S

SAN (Storage Area Network)

A SAN is a dedicated, high-performance network whose primary purpose is the transfer of data along FC or high-speed Ethernet connections between servers, interconnect devices,

and storage peripherals.

SNMS (StorNext Management Suite)

A scalable, high performance, data management solution that ensures the long-term safety and recoverability of data in SAN environments, while optimizing the use of storage resources. The result is high speed data sharing, improved productivity, and reduced network bottlenecks. It consists of two components, the StorNext Storage Manager (StorNext SM) and the StorNext File System (StorNext FS).

StorNext FS (StorNext File System)

One of the two components comprising the StorNext Management Suite. StorNext FS uses the functionality of a product, formerly known as CentraVision (DSM), to primarily provide Fibre Channel (FC) connections (but can also support other types of connections) in a serverless environment that enable heterogeneous clients to access data and share files. Although StorNext FS is the core file system technology used in SNMS, ADIC supports StorNext FS as a standalone product.

StorNext SM (StorNext Storage Manager)

One of two main components comprising the StorNext Management Suite. StorNext SM com- bines the functionality of two products known as FileServ (TSM) and VolServ (MSM) to provide high-performance file migration and management services, and to manage automated and manual media libraries, including library volumes.

Stripe group configuration

A set of similar storage devices that can be maintained either as a group or as a characteristic of performance. All disks in a stripe group must have the same number and size of sectors.

U

Unmanaged file system

A file system that never moves any data to the tape storage library.
