Digital Storage Manager utilizes a powerful high performance indexing technology called InterSync, to provide real-time capture of extensive file metadata including Adobe's XMP standard and text content. Originally developed for enterprise deployment in MetaCommunications' Virtual Ticket product, InterSync has proven itself in the world's most demanding production environments. InterSync watches over online Windows 2000/2003, Mac OS X, Xinet, and other SMB/AFP file servers to ensure that all files are automatically indexed, analyzed for useful metadata, thumbnailed, and previewed.
InterSync eliminates the need for cumbersome check-in/check-out processes by automatically updating the database as files are added, deleted, or modified.
A unique InterSync feature allows administrators to teach it your file and folder naming conventions. Based on rules set up by the administrator, InterSync indexes each file or folder and classifies them by adding searchable keywords or automatically associating the files or folders with your job tickets.
As InterSync processes files, rules may be applied to add keywords. In this example the keyword "In Production" is being added because the file belongs to a particular volume.
