Automated Data Management. Efforts to 
keep available storage capacity at an 
acceptable level are a persistent battle 
requiring many hours of an 
administrator’s time. With BrightStor 
HSM, those hours can be nearly 
eliminated.  

•  Policy Driven. By setting watermarks, 

file aging and other policies, the 
administrator fully controls the data 
migration activity. BrightStor HSM uses 
those watermarks and policies to 
transparently migrate the seldom-to-
never accessed files to a secondary 
storage tier. 

•  Reduce Capacity Requirements.  

The resulting space created can then 
be utilized by the "working set" of files.   

•  Transparent Migration. When users 

access files that were previously 
migrated, BrightStor HSM quickly and 
transparently retrieves files from the 
secondary storage tier and restores 
them to their original location. 

•  Set Global Policy. From the Rules / 

Policies tab, the administrator can set 
schedules for migration and deletion, 
scanning intervals, watermarks, 
notifications and filters for files that 
should not be migrated. These policies 
apply for the entire server 

•  Monitoring. Under the Monitor tab, 

administrators can view Activity / 
Warning, Errors, Migrations, 
DeMigrations and Deletes logs. A 
graphical view of capacity utilization by 
volume over time is also shown 

Simple Administration. The BrightStor 
HSM is managed through an easy to use 
Administrator GUI which can be installed 
locally on each server or remotely, 
managing all servers in the environment. 
A tabbed layout eases navigation 
between functions and default values 
provide immediate out-of-box usability. 

Storage Virtualization. BrightStor HSM 
turns any supported server volume into 
an infinite storage resource for storing 
your crucial data. Migration is managed 
automatically based on organizationally 
defined rules and policies. All directories 
remain on the primary server volumes, so 
users can find their files exactly where 
they placed them. 

•  Migration / Deletion Rules. The 

Sources tab allows the administrator to 
set rules for what files should be 
migrated based on name or file type, 
location and age since modification or 
last access. Directories and 
subdirectories can be included or 
excluded as appropriate and migration 
targets specified. Each server can 
have an unlimited number of policies. 

Register Servers. BrightStor HSM 
servers are registered by entering their IP 
address, browsing the network or servers 
with BrightStor HSM installed can be 
discovered automatically. 

•  Target Devices. Each migration policy 

contains the target for the migrated 

files. Multiple policies and multiple 

servers can share a single target.
