The software supports iSCSI, SMB/CIFS and NFS protocols, focusing on enterprise users who require a unified NAS / SAN solution.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple: we support the commoditization of data storage. Historically, enterprise-class storage solutions have been monolithic, proprietary and expensive. Buyers were locked into one vendor, for one set of technologies and products. Scalable solutions, with advanced storage management features and capabilities such as remote replication, snap copy and automatic failover were costly and affordable only by large enterprise customers.

We endeavour to ensure that our software is not only affordable and easy to use but also rich in the features that SMBs and SMEs want. By using industry-standard server building blocks, such as rack mount chassis, x86 server boards and low-cost SATA RAID controllers, our system integrators can build storage hardware platforms at a fraction of the cost of Tier1 storage vendors.
