   CD/DVD Disc Management:
Get organized! Instead of fumbling with dozens or hundreds of optical discs, store an exact replica image of the disc on DataShare x2's available RAID protected hard drives. No more hassle, the discs are on-line all the time for instant access and they can be easily organized into multiple volume groupings to make locating them a breeze! Load new discs via front-mounted CD/DVD loaders, or from the comfort of your office over the network by using the powerful Remote Load software (included free of charge).
( Up-to 1000 individual volume groupings can be created. As many as 1500 discs can be assigned to one or multiple volume groupings. )
Make backup copies of important discs, or create your own CD or DVD discs as easily as drag-n-drop using the included Disc Creation software (included free of charge). Minimize deployment costs of PC hardware by allowing selected network users to use the DataShare x2 as a centralized resource for creating or copying discs, instead of each PC being equipped with a DVD-RW recorder.
Periodic or monthly updates on CD or DVD? No problem. With DataShare x2, you can easily replace the old outdated volumes that were previously cached with the new discs as they become available, all without resetting share names or volume security. If you want to keep an archive of all the periodic updates instead of removing the old ones, you can choose to do so.
Data Storage File Sharing:
Utilizing the DataShare x2 to compliment an existing File Sever or as a replacement File Server is a smart move! The easy-to-use management interface removes all the unnecessary options that just get in the way when configuring a complete operating system, instead focusing on what really matters: serving files.
DataShare x2 features available RAID protected hard drives, scalable on-the-fly to 2TB* in capacity. It's a perfect home for storing data like private home directories, project data, or as a disk-to-disk backup server.
Easily create several share points and set granular security for the share, folder, and file level using native operating system tools like Microsoft Windows Explorer "right-click, set permissions" dialog box. Or use the built-in admin web interface instead if you prefer.
Backup and Disaster Recovery:
SmartSync technology is built-in to every DataShare x2, allowing you to easily create a "primary" and "secondary" scenario, where the primary server backups all data and configuration settings to the secondary, and in the event the primary fails the secondary can be easily brought on-line with little or no downtime or data loss.
Disk-to-Disk backup is easily implemented with DataShare x2, either using the built-in SmartSync technology to backup to another DataShare x2 server, or by using popular backup software packages and targeting the DataShare x2 as the "disk-to-disk server". Most commonly this is used to backup several workstations or servers within the network to a single centralized storage point, the DataShare x2, while maintaining your powerful scheduling, selective restore, and disaster recovery features that are included with advanced backup software packages.
Network Compatibility:
DataShare x2 supports Windows 9x to 2003, and will appear as a Windows File Server to the network users and perform Domain or Active Directory authentication via your domain controllers. In Unix/Linux environments, NIS support is available, or create local user and group accounts. For Macintosh users, authenticate against your Windows Domain Controller, or create local user and group accounts right on DataShare x2. No matter which network environment you have, DataShare x2 is designed to integrate with it and work seamlessly.
