HP StorageWorks File Migration Agent Software (HP FMA) offers a technologically innovative approach to data movement. As a new entry to the HP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) family of products, HP FMA is an automated solution designed to help simplify Windows-based file, web, and application server administration in small business to enterprise environments. This is accomplished through policy-based file migration and archive to popular storage targets, including HP StorageWorks Reference Information Storage System (RISS), HP StorageWorks File System Extender, and NAS, via Common Internet File System (CIFS). HP FMA assists enterprises in aligning their business policy requirements with data retention, and, in effect, managing more data per administrator, by maintaining active files on high-performance primary storage while archiving inactive files to cost-effective secondary storage. Files may be archived based on common parameters, such as minimum file modification time.

• Simplicity without compromise: HP StorageWorks File Migration Agent Software reduces costs of storage and storage management by automatically migrating static data to less expensive tiers of storage based on business policies and quality of service requirements


• Storage consolidation: Enables consolidation of file servers, web servers, and application servers once infrequently used data is migrated to secondary storage.
