Legato SmartMedia SmartMedia addresses enterprise requirements for library and drive sharing and central tape and device management. SmartMedia is an open media management application that provides standard interfaces for: · · · · Applications Robotic library control Drive control Administration 11G6-1299A-WWEN Enterprise Backup Solution for Legato NetWorker 12 SmartMedia enables enterprises to better manage their growing base of removable media and devices distributed across a heterogeneous storage environment. Whether deployed within or across data zones, SmartMedia: · · · Acts as a gateway for drive and library sharing Controls application requests for media from a central location Allows all SmartMedia aware applications to access and share all SmartMedia attached devices. With the growth of removable media, media management has evolved from being an afterthought to being one of the most significant considerations when selecting an overall solution. NetWorker dramatically increases return on investment for hardware and reduces overall storage costs through centralized, automated operations. SmartMedia increases the manageability, availability, and performance of NetWorker in an enterprise storage environment. NetWorker customers achieve the following benefits: · · Simultaneous operations for tape labeling and library inventorying Central media management within or across data zones Note: LCP support is only available with Microsoft Windows NT. One server on the SAN must be running Windows NT to host the LCP component for this solution. SmartMedia acts as a broker for device use. SmartMedia places requests from multiple NetWorker servers or Storage Nodes in a queue, and robotic arm operations are completed in the order they are received. The robotic library control is provided by an LCP running on the SmartMedia server. [. . . ] Autochangers and silos can contain multiple storage devices (tape drives or optical drives) and can automate the tasks of loading, unloading, and labeling storage media. This automation allows backups to proceed without intervention. High-speed devices are configured for higher throughput, so they can write data to media faster and in larger blocks. 11G6-1299A-WWEN Enterprise Backup Solution for Legato NetWorker 15 File Device Type and Save Set Staging Support for the file device type enables backup to disk.
