SmartStor Jukeman
from Kintronics

SmartStor Jukeman is a complete read/write archival storage solution for multiple UNIX platforms, including Solaris, HP-UX, IBM-AIX, and Linux. SmartStor Jukeman is completely media independent, which means that users are free to configure any combination of MO, WORM, CD, or DVD device on a single server, and view the entire configuration as one large network storage repository. SmartStor Jukeman is easy to install and use, and provides a common interface to document imaging, COLD, prepress, legal, e-mail archive, audio, video-on-demand, banking, health care, web-based storage, and other data-intensive applications.

SmartStor provides comprehensive support for optical drives, libraries, and jukeboxes.  Please check the price list or call your Smart Storage sales manager for specific device questions.  Also check the Smart Storage web site at www.smartstorage.com for a complete list of devices.

The content information from all of the discs in a file system is bound and presented as the SmartStor file system to the network.  This can be presented to the network as a mount point.  When this location is expanded, a view of the SmartStor file system is presented. 

SmartStor Jukeman presents the data to the network in a Volume Management mode as described below:

Volume Management
SmartStor's sophisticated file system allows a collection of media to be presented on a volume-by-volume basis, with each piece of media appearing as a subdirectory off the SmartStor mount point. For example, a 100-slot storage device is viewed as 100 separate subdirectories. Each subdirectory reflects the media's volume title or alias. As well, administrators can organize titles into groups for easy management.

  • Sun Solaris (Sparc) v2.6, 2.7 & 2.8
  • HP-UX v10.2 & 11.0

The Smart Storage Solution for UNIX
SmartCDTM offers you a comprehensive suite of UNIX products for recording and accessing data in CD Recordable jukeboxes. For recording/access applications, SmartCD runs directly on a UNIX workstation, providing recording and access capabilities to any client attached to the network. SmartCD is a non-dedicated, high-performance NFS server. All versions of SmartCD are ideal for archival storage because they make data accessible through a single mount point. All SmartCD versions also include data caching, which provides outstanding performance for storage applications.
Native Solution
Because SmartCD attaches directly to the UNIX server, any client attached to the network can access the SmartCD storage structure. There’s no need for clients to load proprietary software. SmartCD servers simply present an aggregated directory structure of all CDs as a single UNIX volume. With SmartCD, there are no cryptic commands to learn -- administrators can employ all the features of the native operating system administration, security, and access control.
Scalable Storage
Whether you need to record or access a few CDs or hundreds, SmartCD’s caching, recording, and file-based access ensure the same performance for all users. Support for all CD Recordable jukeboxes, CD towers, and mini changers means the storage structure can grow as your business grows. And unlike WORM or MO, CD technology is completely standards based, allowing for future hardware and operating system diversity.
APIs for Integration
SmartCD offers an API toolkit to enable independent software vendors and systems integrators to embed CD Recordable jukeboxes into their storage hierarchy. Toolkits provide a comprehensive interface to all the administrative, recording, and access functionality of SmartCD, making it ideal for anyone who wants to incorporate a turnkey CD storage solution.
