Object server

Content Manager OnDemand stores and retrieves objects that reside on an object server through requests routed by the library server.

An object server is the repository for objects stored on the system. The object server manages storage resources that are defined through the Content Manager OnDemand administrative programs. The object server supports attachment of disk and storage devices managed by Tivoli® Storage Manager (also known as IBM Spectrum Protect), as well as a number of cloud storage managers. A Content Manager OnDemand system can have many object servers distributed across networks to provide convenient user access. Object servers run on AIX, Linux®, and Windows servers.

Object servers work with the Content Manager OnDemand administrative programs to efficiently manage storage resources. This allows the Content Manager OnDemand administrator to specify how long documents reside on one media type before migrating them to another and how long Content Manager OnDemand maintains documents on the system.
