This solution supports multiple file sharing protocols, so businesses can consolidate and make a single centralized platform to manage, protect and create a scalable disk-based backup/replication target.
The Windows-powered operating system is pre-installed and internal storage is pre-configured, so it's a quick, secure, and easy way to add storage to one's network or to add intelligent file and iSCSI services to one's Fibre-Channel SAN.
