StorHouse/Control Center is FileTek's Windows®-based management tool for StorHouse® system and database administration. Its intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) simplifies managing StorHouse servers and databases by eliminating the learning curve and syntax errors typically associated with issuing command line instructions. As Figure 1 illustrates, the software provides a clear, visual representation of the relationships between StorHouse resources, including storage devices, volume sets, file sets, accounts, files, and database objects.

Architecture

StorHouse/Control Center has a three-tier, client-server architecture that supports flexible configurations to satisfy individual site requirements. It also provides fault tolerance through redundant servers and communications paths. The architecture consists of one or more StorHouse/Control Center servers communicating with StorHouse/Control Center modules over a TCP/IP network. StorHouse/Control Center servers and modules run on Windows NT, Windows 2000, or XP Pro platforms.

"Plug-in" Modules

StorHouse/Admin, StorHouse/Performance Monitor, and CC/Admin are StorHouse/ Control Center "plug-in" modules that perform various administration functions. These modules open and execute within the StorHouse/Control Center framework, a graphical environment that provides common services to all modules. You can install one or more modules on any client computer, and even represent and launch non-FileTek applications (for example, word processing programs) from the StorHouse/Control Center selection bar.
