NAS to SAN Server Appliance SNAZ FC is a NAS File Server with an integrated Fibre Channel SAN bridge. NAS has become the accepted method to simplify network storage access and expansion. NAS costs less to install and support than general purpose Windows and UNIX servers and allows multi-platform users including Windows, UNIX and MAC clients to gain simultaneous access to stored files. SNAZ FC merges NAS and SAN technologies leveraging the features and performance of a SAN with the ease and convenience of a NAS product. SNAZ FC is a highly-optimized file server that bridges between the local area network (LAN) and a Storage Area Network (SAN).

NAZ FC enables customers to leverage their investments in SAN infrastructure, and reap the benefits of NAS including simplicity, fast deployment cycles, reduced cost of access and heterogeneous file sharing. SNAZ FC provides the benefits of a full featured file server without the headaches, compatibility challenges, and integration efforts of comparably configured general purpose servers with greatly improved price performance.

SNAZ FC uses the nEngirie with embedded FlashLinux NAS operating system for heterogeneous Windows and UNIX client access to SAN storage volumes.

Key features include

• Windows CIFS and UNIX NFS - Allows simultaneous heterogeneous access for Windows, UNIX and Macintosh* users.
• Fibre Channel SAN Interface - supports up to 128 SAN disk drives or Storage Arrays including FibreArray® HI 12 and FibreArray®AA.
• Full RAID Fault Tolerant Support - of multiple RAID sets each with its own unique RAID levels and local or Global Spares. Choose between RAID levels 0, 1, 10, and 5.
• Dual SCSI Interfaces - for local disk storage and tape backup devices.
• Dual 101100 Ethernet Channels - for network growth and load balancing.
• Installs in minutes - with simple browser based setup and administration from anywhere on the network.
• Integrated Tape backup - software allows local backup without degrading network performance.

SNAZ FC simply makes good business sense as a high performance direct Network Attached Storage file server appliance using an existing SAN storage infrastructure. It is ideally suited for Inter/Intranet, ISP, e-commerce,web filer, departmental server, and virtually any distributed file or data sharing application. Featuring high I/Os and high data throughput, the SNAZ FC is the next step for those who wish to simply and easily expand their data storage and file serving capacity.
