Description
American Megatrends NAS 2.0 Software (Linux-Based)
Active Directory is supported. Active Directory presents organizations with a directory
service designed for distributed computing environments. Active Directory allows
organizations to centrally manage and share information on network resources and
users while acting as the central authority for network security. In addition to
providing comprehensive directory services to a Windows environment, Active
Directory is designed to be a consolidation point for isolating, migrating, centrally
managing, and reducing the number of directories that companies require.
ACL is supported. An ACL is a table that tells the OS the access rights each user has
to a directory or file. The directory or file has a security attribute that identifies its
access control list. The list has an entry for each system user with access privileges,
such as read, write, and execute.
Snapshot is supported. Snapshot service gives you a nearly instantaneous virtual copy
of your storage volume with no interruption of service. The underlying backup
technology creates an instantaneous copy of the data being backed up. This is typically
accomplished by splitting a mirrored set of disks or creating a copy of a disk block
when it is written, preserving the original. At restore time, the original is made
available immediately and synchronizing the underlying disks is done in the
background, resulting in almost instantaneous restores. Copies are automatically
performed at a time you select.
Note:
StorTrends NAS Software (version 2.0) uses 20% of total hard disk space to
create a Snapshot.
NIS is supported. Developed by Sun Microsystems, NIS is a distributed naming and
directory service originally called YP or Yellow Pages. It is a mechanism for
identifying and locating network objects and resources. It provides a uniform storage
and retrieval method for network-wide information in a transport-protocol and media-
independent fashion.
Journaling is supported. A Journaling File System (JFS) enables easy file system
recovery and ensures no loss of data in the event of an unscheduled downtime event.
