JMR INTRODUCES DataMover MANAGEMENT TOOL FOR STORAGE SYSTEMS

JMR Electronics announced its new Fortra DataMover, a management tool featuring an intuitive GUI that unifies SAN and NAS while providing rich functionality that includes thin provisioning, instantaneous snapshots of blocks and files, block and file replication, advanced SNMP notification and scheduling to the minute. Coupled with JMR's successful Fortra storage line, the DataMover brings performance, management and scalability at an affordable price to IT professionals.

The new DataMover can be deployed as either primary or secondary storage for powerful data protection and nearly instant recovery from Exchange, SQL Server and other data disasters. Administrators also recover from file disasters such as accidental file deletion and virus corruption within seconds or minutes instead of hours or days.

"DataMover is our direct response to requests from partners and customers for an enterprise class interface that provides superior navigation and sophisticated features like Snapshot and Replication only found in a product like DataMover," stated Tom Fabrizio, vice president of sales at JMR Electronics.

"JMR Electronics has given our enterprise customers the required streamlined access to their unified file and block data stores. DataMover's interface is a simplistic, graphical tool providing robust and logical access to both NAS and SAN data. DataMover's unique thin provisioning features, smart disk technology and replication are all managed from a easy integrated interface," said Tom Fabrizio, and provides our VAR Channel with the right tools for both the ILM and disaster recovery requirements for their customers.
