Software Development:
Architecture Features
ezNAS
is deployed as a NAS/SAN appliance or IP storage gateway and provides
storage administrators with a powerful tool to cope with burgeoning
storage needs. ezNAS specifically supports XIOtech Emprise 5000 and
others to create a superior virtualization value.
This
deployment flexibility of ezNAS
also allows storage administrators managing networked storage in a
multi-platform environments the ability to make the best use of
storage capacity resources.
ezNAS
addresses all the key data storage concerns:
Reliability
- ezNAS supports both
software and hardware RAID with monitoring and alert facilities;
volume snapshot and recovery
Availability
- ezNAS supports
active/passive high availability clustering, MPIO, and block level
replication
Performance
- Linux 2.6 kernel supports the latest CPU, networking and storage
hardware
Scalability
- filesystem scalability to 60TB+, online filesystem and volume
growth support
Deployment Scenarios
The range of storage
networking protocols provided by ezNAS
makes it an excellent choice for several deployment scenarios:
|
Storage Area Networking
|
Network Attached Storage
| |
|
Heterogeneous File Sharing
Exchange Server backend
Virtual Machine storage backend
Network User home
directories
Media archiving

Cost-effective Storage
ezNAS
comes with a wealth of features and capabilities that address
specific storage management pain points. First, it comes installed on
industry standard server hardware
Also,
ezNAS management is
performed via a powerful and intuitive web-based graphical user
interface. Through this interface, an administrator can perform
various administrative tasks such as creating volumes, network
shares, allocating disk quota for users and groups and managing RAID
arrays.
It
can be used as a storage gateway for existing deployed SAN or DAS
storage systems. In that context, ezNAS
creates new avenues for sharing existing storage capacity. Read more >>
