A MUST even according to the latest state-of-the-art development

New procedures like disc mirroring or the usage of almost failure less devices may minimize the physical failure possibilities but the potential danger of logical mistakes (created by software faults or third party products) still exists. Not to forget, the tremendous growth of your data entails an increased demand of management for the storage manager with no additional time available.

Automated instead of manual

Routine works take precious times are often troublesome and are therefore at the bottom of the to-do-list.
A number of practice-oriented functions support you in your catalog management during regularly reoccurring tasks such as renaming of disc, removing or joining of catalogs. CIM does all this for you in a simple, fast and secure manner.
