilizes both high speed magnetic disk and secure archival media to provide the optimal combination of performance and security for your data.
Transaction Logging Cache: The cache implements full "transaction logging technology" for improved reliability and speedy recovery in the event of a system failure. Combined with improved directory archive management, data access downtime is significantly reduced.
Schedule Archiving: Archiving may be scheduled to take place hourly, daily, weekly or monthly and at any particular point in time to suit the business operations, thus providing the ability to tune the system to achieve maximum productivity. A high water mark overrides the schedule to ensure the cache never becomes too full with un-archived data.
On-Line Back and Restore: With a complete self-describing filesystem written to the secure archival media and data migrated continuously and incrementally, the risk of data loss and the need for daily backups are removed. With QStar’s on-line restore, previous versions of archived data may also be recovered.
Media Transportability: With either QStar’s Standard Data Format (SDF), QStar’s Optical File System (OFS) or Universal Disk Format (UDF), the logical volumes created may be physically transported between different UNIX platforms, and even across to Windows NT/2000.
