SAN (Storage Area Network)
A SAN is a dedicated, high-performance network whose primary purpose is the transfer of data
along FC or high-speed Ethernet connections between servers, interconnect devices,
and storage peripherals.
SNMS (StorNext Management Suite)
A scalable, high performance, data management solution that ensures the long-term safety and
recoverability of data in SAN environments, while optimizing the use of storage resources. The
result is high speed data sharing, improved productivity, and reduced network bottlenecks. It
consists of two components, the StorNext Storage Manager (StorNext SM) and the StorNext File
System (StorNext FS).
StorNext FS (StorNext File System)
One of the two components comprising the StorNext Management Suite. StorNext FS uses the
functionality of a product, formerly known as CentraVision (DSM), to primarily provide Fibre
Channel (FC) connections (but can also support other types of connections) in a serverless
environment that enable heterogeneous clients to access data and share files. Although StorNext
FS is the core file system technology used in SNMS, ADIC supports StorNext FS as a standalone
product.
StorNext SM (StorNext Storage Manager)
One of two main components comprising the StorNext Management Suite. StorNext SM com-
bines the functionality of two products known as FileServ (TSM) and VolServ (MSM) to provide
high-performance file migration and management services, and to manage automated and
manual media libraries, including library volumes.
Stripe group configuration
A set of similar storage devices that can be maintained either as a group or as a characteristic of
performance. All disks in a stripe group must have the same number and size of sectors.
U
Unmanaged file system
A file system that never moves any data to the tape storage library.
