This provides a cost effective and very flexible solution to file serving using either physical or virtual servers. The solution can utilize Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Storage Server 2008. Native Windows protocol is used for CIFS, while scalable NFS can be provided by incorporating third party products such as Hummingbird NFS Maestro. Sanbolic’s Melio FS and FilerScaler turns Windows Server into a file serving high-end solution— allowing users to modularly scale Windows-based system instead of installing a dedicated file serving appliance.
Sanbolic’s FilerScaler provides:
• Centralized management and provisioning of Windows network shares
• Provisioning of clustered highly available and scalable network shares when used with Sanbolic Melio FS.
• Simplification of network shares deployment in a non shared back end when used with NTFS
• Monitoring of network share health across the enterprise
• Management of multiple file share clusters independently from one interface.
• Decreased roll out time and increased productivity.
• Ability to apply and utilize native windows security attributes to shares and support for Active Directory
