Vimar Corporation specializes in the distribution and integration of Optical and CD Management Software for fast, flexible, and transparent massive archival needs in Windows and Unix environments.
Organizations needing to archive massive amounts of data have until recently faced many challenges. Not only must data be efficiently archived to digital media, it must remain accessible to many network users, often for decades. Gone are the days when a data center could wait days for archive data to be restored after an incident resulting in loss of data; today's users expect rapid access to their archived information.
Jukeboxes are one solution, but they are often inflexible and difficult to integrate with existing applications. With the recent introduction of Archimedia software by K-PAR Systems Ltd., secondary storage technologies can now be transparently integrated with hard disk and RAID-based systems to provide a reliable archiving solution.
Archimedia software is a powerful hierarchical storage management (HSM) system, providing a flexible way of archiving data to reliable, long-term storage media, such as CD-ROM and optical media. Archimedia allows the archive vault to be intelligently controlled as a managed file store. Archimedia makes the adding of an optical- or CD-based library system as simple as adding a hard disk drive.
With over 15 years of expertise in mass storage solutions, Vimar personnel can bring you the experience and up-to-date technology required for the integration of turn-key data storage and archival systems.
