NetStorNW For Novell Networks - NAS


Picture shows 4 TB model

Also compatible with Windows, Unix and Macintosh Networks

 NetStorNW is a rackmount storage solution based on Novell's Nterprise Branch Office NAS software, which is a highly optimized version of Novell NetWare 6 designed specifically For Network Attached Storage file sharing needs, especially those in Branch Office locations.

For this reason, NetstorNW provides unmatched compatibility and manageability with Novell NDS/eDirectory networking environments. Adding to this, NetstorNW also provides heterogeneous networking support for Windows, Macintosh and Unix/Linux clients with its cross-platform file system.

Leveraging advanced features of Novell eDirectory Services such as secure LDAP, NetStorNW allows you to authenticate your users from your existing Novell Directory Tree directly to the NetStorNW NAS server, without the NetStorNW actually being grafted or joined into the tree. This eliminates the need for separate RW replicas and backup partitions, and greatly reduces the network traffic for branch office applications.

NetStorNW features a high performance file system and a dedicated hardware RAID system that is scalable up-to 8 TB of capacity, providing performance and connectivity for an unlimited amount of users with no additional client access licenses required for existing liscensed Netware users, while eliminating the burden of your existing file servers. Advanced features such as User Auto-Provisioning, File Replication to remote servers, Novell's iPrint and ZEN technology, plus an easy to use graphical user interface for both administrators and users, adds up to the perfect solution for branch office and departmental storage needs.
