CommandSoft Updates FibreJet to V.5

CommandSoft, Inc. revamped the FibreJet 5 software, focusing on improving user experience and productivity.

FibreJet 5 is a SAN management software and OS integration and comes with a 2014 user interface. With SAN health-check automation keeping a real time record of user scheduled file systems checks, it can email you when a problem is discovered keeping you ahead of the curve in preserving assets and production time.

It makes multiple-writer capability reality by the available integration of XSAN as a functioning asset available within the Mac OS X. This feature requires a dedicated metadata server running OSX server as is necessary to file level management configurations.

New is the option to run without a SAN database, this feature does have the limitation of giving up the ability to group projects / users and permissions. It is intended for SAN’s that do not mind each workstation accessing all reachable SAN volumes.

Support for virtually unlimited systems, across multiple OSs all with concurrent read and write access to shared volumes allows FibreJet to support the complex high-bandwidth environments.

Multiple terabytes of storage and very often many users all needing to work together, it can become overwhelming. Organization is key to project management, and this provides the tools necessary for the job. The UI can be an asset for project management; keeping the job simple. Since it uses standard disk utilities and file systems, working on the latest OSs all using native operating file formats there is nothing to learn for the administrator setting up the storage. The outcome is good planning facilitated by FibreJet.

This release makes possible general speed-up in operational performance; faster discovery launching, and multiple GUI improvements. FibreJet 5 provides support for the latest releases of OS’s, latest drivers and adapters for transport such as iSCSI, 10GbE and 1GbE, Thunderbolt, 16Gb FC, etc.)

It is possible to enter volume maintenance mode on a single-volume while the rest of the storage is still being engaged. As a selectable maintenance function you can also select an option to pre-check file system each time they are mounted. This will alert users if they need to perform volume maintenance (repair a volume).

This release provides integration of the system preferences into the application, a special ‘startup-mode’ to enter ‘admin’ tool functions and by-pass normal startup. Dynamic drive letter management for Windows 7/8 OS and improvements to the Windows GUI.
