File Classification and Organizing Advanced Storage Utilization Analysis Duplicate Files Detection and Removal Fault-Tolerant File Copy and Data Migration Real-Time File System Change Monitoring High-Speed File Synchronization

FlexTk Server runs in the background as a service and may be controlled using a web-based management interface, command line tools or a GUI management application. FlexTk Server is especially optimized for non-stop, 24/7 operation and capable of performing all types of storage management operations in a fully automatic, unattended mode.

Rule-Based Storage Management In the automatic operation mode, the user is provided with the ability to define multiple managed disks, directories or network shares and specify operations to perform and parameters to monitor for each managed directory. In addition, the FlexTk server allows one to define one or more actions that should be executed if one or more of the monitored parameters exceed the specified range.

The product supports a large number of Windows and Unix-based operating systems including Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003, Server 2008, Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora Linux, Redhat Linux, etc. and is available in 32-Bit and 64-Bit flavors for all supported operating systems. FlexTk Server is a standalone software product providing a simplified, yet customizable interface and allowing one to easily transform any PCBased platform into a fully-automatic storage management solution capable of managing files on multiple network-attached servers, NAS devices and enterprise storage systems. www.flexense.com

For each monitored parameter, the FlexTk server collects statistical information, calculates trends and provides the user with the ability to define multiple conditional actions allowing one to send e-mail notifications, execute FlexTk's file management operations or custom commands, scripts or batch files.

File Classification and Organizing

Storage Utilization Analysis

The FlexTk server is capable of scanning disks, network shares and enterprise storage systems, classifying all the existing files and organizing them into a categorized file hierarchy.

The FlexTk server provides advanced storage utilization analysis capabilities allowing one to analyze one or more local disks or network shares, identify abnormal storage utilization patterns, send e-mail notifications and automatically execute user-defined actions. The user is provided with the ability to scan multiple directories, analyze directory structures and storage utilization patterns, evaluate userdefined conditions and execute specific actions when one or more user-defined conditions are met.

FlexTk automatically recognizes more than 2000 file types and allows one to browse or export the categorized file hierarchy, perform various file management operations on specific files, file classes or class groups and physically reorganize existing files according to a user-defined list of rules and policies. In addition, FlexTk provides the user with the ability to write custom file classification plugins using an open XML-Based Format. The XMLBased file classification plugins format provides support for all features available in the FlexTk file management toolkit and allows one to implement custom plugins especially designed for userspecific needs and requirements.

In addition, FlexTk Server allows one to perform storage analysis operations and execute userdefined actions periodically at specific time intervals.

Rule-Based File Search FlexTk provides powerful and flexible file search capabilities allowing one to search files using multiple search criteria including the file name, type, size, access/modification/creation times, text or binary patterns, JPEG EXIF tags, etc. FlexTk allows one to define composite search queries using multiple search rules and apply the AND/OR logical operators. Frequently used search queries may be saved as user-defined search commands and executed in a single click.

Finally, FlexTk Server allows one to perform file classification operations periodically at specific time intervals thus automatically maintaining one or more disks or directories fully organized according to user-specific rules and policies.

In addition, FlexTk Server allows one to specify a search condition and a list of actions that should be executed if the specified search condition is met. Finally, the user is provided with the ability to execute user-defined search commands periodically at specific time intervals or conditionally according to user-specified rules and policies.

Duplicate Files Detection and Removal

Real-Time Disk Change Monitor

The FlexTk Server provides a large number of advanced features and capabilities allowing one to identify and cleanup duplicate files on personal computers and enterprise storage systems.

The FlexTk server includes a built-in disk monitor capable of detecting file creations, modifications, attribute changes and deletions in real-time. The real-time disk monitor provides the user with the ability to monitor one or more disks, directories or network shares and detect all changes made in the monitored file systems. In addition, the user is provided with the ability to specify conditional real-time actions allowing one to send e-mail notifications, execute userdefined commands, custom commands, scripts or batch files.

IT professionals and enterprises are provided with policy-based duplicate files detection and removal capabilities allowing one to detect and remove duplicate files in a fully automatic, unattended mode. The FlexTk server provides a number of duplicates removal actions including: replace all duplicates with a link to the original file, move all duplicates to a user specified directory and delete all duplicate files. Finally, the FlexTk server allows one to execute duplicate files detection and removal commands periodically at specific time intervals thus automatically reclaiming wasted storage space and removing unwanted duplicate content.

High-Speed File Synchronization FlexTk provides advanced file synchronization capabilities allowing one to synchronize files between directories, local disks and network shares. The user is provided with numerous oneway and two-way file synchronization modes, rule-based file matching capabilities and advanced performance tuning options. Moreover, FlexTk allows one to execute userdefined file synchronization commands periodically and specific time intervals thus automatically keeping one or more pairs of directories completely synchronized. Finally, the FlexTk Server allows one to monitor one or more disks or directories and automatically execute a file synchronization command when the number of changes in a directory exceeds a user- specified maximum.

The integration of the real-time disk monitor with user-defined commands opens an unlimited number of new capabilities such as real-time file synchronization, real-time backup operations, conditional real-time change notifications, etc. For example, the FlexTk's disk monitoring features used in conjunctions with the file synchronization or file copy capabilities provide flexible and effective Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and real-time backup solutions.

Fault-Tolerant Data Migration The FlexTk's data migration engine allows one to copy vast amounts of data fast, efficiently and reliably. The data migration engine provides recoverable copy operations capable of copying ACLs, security attributes, ownership information and file timestamps. The data migration engine is especially optimized for modern hardware platforms, capable of effectively utilizing fast disk drives, powerful RAID controllers, multi-CPU/multi-core servers and Gigabit Ethernet networks and allows one to copy data at various speeds thus minimizing the potential impact on running production systems.
