Innovation Data Processing, a market leader in
storage management products, has announced a new management feature to
the FDR/UPSTREAM storage management tool. The newest version of FDR/UPSTREAM
3.2.1 available in March 2003 introduces Event Notification support for
specific events. FDR/UPSTREAM has now added yet another valuable tool
to its data management capability, the ability of sending E-mail and SNMP
Trap notifications. To take advantage of this new feature, a set of rules
to govern the notification must be established that enable recipients
to receive the notifications and also to denote the type of specific events.
Notification is simple and the setup is easy. First
you define the notification type (E-mail or SNMP) and the administrator's
destination in a notification target file. Then the types of possible
actions or specific events are specified, such as backup or restore. Last
of all is a rule for when the notification is to be sent. For example
the success or failure of any UPSTREAM operation, in addition to what
type of informational attachments, UPSTREAM log, UPSTREAM report file,
or any user defined file, to be sent.
Once setup is completed, the results will be immediate
and automated. The information is extremely helpful in determining why
something failed or to be assured that the action worked successfully.
The system can send information about a successful backup, such as the
backup report. Another helpful example would be a report of what files
were skipped in the backup so an administrator can easily take actions
to ensure the file will not be at that state at the next backup.
Leveraging FDR/UPSTREAM features, such the Event Notification
Feature, Cluster Support, Automated System Recovery, extensive Novell
and Windows File Systems Support and the new UPSTREAM Rescuer for Sun
and S/390 Linux file systems, it is clear to see why companies worldwide
are looking at Innovation's FDR/UPSTREAM as the tool of choice to manage
the distributed corporate data. FDR/UPSTREAM's comprehensive facilities
and extensive support increases the foundation of administrative automation
functions that enable business-critical enterprise data availability and
manageability. FDR/UPSTREAM is a complete storage management solution

including Novell, Windows, x86 Linux, S/390 Linux, and UNIX servers and
