Backup/Recovery Solutions for Network Appliance Filers
Overview In heterogeneous environments of UNIX and NT platforms, customers need to access data regardless of operating system version or file structure. NAS resolves this problem by providing a common file protocol - Network File Systems (NFS) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) - and large disk arrays accessible via the LAN. The NAS interface to disk is over fiber channel arbitrated loop using SCSI protocol. NAS is thus optimized for data access for the users via the LAN. Network Appliance filers solve this critical problem for heterogeneous, cross-platform environments. By providing a common NFS or CIFS gateway to storage, both UNIX and NT users can directly access data, and, depending on the models of Filers installed, store terabytes of information.
