Easy-To-Use Interface from Attune Systems Helps Application Developers Benefit from Non-Disruptive File Virtualization

Attune Systems, Inc., a provider of enterprise-class file virtualization solutions, today announced the Maestro Open Interface Format™, which offers software developers and partners the opportunity to benefit from Attune’s leading-edge file virtualization capabilities. By providing a simple text list of the file names to be migrated, developers and partners can now take advantage of the tiering and migrating features of the Attune Maestro File Manager™, which moves the data non-disruptively without any agents and without any tag files.

“This new Attune announcement empowers third-party applications to non-disruptively tier and migrate user data, resulting in reduced backup windows, storage costs, and increased availability. It is all about having the right file in the right location at the right time,” said Alan Kessler, Attune’s president and CEO. “It is simple to integrate, even with in-house developed custom applications, and does not require writing to an API. All the developer has to do is to provide the list of files to be moved, and, once we know the location of the target files within the global name space, Maestro automatically and non-disruptively migrates files during live file system operation.”

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
