XSAN 2.0
High-availability design
Access your mission-critical data even in the event of a system or Fibre Channel switch failure. Xsan 2 includes high-availability features such as metadata controller failover, bandwidth reservation, and Fibre Channel multipathing. It can also send automatic event notifications via email or pager.
Easy deployment & Administration
With Xsan, it’s easy to configure a storage network to meet the needs of your organization. It features sophisticated volume management tools for storage optimization and lets you define file access permissions, assign quotas, and easily integrate with existing enterprise LDAP directory services.
Seamless integration
Built to work with existing infrastructures, Xsan is compatible with native Mac OS X applications and many leading Fibre Channel switches. Xsan is interoperable with StorNext File System from ADIC, allowing you to share storage volumes with Windows, Linux, and UNIX systems.
