Closed Operating System.

More difficult to hack versus open architecture (Microsoft SAK).

Minimizes unauthorized access and viruses.

CIFS/Windows Security.

• SID of the owner's primary group
• SID of the owner's primary group Access Control List for the file or directory

Robust CIFS/Windows security support.

NFS/UNIX Security.

• User ID (UID) of the owner
• Group ID (GID) of the owner
• Permission bits for the owner, defining read, write, and execute (rwx) permissions
• Permission bits for the group, defining rwx permissions
• Permission bits for others, defining rwx for users other than UID, or members of the group other than the one specified by the GID

Robust NFS/UNIX security support.

Cross-Protocol Security Mapping.

Consistent security policies for objects created through one file system protocol (for example, UNIX) and then accessed through another (for example, Windows).

Simplified, policy-based, multi-protocol security configuration and management saves time.

Investment Protection with SAN Subsystems.

Support for Sun StorEdge 6130, 6920, 9970, 9980, 9985, and 9990 systems.

Pay as you grow, paying for what you need when you need it. Deploy to block or file services as needed.

Dynamic Volume Expansion.

Grow data volume size without powering down the system.

Easily and quickly grow capacity without disruption of service.

Expansion Slots.

Two PCI-X slots for optional NICs and HBAs.

Plenty of room to grow.

Journaling File System with Checkpoint Capability.

• Saves user and meta data
• Maintains a log of block activity
• File consistency for committed transactions
• Remote file replication/data mirroring

Enhanced data integrity and fast recovery. Helps save time because data protection is integrated and easy to perform.

Remote Replication/Data Mirroring, and Remote Monitoring.

Remote file replication/data mirroring, SNMP, and remote syslog.

Complete data and application availability for disaster recovery planning and ability to remotely monitor system health.

Clustering Capability.

Ability to run two NAS clustered nodes in parallel and fail-over from one NAS node to another.

Helps provide continuous data availability.

Network Interface Card Failover.

• Redundant path to the same IP address
• Cooperative (with the host) failover topology

Self-healing data availability recovery helps keep system up and running.

Integrated real-time antivirus scanning (requires companion AV server).

Scans all files for viruses in conjunction with Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine.

Helps protect data from computer viruses.

Cross-Protocol Client Support and Management.

Supports both Network File System (UNIX) and CIFS(Microsoft Windows) clients.

Saves time and money by allowing integrated consolidation of mixed operating environments.

Cross-Protocol Management.

• Same management for UNIX and Windows clients
• No artificial partitioning
• File sharing between UNIX and Microsoft client groups and users

Simplified common management for mixed operating environments saves time.

User/Group Mapping.

Maps UNIX users/groups to Windows users/groups. Includes automatic or manual configuration options.

Convenient, integrated, multi-protocol file sharing configuration options.

Cross-Protocol Locking.

Integrated multiprotocol security model and supports Windows Access Control Lists (ACLs) and files with UNIX permissions.

Secured file sharing in multi-protocol environments.

Cross-Protocol Security Mapping.

Allows consistent security policies for objects to be created through one file system protocol (for example, UNIX) and then accessed through another (for example, Windows).

Simplified policy-based, multi-protocol security configuration and management maintains data integrity.

iSCSI target support for Solaris 10 and Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiators.

Facilitates block-level access protocol.

Enables block-level and file-level data consolidation.

Data Throughput.

Full 2-Gb Fibre Channel (FC) back end.

Very fast access to data for the most demanding user requirements.

Port Aggregation/Trunking.

Allows use of the same IP address across multiple NIC ports from a single switch.

Increased bandwidth performance.

Fast Snapshot Restore.

• Provides for a metadata-effected restore of snapshot file
• Facilitates recovery of accidentally-deleted data within minutes
• Does not necessitate recovery of an entire volume

Allows for getting up and running quickly.
