Network Processors
Today an organization’s
ability to compete depends upon it’s ability to access and
manage information. Rapid data access with fast response times is
becoming more critical each day as data volumes increase. SPANStor
NAS Appliances provide the reliable, cost-effective, and scalable
storage solutions necessary in today’s information infrastructure.
Supporting up to 4 Network Processors per chassis, SPANStor is capable
of delivering unmatched price/performance. Running in a typical
system configuration, each SPANStor NP can support its own Gigabit
Ethernet interface, delivering data with unmatched response times.
No client licenses are required: SPANStor appliances support UNIX,
Microsoft Windows, and HTTP concurrently. Designed for simplicity
and ease of use, SPANStor-GT provides UNIX and Windows systems fast
data access with appliance reliability. Powered by the SPANStor
realtime micro kernal data appliances are dedicated to one function:
delivering data.

OPEN
Storage Architecture
SPANStor™;
provides an open storage architecture that scales to meet your needs.
When combined with industry standard RAID subsystems, SPANStor supports
user customizable RAID levels (0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5,) on different data
sets in the same storage module. Each Network Processor supports
a variety of Ethernet network connections (10/100/1000) and SCSI
interface channels using powerful realtime software that dynamically
optimizes data storage for maximum performance. Each SPANStor license
includes concurrent support for NFS, SMB/CIFS, and HTTP protocols.
Backup support for SCSI tape devices is standard, removing backup
data from your corporate networks and speeding backup times. A full
line of SPANStor companion products is available supporting multi-level
& remote mirroring, Fibre Channel SAN attachment, and Enterprise
Backup. Only SPANStor Storage Appliances provide for concurrent
