StorPoint NAS is connected as a node in a 10 or 100 Mbit Ethernet network.
To the network your StorPoint NAS acts as a file server. This means that it is
independent of other file servers, i.e. the communication takes place directly
between the network client and StorPoint NAS. This results in high
performance, reliability and independence of other equipment.
The file server independent approach makes the installation quick and
convenient. In most environments the physical connection to the network is the
only installation required prior to starting work with StorPoint NAS. No
software needs to be installed on clients or file servers. Your computer will see
StorPoint NAS as another network file server, and you access it using the
standard commands used in your network operating system.
StorPoint NAS can be used simultaneously from NetWare, Windows, OS/2,
DOS, UNIX and Internet/intranet clients. It supports basic messaging and
network protocols:
•
NCP over IPX
•
NCP over IPX/UDP (NetWare IP)
•
NCP over TCP/IP (PureIP)
•
SMB over NetBIOS/NetBEUI
•
SMB over NetBIOS/TCP/IP
•
NFS over UDP/IP
•
HTTP over TCP/IP.
The built-in Web server makes it possible to access data via any standard Web
browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The
support includes configuration, management and disk access.
By using a 32-bit RISC processor and cache memory expandable up to 160 MB,
data throughput of up to 16 Mbit/sec on a single client.
