Mobile App for Disc Archive Libraries and Appliances

DISC Archiving Systems B.V. (DISC), in professional data archiving, announced a mobile app for the DISC ArXtor Series of Archive Storage Libraries and Appliances.

 
With 10 billion mobile devices forecasted by 2020, the proliferation of mobile technology is changing the way people think, work, act, and interact.

The mobile app is designed to address this changing business environment by making it easier for system administrators, service engineers etc. to access the DISC ArXtor Libraries/Appliances. It enables the user to mute alarms and obtain real-time system diagnostics using an iPad, iPhone or Android mobile device.

The app has an easy-to-use interface and is designed for:

• Status display  
• Remote management (mute alarms, etc.)
• Retrieve information (logfiles, JB summary reports)

"This is another step to simplify the management of long-term storage with the most modern solution available today," states Kees Machielsen, CEO of DISC. "The new DISC ArXtor Series already incorporate the latest iSCSI connectivity, hybrid archive storage technologies and they were the first Libraries/Appliances with an intelligent front-panel touch display. With the mobile app, system administrators are able to access the DISC ArXtor Libraries/Appliances remotely via any mobile device – anytime, anywhere."
 
The DISC ArXtor Series was exhibited week at the CeBIT in Hannover, Germany.

The mobile app will be available for all DISC ArXtor Series which will be shipped from March 2013 and onwards.
