Operating system for Snap Server storage systems for the distributed enterprise
SnapServer Guardian OS
Highlights:
Operating system for Snap Server storage systems for the distributed enterprise
The award-winning GuardianOS™ operating system combines file-level (NAS) with block-level (IP SAN) data on a single device to provide a simple and flexible solution ideal for any storage infrastructure. In addition to its unified storage architecture, GuardianOS offers seamless scalability, centralized storage management, and a comprehensive suite of data protection tools ideal for consolidating data and simplifying management to reduce storage total cost of ownership (TCO).
Integrates BakBone NetVault WorkGroup Server including free upgrade to 500GB virtual tape library (VTL) license
Easy system setup and management, RAID set changes, volume management, and share creation
Simplest migration of large amounts of data, including security permissions, from file servers to a Snap Server
Instant Capacity Expansion™ (I.C.E.) dynamically scales Snap Servers to meet growing storage needs
Create volumes up to 16TB each
Unified Storage Architecture: simultaneous iSCSI (block) and NAS (file) support
