High Speed Data Sharing

Enables concurrent access to a common storage pool for improved productivity and faster project completion

Heterogeneous Access

Supports broadest range of server platforms and storage for greater collaboration and fewer delays

Platform Independence

Runs on multiple server platforms and storage devices, preserving user choice and eliminating vendor dependencies

Consolidated Storage

Reduced dependence on under-utilized direct attach storage

SAN Based Storage Pools

Provides direct, high throughput data access for faster processing, eliminating slow, time-intensive transfers of data over local networks

Cross-Platform Permission Management

Simplifies access in mixed environments by enabling user to utilize Windows and UNIX accounts for accessing files—LDAP integration centralizes account management for increased ease of use

File Locking and Block-Level Access

Provides flexibility to handle multiple access requirements including protected access to files and concurrent, block-level access to a single file

File System Journaling

Ensures rapid system recovery in the event of unplanned system shutdown

Quotas

Controls disk utilization to prevent over use by individual users and groups

Failover

Increases data availability through optional MetaData Controller failover

Multi-Tier Archiving

Moves data between performance and value storage tiers to control long term storage costs

Transparent Access

Single view of data regardless of file location enables users to locate files faster and more easily

Platform Independent

Supports broad range of disk, tape, and network based appliances to preserve user choice and leverage next generation technologies

Automated Data Movement

User Defined Policies

Determines when, where, and how data is moved based on user’s specific requirements

Proactive Monitoring and Alerting

Users iLayer™ technology to automatically monitor system health and send email alerts, simplifying service and reducing downtime

Embedded Data Protection

Created multiple copies of files and provides vaulting to safeguard data both on-site and off-site

Large Archive Scalability

Provides long term scaling with support for 100 million files, greater than 2TB LUNs, and petabytes of storage

Storage Consolidation

Combines disk, tape, and network attached resources into an efficient storage pool, eliminating under-utilized islands of storage

Failover

Increases data availability through optional MetaData Controller failover
