The ARX aggregates all of your back-end storage and offers it through
front-end (CIFS and/or NFS) services to your clients. The ARX supports a
maximum of 64 services, each with a distinct FQDN and virtual-IP (VIP)
address. This maximum is for the sum of all CIFS and NFS services. The
smaller ARX-500 platform offers up to 16 distinct services.
The maximum number of CIFS shares that you can offer to your ARX
clients is 16,000.
Table 1.4 describes the basic features of each ARX. For more detailed
hardware requirements, refer to
page 1-39 or refer to the ARX Hardware Reference Guide.
