QStar Technologies

Data Director uses QStar HSM technology to create a more robust and secure archive. Using synchronous mirroring technology, Data Director, ensures that data archived on two optical or tape libraries are continuously mirrored within a site or across the globe.

To meet a range of disaster prevention needs and budgets, Data Director is available with multiple real-time mirroring options. These include media mirroring within a single library, device mirroring within a single site, and site mirroring across multiple geographic locations. Failover capabilities ensure that if the primary archive cannot be accessed, requests are automatically directed to the secondary archive.

Data Director’s disaster prevention capabilities facilitate a resilient archive strategy by providing very cost effective and dependable business continuity for the QStar archives platform.

STJ / SDJ – In combination with Data Director, STJ / SDJ (Simulated Tape Jukebox) creates simulated tape or optical media on RAID.  Using Data Director to mirror between the real and simulated media a blended archive solution is created; with one mirror on disk and one on tape or optical.
