StorHouse/RM, FileTek's relational database management system (RDBMS) software component, works in conjunction with StorHouse/SM to administer the storage, access, and movement of relational data. Together, these integrated storage management and RDBMS technologies out-perform conventional data management systems that merely mix traditional database software with third-party commodity HSM tools and automated storage devices.
Executing on the same platform as StorHouse/SM, StorHouse/RM optimizes direct row-level access to data regardless of its location in the StorHouse/SM-managed virtual storage hierarchy. This feature eliminates the hours to days it takes traditional data warehouse systems to restore archive data from tape to disk for analysis and decision-making.
StorHouse/RM has a comprehensive architecture that provides:
- Structured Query Language (SQL), embedded SQL (ESQL), and ODBC interfaces
- High-speed data loaders and unloaders for moving information to and from StorHouse
- RDBMS gateways to Oracle, IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB), Microsoft SQL Server, and Sybase
- An SAP-integrated interface to SAP Business Warehouse (BW) for offloading accessible aged data to StorHouse.
