File System Factory™                                                         

File System Factory 1.2.1

January 2005 - Novell has announced the release of File System Factory™ version 1.2.1.

Introduction

File System Factory™ is an innovative file-system management tool that enhances Novell® NetWare® and Novell eDirectory™. File System Factory™ makes it easy to keep up with a busy, large-scale organization. As events occur in eDirectory, they trigger File System Factory to automatically create, manage and delete disk storage on NetWare.

This allows any existing user provisioning application, such as any LDAP application or DirXML driver, to drive load balanced file system creation, management and cleanup without modification. And its Web-based policy management feature provides maximum flexibility: administrators can modify policies to create and delete file systems, apply quotas, set trustee assignments and do much more, all from the convenience of the nearest Web browser.

Ideal for data migration, File System Factory™ ensures that if users move in the directory, their data automatically follows them. It also reduces storage costs by automating file-system cleanup. As users leave the network, File System Factory™ can either delete their stored data immediately or defer deletion for a specified time period. It supports most popular namespaces-including Long, Macintosh and UNIX namespaces-and also ensures load balancing across traditional NetWare volumes and volumes based on Novell Storage Services and Novell Cluster Services..
