NETWORKS
KOM NETWORKS develops best-of-breed software products to
protect, store and manage data, of all types and KPM amounts,
including mission-critical data. The software solutions are
designed to operate natively on numerous systems and platforms.
It's firstblock-level virtualization product was introduced
in 1983.
KOMWORX™ is
a powerful and versatile product that brings file level
virtualization to data storage administration. This unique
tool enables data administrators to pool heterogeneous
hard disk storage devices (including RAID, JBODs, Flash
and Solid-state) into a single storage entity which can
be centrally managed. The beauty of this approach is that
you always know where your data is and can readily access
it. With KOMWORX™, any number of flexible policies
can be set to seamlessly migrate files between storage
devices. KOMWORX™ not only maximizes the efficiency
of your data storage but also your return on investment
for new and existing technologies. KOMWORX™ operates
in both Windows NT and Windows 2000 environments.
OPTIWORX™ provides
file level storage virtualization for optical storage devices
including Magneto-Optical, Ablative WORM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM
and CD-ROM. OPTIWORX™'s features and functionality
are consistent with those found in KOMWORX™. This
means that you can pool optical storage devices into a
common storage entity known as a Virtual Volume. As well,
file migration policies can be implemented to seamlessly
move files between storage devices. OPTIWORX™ operates
in both Windows NT and Windows 2000 environments.
Nearline
and Archival Storage
OPTISTORM™ is a proven and extremely cost effective
optical storage software tool which readily integrates into
your current storage environment and ensures that your data

designed for both Windows NT and Windows 2000 environments.
OPTISERVER® for
UNIX operates in HP-UX, Sun Solaris and Tru64 UNIX environments.
This software allows administrators to utilize the "already
familiar" system commands and security features of
the UNIX operating system. Like OPTISTORM™, OPTISERVER® is
technology, vendor and device neutral and ensures that
your data is always accessible, secure and fully portable.
OPTISERVER® for
OpenVMS is designed for all versions of Alpha and VAX OpenVMS
environments. Like its OPTISERVER® for UNIX counterpart,
OPTISERVER® for OpenVMS is technology, device and vendor
neutral, and features native file system commands and security.
Data
Protection
SHIELDWORX™ provides complete data protection for hard
disk drives of all sizes. With this low cost solution you
never have to worry about files being accidentally deleted
or overwritten. Unlike anti-virus and security software on

and computer viruses, SHIELDWORX™ totally secures your
files. Anyone who owns a PC will find this product invaluable.
Plasmon's
Diamond™ storage management software transforms Plasmon
MO/DVD/CD Libraries into cost-effective virtual hard drives,
accessible via a drive-letter and network share. Archive
to rewritable media or direct write to write once media
for legal admissibility.
Diamond's
web-based GUI makes system administration easy. Diamond
auto-detects and configures itself for Plasmon Libraries,
providing easy local or remote administration via its powerful
web-based GUI.
Utilize
Diamond's rich API to transparently integrate optical storage
directly into your application. Alternatively, integrate
some or all components of Diamond's web GUI via HTML frames
into your existing user interface.
Plasmon
simplifies the purchase, configuration and technical support
of virtual storage by integrating Diamond software with
Plasmon Libraries-creating scalable, single-vendor, storage
solutions.
