Storage Networking
Overview
Xinit Systems started producing solutions to address data storage and
information management needs in networked environments in early 2000. Since then
we have filled out our product and service portfolio with a vast array of
solutions to meet just about every shared storage requirement at enterprise,
departmental, Internet and Application service provision and technical computing
levels.
Our storage networking bona fides includes the in-house development of a
full-fledged Open Source network storage management utility - Openfiler. The
Openfiler project thrives under the guidance and support of Xinit Systems'
software development team, with useful feedback from the user community being
incorporated regularly into the application framework in the form of new
features and enhancements. Openfiler is a Linux-based NAS (CIFS, NFS, HTTP, DAV)
/ SAN (iSCSI, Fibre Channel) operating system with a powerful web-based
management interface combined to make a compelling block and file-based
networked storage solution.
The beauty of Openfiler, aside from its support of all industry standard
storage networking protocols, is its ability to run on any industry-standard
hardware. This means x86 and x64 platforms from Intel and AMD. Indeed, Xinit
Systems SharqStor NS NAS appliances are built using x64 processors from AMD
corporation and integrate the Openfiler Storage Operating System to deliver
highly performant and affordable NAS/SAN solutions.
