Portlock Storage Manager is designed to minimize the management, setup, installation, and reconfiguration time for Linux, NetWare and Windows systems. Copy, create, clone, image, restore, and resize DOS, NetWare and NSS partitions and volumes. Image and restore Windows FAT32 and NTFS partitions; Linux Ext2 / Ext3 / ReiserFS partitions. Disaster recovery of failed servers is very fast and dramatically simplified - no booting OS required.

Portlock Storage Manager can migrate a server using TCP/IP from the old server to the new server or create an image file on disk or SCSI tape. Nothing needs to be installed on the new server to begin a full-system migration.

Portlock Storage Manager for NetWare offers customers the ultimate storage management solution. New in Portlock Storage Manager is support for NetWare 6.5 Service Pack 6, software mirroring, support for Virtual Server and VMware and support for EMC and NetWare multipathing.

Server-to-Server Migration Features of Portlock Storage Manager:

Portlock Storage Manager's server backup and restore features support images stored on disk files, CD/DVD, TCP/IP communication links, FTP and Web servers, and SCSI tape drives. Our third generation imaging technology supports streaming the very fastest SCSI tape drives, utilizing high-performance communications over TCP/IP for server-to-server migration.

Portlock Storage Manager can migrate a server using TCP/IP from the old server to the new server or create an image file on disk or SCSI tape. Nothing needs to be installed on the new server to begin a full-system migration. Boot Portlock Storage Manager from DOS and start the restore.

Using accurate system images, this bare-metal migration results in a very high-speed migration, duplicating all attributes to the new server, while minimizing hardware hassles. Servers can even be cloned across continents using TCP/IP.
