Guardian NAS servers utilize the Java2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) version 1.3.

 

Snap Server NAS servers utilize Jeode virtual machine technologies from Insignia Solutions. The Jeode application environment is Insignia's accelerated implementation of Java technology, tailored for embedded devices and information appliances. The Jeode Application Environment for Snap Server Products carries the Java Powered brand, having passed the EmbeddedJava Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) provided by Sun Microsystems.

 

Included in all Guardian and Snap NAS server software is support for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0. This is a secure protocol that enables a remote client to establish a secure connection to a Guardian or Snap NAS server through a browser. This secure communication can be used to administer the Guardian or Snap NAS server and/or access data in a specific directory of the Guardian or Snap NAS server. SSL addresses the issue of "in the clear" passwords transmitted as part of the standard HTTP protocol and prevents a third party from gaining unauthorized access to the server.
