1Introduction
StorNext is data management software that enables customers to
complete projects faster and confidently store more data at a lower cost.
Used in the world's most demanding environments, StorNext is the
standard for high performance shared workflow operations and multitier
archives. StorNext consists of two components: StorNext File System
(SNFS), a high performance data sharing software, and StorNext Storage
Manager (SNSM), the intelligent, policy-based data mover.
About StorNext File
System 1
StorNext File System streamlines processes and facilitates faster job
completion by enabling multiple business applications to work from a
single, consolidated data set. Using SNFS, applications running on
different operating systems (Windows, Linux, UNIX, HPUX, AIX, and
Mac OS X) can simultaneously access and modify files on a common,
high-speed SAN storage pool. This centralized storage solution
eliminates slow LAN-based file transfers between workstations and
dramatically reduces delays caused by single-client failures. With SNFS,
any server can access files and pick up processing requirements of a
failed system to continue operations.

the cost of long term data retention, without sacrificing accessibility.
SNSM sits on top of SNFS and utilizes intelligent data movers to
transparently locate data on multiple tiers of storage. This enables
customers to store more files at a lower cost, without having to
