WindFire Introduces Xtorm Hierarchical Storage Manager

October 31, 2001 - San Diego, CA—WindFire Technology today announced the availability of Xtorm Hierarchical Storage Manager™ (Xtorm HSM), the fourth available product in the company's strategy to deliver a comprehensive enterprise information management (EIM) suite of applications. As a stand-alone application or in consort with the Xtorm Data Server™, Xtorm Object Manager™, and Xtorm High Performance Import™, Xtorm HSM is a key component of efficient information management.

"Hierarchical storage management is an increasingly critical issue," remarked WindFire President Maurice Correa, "especially when information assets are considered a strategic competitive resource and the most important asset in an organization. The ability to quickly access data across a geographically dispersed network is fundamental to business efficacy. Our product makes it easy, secure, and highly scalable."

Xtorm HSM manages multiple disparate storage entities as a virtual storage environment. Delivering fast and reliable access to mission-critical data, Xtorm HSM is completely transparent to storage-intensive applications. It automatically stores data on the most appropriate media to meet storage, access and retention requirements, without administrator or operator intervention. With built-in intelligent mirroring, redundancy and data caching, Xtorm HSM provides 24/7 information availability—critical for an enterprise disaster recovery strategy.

WindFire's entire EIM suite is developed with industry standards such as J2EE, XML, Unicode, and web services.

XHSM is scheduled to ship in December, 2002.
