CommandSoft launches its fourth generation FibreJet® SAN Management Software

64-bit compatible cross-platform, shared code-base supporting the latest OS offerings OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7.

Santa Barbara, California Wednesday, December 3, 2009: CommandSoft, Inc., a leading developer for shared storage solutions, today announced their latest version of their popular FibreJet® SAN management representing the fourth generation of the FibreJet product line.

FibreJet® 4.0 now shares a common code base between platforms bringing Mac OS X style user interface to its cross-platform Windows offering. This next generation also includes advanced Meta-data management with built in file system repair, powerful data migration and a totally new command line interface allowing scripting and automation of important maintenance and operation functions to free up administrators and editors for more productive use of their time.

CommandSoft’s latest product offerings make the FibreJet SAN management software an ideal solution for workgroups running Windows based versions of popular products from digital media creation and editing tool providers like Adobe, Avid and dozens of others.

New FibreJet 4.0 Cross-Platform Features

Version 4.0 incorporates all features present in FibreJet version 2.x and 3.x plus some major additions:

Command Line Interface
Unified Code for both Mac OS and Windows
Support for 64-bit kernels in Snow Leopard and Windows 7
Elastic Storage Expansion
Data Migration Engine**
SAN Support Tools
Built-in Advanced File System checking and repair utilities
Built-in Partition Map recovery tool to Resurrect damaged partition maps**
Built-in Virtualization Support**
Maturing Meta-data-based Database Engine
A growing “Users” and “Profiles” paradigm
Increased Customization Options**

The next generation of FibreJet offers users an ever-increasing list of exciting new features. Administrators can now expand existing file systems* that need more space right within FibreJet. A new Data Migration engine allows SAN administrators block-copy or file-copy capabilities for data duplication, backup and storage retirement. SAN Support tools include event log auditing and SAN Health support in the form of built-in diagnostics reporting, file system checking, and advanced repair.

A new tool provides an unprecedented view into the virtualization of SAN structure including the relationships between a file system volume and its underlying physical disk, partition structures and software RAID structure. This tool also includes utilities for archiving the partition maps, useful not only for support purposes, but also recovering from certain catastrophic data-loss scenarios.

FibreJet 4.0 offers many new features in addition to those listed above, including an entirely new GUI unified across platforms and made possible by a unified code base for Mac and Windows, custom meta-data enabling the user to apply user-defined graphics in the GUI, and new ways for users to manage multiple workflow environments with User Profiles, allowing SAN working environment configurations to follow Users from one workstation to another on the SAN.

FibreJet 4.0 for Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7 is available for immediate download for a charge of just $499.00 for all FibreJet customers with active CommandSoft support agreements. Request your upgrade code at:
