Halcyon Announces Spooled File Manager 9.0 for IBM i

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) March 01, 2012

Systems management software provider, Halcyon Software Inc., today announced a major release of one of its key products – Spooled File Manager v9.0 for the IBM i platform.

Spooled File Manager v9.0 is a comprehensive spooled file distribution and archiving tool which offers real-time spooled file monitoring, filtering and fast retrieval of archived spooled files. It performs actions on spooled files without the need for program changes such as automatically emailing the summary page of a report or converting them into PDFs or HTML web pages.

Major enhancements

The capability of archiving files has been substantially enhanced so that archived spooled files can be retrieved in sub seconds. There are no limits to the number of spooled files that can be stored within an archived file.

The new version now has the capability of defining Subset Templates, for example by department, type, user or any combination, so that spooled files or archived spooled files can be viewed according to defined categories.

New authorization features within the software give security administrators the ability to define by default or individually permit which subset templates members of staff can use, thereby restricting the spooled files they can view at the user level.

Other changes have been made to the software to significantly improve performance by using smart caching techniques.

A further enhancement in the new version enables system administrators to use report types to identify spooled files and define the archive and retention periods.

Tom Skillman, Data Processing Manager of City of St. Louis Water Division said, “Spooled File Manager archives and compresses hundreds of thousands of spooled reports to immediately save me disk space, but gives me very flexible and powerful search tools to enable easy retrieval later.”

John Dominic, VP of Sales at Halcyon Software, said, Automated report distribution and archiving are extremely critical to our clients, some of whom are generating spooled files over one million pages long. We worked with clients to ensure that the new version has all the scalability they need and provides them with efficient authorization, reporting and retrieval methods.

Pricing and availability

Spooled File Manager v9.0 is available immediately, either as a single utility or as part of Halcyons Level 3 or Level 4 monitoring software suites. Existing customers can upgrade to Spooled File Manager v9.0 free of charge.

Product pricing is tiered and based on IBM processor groups. In addition, Halcyon have published a fair pricing policy so that if customers increase the Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) rating of their IBM hardware they will not incur software upgrade fees giving long term reassurance on costs.

Online Tech Launches Secure, Online Data Storage

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) June 16, 2009

Online Tech, Michigan’s largest managed data center operator, has launched OTVault, a new online data storage product designed for secure, high volume online backup and archiving for businesses.

Online Tech, long preaching to the market that data is as valuable as money for most businesses, now offers another way for businesses to protect their valuable data. OTVault is an easy, cost effective solution for backing up servers or archiving data from any location into a secure, SAS 70 certified data center.

Online Tech leveraged the industry trends of declining Internet and storage costs, along with its high availability SAS70 certified data center, to introduce a new price point in the market for high volume, multi-terabyte online data storage. Designed as an easy first step for disaster recovery, businesses can map the online storage to their in house servers and use their current backup software to write backups and send critical data at Online Tech’s SAS70 certified data centers.

OTVault is not targeted at consumers, laptops, or desktop backups. The product is designed specifically for server backups requiring 100 Gigabytes to 10 Terabytes of online storage. Unlike Mozy, or other low end solutions that limit upload speeds to limit the amount of backup data which can be transferred each day, OTVault starts with over 50 Gigabytes of data transfer per day and can be upgraded to higher speeds.

Memsic, Inc. of Andover Massachusetts – a producer of sensor technologies – found that OTVault provides them with the online data storage they needed for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. “With OTVault, our data is securely sent to SAS 70 certified data centers with redundant fail-safe systems. We found OTVault to be a cost effective option for our disaster recovery ” said Cheryl Merino, a Manager at Memsic.

OTVault starts at $ 199 for 100 GB and $ 99 for each additional 100 GB. This price point makes it a cost effective alternative to traditional tape backup which has high failure rates, physical security risks, and slow data recovery times. OTVault overcomes these problems and eliminates the costs of tapes, hardware maintenance, offsite tape delivery and storage, and the personnel costs to manage the tape rotations.

With the launch, Online Tech is offering an OTVault trial free for 15 days. To learn more about this offer visit onlinetech.com/online_data_storage.

About Online Tech:

Online Tech is Michigan’s premier Managed Data Center Operator. Online Tech helps companies manage their growing demand for data and computing capacity through its SAS-70 secure and reliable multi-tenant data centers. With a full range of colocation, dedicated server hosting and managed service options, industry leaders trust Online Tech to insure their servers are always on, always online, and always safe.
