Novell Storage Manager introduces management and structure to an unmanaged and unstructured network storage system. In the process, it automates the full life-cycle management of user and group storage. Leveraging directory services (commonly referred to as "the directory"), Novell Storage Manager automates a comprehensive set of storage management tasks based on events, identity, and policies that reside in the directory.

Novell Storage Manager 3.1.1.2 is also available in the Novell File Management Suite, which includes Novell File Reporter and Novell Dynamic File Services. For information, see the Novell File Management Suite Documentation Web site at http://www.novell.com/documentation/file_management_suite.

The evaluation version of Novell Storage Manager is a full-featured version of the product, restricted to 30 days through an evaluation license. Once you download the product ISO and begin the installation of the NSMAdmin administrative tool, you can request an evaluation license. The timespan of the evaluation license begins the day that license is downloaded—rather than the day it is installed..
