Guardianos Specifications - Overland Storage SnapServer Administrator's Manual

Chapter 1
SnapServer appliances are designed as flexible, low-maintenance network-attached storage
(NAS) file servers optimized for performance and efficiency. They run GuardianOS, an
operating system built to maximize file I/O throughput across multi-network protocols. To
this end, all unnecessary system control and processing functions that are associated with
a general-purpose server have been removed. This guide applies to SnapServer appliances
and expansions running GuardianOS version 7.0 or later.
