Hewlett-Packard Co is to market Denver, Colorado-based Advanced Archival Products Inc’s Amass file system software with its optical disk subsystems – that means that all of Hewlett-Packard’s optical library products, which offer from 20Gb to 187Gb storage capacity using 1.3Gb disks can now be supported on HP 700 workstations running HP-UX 9.01 and on Sun workstations running Solaris. Amass, a $6,000 piece of code, also runs on Silicon Graphics Unc workstations with Irix 5.2 or higher, and supports a range of optical jukeboxes and makes them appear to the processor as a single internal disk, so that they can used by applications, the firm says. Advanced Archival has integrated Amass with a data manager for transparent file migration and retrieval over client-server set-ups and a Motif-based library management and administration in Amass-SMS, which is up on Sun Microsystems Inc, Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics, IBM Corp and Auspex Systems Inc systems and servers at from $6,500.
