GridStor Capabilities Controls How and Where Data is Moved Using Load-Balancing and Failover-Resume Capabilities
With the GridStor feature, you can count on automated load balancing and failover of any network-based or local data stream to deliver sophisticated control of where and how your data is moved, including complete device and storage media sharing.
GridStor works across Linux, UNIX and Windows Media Agents. If a data path or storage resource fails—for example., if a network, tape drive or Media Agent becomes unavailable—GridStor can use any other available resource to finish the job. GridStor also allows the exact same device and media to be used to complete the job, if it's available. So enterprises can fully leverage deployed resources, rather than be forced into using a single OS type or maintain standby storage resource pools.
GridStor dramatically improves reliability, storage media efficiency (tape utilization) and service-level performance.
