Global Name Spaces
Many organizations have hesitated to insert a global namespace because the conversion is often a laborious, manual process. Most global namespaces, including Microsoft DFS, require UNC names to be changed upon implementation, one at a time.
The AutoVirt global namespace model is different. AutoVirt provides automated namespace creation and support of pre-existing UNC names. During installation, AutoVirt automatically inventories the file server environment to create a complete map. Administrators use this map to designate which file servers will receive client referrals through the global namespace. When a file server is selected for AutoVirt management, the map of its contents – from root to leaf-level folders – is automatically stored in the namespace.
The automated file server inventory makes it possible for AutoVirt to support indefinitely the pre-existing UNC names – even after the file servers they once referenced have crumbled to dust. Contact NavigateStorage to learn more about this great solution.

Migrate Your Windows Data With AutoMove
Migrate Your Windows Data With AutoMove:
Complete your project faster, with minimal downtime
Support pre-migration UNC names in shortcuts and embedded links
If you are planning a migration, instead of dedicating a weekend or impacting think about Autovirt. AutoVirt facilitates share-by-share migration, which means that there is no need to take an entire device offline during migration. AutoVirt breaks each migration job into share-sized increments. To preserve data integrity, files are held read-only while their parent shares are being migrated. As soon as a share is migrated, full read/write access is restored. The AutoVirt global namespace is updated with the new share location, and clients are automatically redirected to their share. Share-by-share migration drastically reduces downtime, and automatic client referrals eliminate post-project shortcut remapping."
To limit the time that large shares are held read-only, AutoVirt offers a pre-migration synchronization period. The sync period can be scheduled to recur as many times as you like. During the first sync period, AutoVirt copies all un-open files it finds, skipping the rest. Each recurring sync will copy any new files it finds un-open, and will synchronize changes at the source with files that have already been copied to the destination. The synchronization period will be reduced over time, until AutoVirt is syncing only a small number of changes between source and destination.
When you schedule the final migration, the share will be held read-only as final changes are synced from source to destination. When the sync is complete, clients are automatically redirected to the new share location read/write access is restored.

Next-Generation Email Archiving
NavigateStorage has specialized in Email Archiving since 2001. In 2008, NavigateStorage added Mimosa Systems to it's solution excellence offerings.
The fast-growing volume of email presents major challenges for all organizations. According to Ferris Research, the average information worker sends over 600 emails in a given week. Many of these emails are either business records or contain valuable corporate knowledge and need to be retained accordingly. Keeping a large volume of email leads to higher storage costs and headaches for IT staff in the form of longer back-up windows. In fact, Osterman Research states, message stores have grown 30% from winter 2007 to winter 2008.
As message stores grow, organizations face challenges with:
* Managing Storage Costs – getting content off expensive production systems
* Timely Recovery Times – reducing recovery point objectives and ever-expanding back-up windows
* Ending Firefights – lowering cost of reactive collection and review
* Mitigating Content-related Risks – ensuring proper usage of content within the organization
If you are considering Email, File or SharePoint archiving. Then contact NavigateStorage from our website, or call 1-978-318-9000 or write.

Mimosa Systems from NavigateStorage
Mimosa Systems NavigateStorage: "Next-Generation Approach to Email Archiving
Existing archiving solutions place heavy burdens on Exchange servers, relying on data capture methods like MAPI crawls and journaling – both of which can increase input/output per second (IOPS) on the Exchange server by up to 50%.
Mimosa NearPoint for Microsoft Exchange incorporates an innovative data capture method called Continuous Application Shadowing™. Continuous Application Shadowing instantly captures Exchange log files once they are committed to disk and stores them “off-host” on NearPoint. It is an application-intelligent process, which also blocks corruption from the back-up copy. All email content extracted from the log files is indexed and stored with single-instance storage. Furthermore, Continuous Application Shadowing captures complete mailbox information including calendar items, tasks, contacts, and item histories.
Email has proven to be a company's vital asset. If not to be legally required (compliant) then for sure a good company practice.
NavigateStorage has specialised in Email, file and Sharepoint archiving since 2001 with Educom (now Zantaz) and since then Mimosa, Red Condor and Global Relay. Let's discuss your interests i.e. On-Site or Hosted and find the write fit to meet your needs. Request "more info" on or website or write or call 1-978-318-9000.

Nexsan storage from NavigateStorage
NavigateStorage has specialized in Storage since 1999 and Archiving since 2001. If your data is critical, such as Email for compliance then you should know about Assureon from Nexsan.
Assureon from Nexsan gives organizations the ability to keep only one copy of each file stored, regardless of how many users write that file to storage.
Assureon uses single instance store technology, a function of Content Addressed Storage, to identify duplicate files and store only a single copy of a file. This deduplication process is performed automatically with Assureon and is transparent to the user.
By intelligently transferring and storing a single instance of any archived file, Assureon dramatically reduces storage consumption, network bandwidth and overall cost.

Accelerate NAS environments with Tiered Appliance
FXT Series hardware platforms provide the high-performance storage media that enables Avere tiered NAS appliances to accelerate the performance and reduce the cost of NAS environments. FXT Series hardware platforms are highly reliable and offered in multiple configuration options.
Executive Summary
The storage industry is at an inflection point. High-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) are threatening the dominance of hard disk drives (HDDs), particularly expensive 15k-RPM Fibre Channel (FC) drives, in storage systems. High-capacity, inexpensive serial ATA (SATA) drives have replaced tape as the archive medium of choice. Incumbent storage vendors are struggling to include new storage media in their products, but each candidate replacement medium has particular strengths and weaknesses that existing storage operating systems do not accommodate.
Storage vendors have focused on capacity over performance even as application servers and clients require greater and greater throughput. To keep pace with the demands of your computing infrastructure, you must constantly upgrade to the latest, most expensive generation of NAS servers.
The Avere Systems FXT Series enables you to accelerate the performance of your current NAS infrastructure and lower the costs of NAS acquisition, operation, and expansion. The Avere solution also allows you to use less expensive, lower-performance NAS servers and lower-cost, high-density media such as SATA HDDs to expand your NAS infrastructure, increasing performance and extending the useful lifespan of legacy NAS systems, all while consuming less power, cooling, and rack space than traditional NAS solutions.
