Topsfield, Massachusetts-based Software Partners/32 Inc has unveiled its new StorageCenter integrated storage management software for Unix. StorageCenter is intended to help systems managers look after the storage requirements of distributed heterogeneous environments. The product comprises four modules: Backup and Restore – available now at $5,600 for 10 client machines; Media Manager – shipping in December; Hierarchical Storage Manager and Remote Administrator, both of which are set for release in first quarter 1994. They run on Sun Microsystems Inc, IBM Corp, Digital Equipment Corp and Hewlett-Packard Co workstations. Support for DEC’s Alpha, Silicon Graphics Inc and Intergraph Corp boxes will follow in future. Customers can choose between an X Window or Motif graphical user interface, and are provided with a C-based application programming interface, so that users can integrate StorageCenter with existing database and system management applications.
