ICEBOX FILE MANAGER

CONNECT AND ORGANIZE ALL YOUR OPTICAL STORAGE FILES AND MEDIA

TRANSPARENT FILE
SYSTEM ACCESS

The ICEBOX FILE MANAGER software provides quick and easy integration into existing IT infrastructures through its standardized software interface.  Complete file systems or subdirectories of the ICEBOX can be shared independently through the local area network (including access permissions) as a CIFS share.  Users can easily generate drive letters, storage volumes or search for information in ICEBOX just like hard drive systems. ICEBOX FILE MANAGER software supports ISO 9660 and UDF (Universal Disk format) file systems, and runs on Windows, Linux, and UNIX Operating systems

OPTIMIZED SYSTEM
PERFORMANCE

Read and write performance is optimized through the flexible cache functionality of the ICEBOX FILE MANAGER. Configure various cache requirements for individual requirements.

KNOW THAT
YOUR DATA IS SAFE

ICEBOX FILE MANAGER media quality function checks file integrity on the media to ensure the long-term availability of the data. Quality checks can be executed upon request or scheduled automatically to run during defined periods. Test logs are provided to the system administrator to enable additional action if required.

OFFLINE MEDIA
MANAGEMENT

Off-line media are managed in the internal database of ICEBOX FILE MANAGER. Archived data can be localized on corresponding media by the administrator anytime. The integrated search function supports retrieval of files and file versions.

AUTOMATED
MIRRORING

ICEBOX FILE MANAGER can write data on two different media that are located on different ICEBOX units with the automated mirroring feature. If one ICEBOX unit is interrupted, the archiving process can be continued smoothly on another unit. ICEBOX FILE MANAGER server can be designed redundantly by using the clustering option.

System Requirements

Operation System

Supported operating systems are:
- Windows Server 2019
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1 (Windows 8.1 RT is not supported)
- Windows 8 (Windows 8 RT is not supported)
- Windows 7 SP1 (Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise)

Only 64 bit (x64) versions of these operating systems are supported by this version of ICEBOX File Manager.

The .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 is required. This framework is an optional component of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (R2) and must be installed there before installing ICEBOX File Manager. Windows Server 2008 (R2), Windows Vista and Windows 7 include that framework by default. Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 include .NET Framework 3.5, but it is not enabled by default.
Note that the .NET Frameworks 4 and later do not include the previous Frameworks!

Processor (max)

Intel® Core™ or AMD EPYC™ based system or a compatible processor with at least 3.5 GHz (or a multi core processor).

At least 32 GByte of RAM are required.

Memory

At least 32 GByte plus 128 GByte per Storage Vault are required.

Hard Disk

Note that the hard disk used to store images and the database must not be encrypted or compressed.

Program Files
The program files require about 100 MByte of hard disk space on the system partition.

Database / Read & Directory Cache
NTFS formatted hard disk partition with space to store the complete directory structure of all files and directories which will be managed by ICEBOX File Manager. The following formula is an estimation for the required space for the directory cache in bytes when not using Volume Sets:

(512 * NumDirs) + (128 * (NumDirs + NumFiles))

When using Volume Sets, the calculated space must be multiplied by 2.

<NumDirs> and <NumFiles> are the total number of files and directories stored in the ICEBOX.

Because ICEBOX File Manager requires one entry for the size of Read & Directory Cache, the size for an optional Read Cache must be added to the calculated Directory Cache size.

Write Cache
Hard disk space required to cache at least one complete optical disc, if write cache should be used.

Dynamic Image Recording
When using Dynamic Image Recording (BD) or Mirroring, at least two recording drives are required per jukebox (except single drives). Additionally, hard disk space to cache at least 3 media is required.
Attention: The administrator should be aware of the fact that data that is not yet migrated to optical media is stored on hard disk. Therefore it is strongly recommended to use a RAID system to store the buffered data.
