Brocade announces breakthrough File Management Solution for Microsoft Windows Environments. The new Brocade File Management Engine (FME) enables transparent file movement and simplifies file management.

Brocade announced a breakthrough product aimed at greatly simplifying file management in Microsoft Windows environments. The Brocade File Management Engine (FME) is a high-performance file virtualization appliance designed to automate the intelligent movement and placement of file data. The product's unique approach to policy-based file migration helps customers reduce storage costs, eliminate inefficient manual processes, and minimize IT downtime due to file data migrations.

In today's IT environments, more files are being created, copied, accessed, and stored than ever before. Additionally, many of these files are larger in size, driven by the increasing use of audio, video, image, and streaming media. As a result, IT organizations increasingly face the tradeoffs of more downtime and longer disruptions as they migrate and move files to add capacity, improve performance, or optimize resources. In many cases, these migrations are limited to costly weekend operations in order to avoid the risk of downtime during production hours.    

To help organizations overcome those challenges, Brocade FME embeds policy-driven automation and centralized control of file movement-allowing for non-disruptive migration and placement of data, without downtime. The product provides several new and innovative features to the market, including:

• Non-disruptive, transparent open file migration
• Policy-based file placement
• Integration with Microsoft Windows environments
• Fast, easy deployment and operation

In addition, Brocade FME complements the strategic Brocade Data Center Fabric (DCF) architecture, helping organizations make their file data infrastructure more efficient, reliable, and adaptable to change.
