FlashNAS
World’s
Fastest, Affordable
Network Attached
Storage
 FlashNAS
is an affordable,
easy to deploy
high performance
network attached
storage solution
based on mature,
field-proven technology.
It is simple to
use and manage,
highly scalable
and competitively
priced. FlashNAS
is designed to
let you quickly
and easily expand
your storage as
the need arises,
while providing
superior data
integrity and
reliability.
FlashNAS is a
“filer”
(file server)
intended to meet
the high data
availability requirements
of organizations
needing to store
and serve file-oriented
content to clients
over
a Local Area Network
(LAN). The Fibre
Channel version
of FlashNAS permits
you to
easily integrate
into your corporate
SAN. It includes
advanced data
availability features
like point-in-time
snapshot backups,
RAID data protection
and fault-tolerant
hardware.
This is ideal
for ISP/ASP, manufacturing,
web server, financial,
multimedia, imaging,
and other LAN-based
applications.
Network-ready
Storage Appliance
Adding file storage
is a snap and
can be integrated
“on-the-fly”
seamlessly into
your existing
LAN environment
without having
to bring the LAN
or servers down
or disrupt users.
FlashNAS connects
to your network
via a standard
Ethernet cable,
just like adding
a new PC to any
available ethernet
port. Preconfigured
for ease of installation,
all network administration
can be done from
anywhere on the
network via a
standard web browser.
The appliance
approach of FlashNAS
eliminates setup
issues to dramatically
reduce total storage
management costs.
Multi-Platform
File Sharing
FlashNAS is made up of a file server running Windows Powered Server Appliance and FlashDisk OpenRAID disk arrays. Out of the box, it supports Windows Common Internet File System (CIFS), Novell Netware (CNP), AppleTalk Protocol (AFP), and Network File System (NFS) for UNIX and Linux networks.
Manageability
FlashNAS has an
easy to use web-based
user interface
that provides
set up and administration
from a remote
console. The convenience
of remote management
will save you
valuable network
administration
time. FlashNAS
interoperates
with industry
standard management
software like
CA Unicenter,
HP OpenView and
Tivoli NetView.
Eliminates
BackUp Window
With FlashNAS
you can create
a snapshot backup,
allow users to
continue working
and perform a
tape backup from
the snapshot image.
This eliminates
the backup window.
Using any industry
standard backup
software, backup
proceeds in parallel
to actual operation
to eliminate the
downtime normally
associated with
tape backups.
This is a remarkable
time savings especially
in today’s
24/7 environments.
Low
Total Cost of
Ownership
FlashNAS is easy
to deploy, easy
to manage, affordable
and flexible.
The appliance
approach minimizes
network administrator
time, and storage
maintenance and
storage management
time using a dedicated
NAS solution.
In today’s
complex IT environments,
network administration
costs two to seven
times the initial
cost of the storage.
Thus, simplifying
the deployment
and management
of storage, results
in tremendous
and tangible cost
savings that measurably
lower the total
cost of ownership.
Storage
Management & “Call
Home” Service
All FlashDisk
storage products
are centrally
managed with our
FlashConsole management
appliance providing
remote access
and real-time
e-mail notification
to reduce downtime
and increase data
availability.
The optional “call
home” service
provides 24 hour
support by our
call center. FlashConsole
continuously monitors
your data when
you are not around,
is totally secure,
and takes less
than one hour
to install and
configure.
Service
and Support
FlashDisk OpenRAID
products are shipped
with next day
on-site service
for one year with
a toll-free hotline.
Additional service
plans are available
to support any
high availability
requirement.
