This shared access capability enables single-copy data sharing and rapid deployment of consolidated storage solutions. The resulting effect enables filers to seamlessly scale performance and capacity from small workgroups to large, multiple-terabyte heterogeneous enterprises. The optimized microkernel design ensures network transactions are not lost and provides fast client response times and high throughput without requiring complex hardware configurations or manual performance tuning. Protects against disk failures, avoiding disruption of service to users.
Automatic reconstruction takes place, with notification sent to the system administrator.
End users can quickly recover deleted or modified files without administrative assistance or restore from tape backup. The Snapshot function requires minimal disk space and causes no disruption of service. Allows any system to revert back to a specified data volume Snapshot for instant file-system recovery. Terabytes can be recovered in minutes, rather than hours, without going to tape. Easy, cost-effective clustering .
