NeoPath Networks, a leading provider of network file management (NFM) solutions, announced today that law firm Holland & Hart has selected NeoPath's File Director for tiered storage management and transparent file migration. File Director allows NeoPath customers to dramatically reduce operating costs and improve capacity utilization of their existing NAS and general file storage infrastructure.

Holland & Hart is the largest law firm in the Rocky Mountain Region, with more than 300 attorneys in 12 offices including Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Washington D.C. The firm provides legal counsel to individuals and companies of all sizes, from emerging businesses to large public corporations located throughout the country and internationally.

"Using NeoPath, we expect to save significant disk costs, and to reduce our backup windows and tape expense through automated, intelligent file placement," said Evan Johnson, network operations manager, Holland & Hart.

With NeoPath's File Director, a system administrator can transparently migrate individual files or an entire directory between file servers at any time -- even while files are being read and written to by users or applications. Further, the File Director's namespace virtualization and policy-based file management enable automated NAS tiering without impacting end users. This leads to better use of storage resources, increased end-user productivity, and reduced workload for storage administrators.

"We are pleased to add one of the country's most respected law firms to our top-notch customer roster," said Alan Baratz, CEO, NeoPath Networks. "Our customers are realizing immediate operational benefits and capacity efficiencies by implementing our network file management solution as the centerpiece of their storage management strategy."
