BOSTON, Mass., February 11, 1992 -- Emerald Systems is demonstrating its
|
|
newest network data management software, Xpress Librarian, here this week
|
|
at Booth 2724 during NetWorld '92 Boston.
|
|
|
|
Xpress Librarian is much more than a traditional backup/restore system.
|
|
Designed for ease of use, it runs under Microsoft Windows in either
|
|
standard or enhanced mode from the administrator's workstation and is the
|
|
first such software with several advanced features, allowing disk
|
|
grooming, file aging and archiving.
|
|
|
|
With Xpress Librarian, users can select specific files or groups of files
|
|
for off-line archival on the basis of several different user-specified
|
|
criteria. The file-aging feature allows users to set aging criteria using
|
|
a variety of parameters, including access or modification date. Thus,
|
|
files that have been inactive for a given period of time easily can be
|
|
archived to tape.
|
|
|
|
Xpress Librarian also lets network administrators monitor how the server
|
|
disk space is being used. The file usage utility allows them to search the
|
|
network by individual user to determine how network space is being used --
|
|
and who is using it. This is an important data management and network
|
|
trouble-shooting tool.
|
|
|
|
When a file needs to be restored, Xpress Librarian will direct the user to
|
|
the exact location of every version of that file -- even if it resides on
|
|
several different tapes. When the desired version is selected, Xpress
|
|
Librarian will prompt the user for the correct tape and begin restoration
|
|
of the file. When used with the Quick File Access feature found in many
|
|
Emerald Systems tape drives, this process usually is completed in less
|
|
than two minutes.
|
|
|
|
"It's a joy to use," says the computer systems manager for a civil
|
|
engineering and survey company in Grand Rapids, Mich., when asked how he
|
|
liked Xpress Librarian. The network manager for a large department store
|
|
chain headquartered in Seattle said he found Xpress Librarian
|
|
"straightforward and easy to install and use."
|
|
|
|
"We upgraded to Xpress Librarian primarily because it allows us to find
|
|
files quickly," said the network administrator for an international
|
|
management company in Atlanta, Ga.
|
|
|
|
As Emerald Systems President and CEO James D. Norrod points out, "Xpress
|
|
Librarian is the premier software product in our migration from being the
|
|
industry's best developer of tape backup products to being the leading
|
|
supplier of network data management solutions."
|
|
|
|
The new network data management system is designed for mid- to high-range
|
|
networks and supports a variety of hardware platforms, ranging from 250 MB
|
|
1/4" tape to 5.0 GB 8mm systems. Xpress Librarian is compatible with other
|
|
Emerald Systems software products and supports NetWare 2.15 and higher and
|
|
DOS 3.3 and higher. It operates on a 286 or 386 workstation.
|
|
|
|
Emerald Systems supplies high-quality network backup and data management
|
|
solutions worldwide. For further information about Xpress Librarian,
