 products background
  Why do you need Sanbolic's products in
  a SAN?

products
Sanbolic’s products have been designed expressly for storage environments using SAN storage and enable customers to easily manage networked storage as a single pool of data that can be accessed by multiple servers concurrently, greatly reducing complexity and giving users much more flexibility in how they can access their data. The design point for these products was a large telecom network operation center application running multiple operating systems. The product architecture has been designed to support multiple operating systems and storage hardware platforms in a very large environment demanding very high reliability. Even with their extensive capabilities, our products are exceptionally easy to install and use.

Melio FS
Melio FS is an object-based symmetrical clustered file system designed for enterprise and high performance storage environments. Melio FS includes journaling for fast recovery, advanced locking mechanisms for file sharing, and innovative design for fast access to files. The current version supports Windows 2000, XP, and 2003, and is compatible with block storage transport including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and SCSI. Windows technologies such as Active Directory, ACL security, DFS, Network Load Balancing, and MPIO are transparently supported by Melio within a shared storage environment.

LaScala Volume Manager Software
LaScala is a clustered volume manager which simplifies management and improves flexibility and reliability of shared storage environments. It enables management of very large disk sets across heterogeneous storage arrays from multiple servers, and supports centralized and remote management, disk groups, and dynamic online volume creation and growth. It is fully compatible with native OS file systems. The current version supports Windows 2000, XP, and 2003, and is compatible with block storage transport including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and SCSI. Windows technologies such as Active Directory, ACL security, DFS, Network Load Balancing, and MPIO are transparently supported by LaScala within a shared storage environment.

LaScala Disto
LaScala Disto is an add-on component to LaScala Volume Manager that enables customers to remotely manage the volume structure for their entire SAN. It also provides volume and mount point scalability on top of existing LUNs, and support for Windows Volume Management (LDM) volumes.

SILM
SILM is a standalone software product that  automatically moves or copies files or volumes based on customer defined policies. As an example, an administrator could establish policies to copy any files created or modified in the past 4 hours to a backup volume, and to move any files not accessed in 30 days to secondary storage.  SILM has universal connectivity support, allowing users to deploy it in mixed storage environments utilizing DAS, NAS, and SAN storage. SILM supports both Microsoft and Sanbolic file systems.
