Hedge has unveiled Canister 24.1, providing users with the flexibility of Pick & Mix Collections and addressing the challenges of noisy archiving with support for GoSymply’s 10Gb Ethernet-connected LTO drives.
The Pick & Mix feature empowers users to effortlessly arrange items in any order, offering a seamless experience across both Mac and Windows platforms. While Mac users can utilize sources from any storage volume, Windows is presently constrained to items from the same volume due to technical considerations.
Revolutionary Ethernet LTO Drive Support
Symply’s innovative 10Gb Ethernet-connected LTO drives offer a noise-free alternative to Thunderbolt solutions. This advancement allows users to relocate their LTO drives to a distant, quiet space while keeping their computer and storage close. Additionally, these drives facilitate multi-computer connections without the hassle of switching cables, requiring only an upgrade to an office switch or router with 10GE SPF connectors. Hedge now extends support for Symply’s Ethernet LTO in Canister 24.1 for both Mac and Windows users.
Elevating Windows Experience
Since its launch in October 2023, Canister for Windows has garnered widespread satisfaction. Presently aligning closely with its Mac counterpart, the Windows version introduces notable features:
- Simultaneous Transfers: Streamlined delivery of multiple tape copies of the same archive.
- Canister’s Preflight Checks (CPC): Simplifying the challenging setup of LTO drives with an intuitive onboarding tool, with plans for expanding support for HBAs and various drivers.
- One-Click Support: Access instant help through the Contact Support form, with automatic collection of required logs for prompt assistance.
- Console Viewer: Catering to tech enthusiasts and power users, providing real-time visibility into Canister’s Event Log.
These enhancements underscore Hedge’s commitment to user-friendly and efficient archival solutions.
