  • Reader/Cache: Pull data from CD or DVD disc and store it on Director
  • Optionally equip Director with a Disc Management system, allowing:
    - Storage of exact duplicate image of the disc contents, instead of just a "file copy".
    - Extensive disc volume groupings.
    - Capability to make copies of cached data discs.

      HDD Storage Devices, RAID:
      Up-to 4 or 8 physical hard disk drives per server, up-to 4TB capacity per unit.

  • 1U rackmount = 4 physical hard drives per server.
  • 2U rackmount = 8 physical hard drives per server.
  • Hot-swappable intelligent disk drive backplane module.
  • Serial ATA disk drive technology, capacities up-to 500GB per drive.
  • RAID level 0, 1 and 5 supported, with optional global hot-spare.
  • Up-to (4) concurrent RAID arrays.
  • Dynamic RAID 5 expansion scalable up-to 2 TB capacity per volume.

      SmartExtend iSCSI based technology included allows capacities of up-to 22TB.

  • Up-to 10 NAS RAID add-on volumes can be connected to the NAS header, turning it into a gateway.
  • The NAS header will manage all file sharing roles, security, etc., from a single interface.
  • All users connect to a single NAS device network namespace to access all storage capacity.
  • Each individual NAS RAID add-on volume is limited to 2TB capacity and features its own stand-alone RAID 5 array for optimum performance.
  • The maximum single share size is 22TB. Up-to 1000 shares can be created.

      Event Monitoring and Environmental:

  • LCD console and keypad displays critical system events.
  • RS-232 DB9 serial interface for connecting to APC SmartUPS for controlled shutdowns.
  • Network UPS (RFC-1628) for connecting to most UPS's for controlled shutdown over network.
  • Sensors: CPU temperature, fan speed, power voltages, and disk drive health.
  • Customizable email notification of critical events
Networking Enviroments:

      Microsoft Network Server Support:

  • Trusts: User authentication is possible from any domain with a trust relationship to the domain in which the DataNAS is installed
  • Security: Granular File-level / User-level / Share-level security controlled via administration web GUI, Native Windows Security via Windows Explorer
  • Authentication: NTLM v1 and NTLM v2 supported

      Microsoft Network Client Support:

  • Clients: Windows 95/98/Me, NT 4, 2000, 2003, XP
  • Protocols: CIFS / SMB, HTTP, FTP
  • Security: Granular File-level / User-level / Share-level security controlled via
    administration web GUI, Native Windows Security via Windows Explorer

      Novell NetWare Network Client Support:

  • Protocols: NetWare NCP over IPX support*
    * Limited security support, no NDS/eDirectory support.

      Apple Macintosh Client Support:

  • Clients: OS 8.x, 9.x, OS X 10.x
  • Protocols: Appletalk, AFP over IP
  • Authentication can be passed to a NT Domain Active Directory

      Unix Network Server Support:

  • Authentication: NIS support
  • NIS users and NT users can be automatically mapped to the same ID's in the internal DataNAS user database
  • Security: Traditional NFS Security, controlled by root-user

      Unix Network Client Support:

  • Clients: Most Unix/Linux variants capable of NFS v3
  • Protocols: NFS v3 over UDP or TCP, HTTP, FTP

      Web Browser (HTTP):

  • Internet Explorer 5 or above
  • Administrative tools and server setup accessed via HTTP
  • Users can log in and authenticate via a NT Domain or 2000 Active Directory, as well as local-database
  • SSL 3.0 (HTTPS) connections supported over Internet Explorer 5.0 or above for both users and administrators

      File Transfer Protocol (FTP):

  • Users can log in and authenticate via a NT Domain or 2000 Active Directory, as well as local-database
      System Management & Disaster Recovery:

  • Most network backup platforms supported such as Microsoft Backup, and Legato Networker.
  • Available locally attached tape backup supports most SCSI devices, such as AIT, LTO, DAT, DLT, SDLT. Built-in task scheduler, selective file restorer. Additional purchase of license key required to active auto-loader/library functionality..
  • Email notification and SNMP traps for monitoring events.
  • Operating system stored in non-volatile DOM (disk on module), reducing chance of failure.
