Startup Attune Systems will unveil today Maestro, a new appliance aimed at consolidating the management of disparate file serving solutions.
The 2U, resilient rack-mountable Maestro appliance hosts up to 12 Ultra-SCSI drives and 10 1GbE switching ports for host servers and clients connectivity.
Maestro includes File Manager, an application that facilitates discovery, analysis, policy-based administration and optimization of customers' data across multiple tiers, Attune explains.
Attune indicates that the numerous components of File Manager can be developed gradually, in stages ranging from initial discovery with functionality such as search and reporting, to extended mode with features including global namespace, file striping and mirroring, file virtualization and storage tiers.
Maestro is available immediately. Attune suggests a retail price of $45,000.
