NETSERV

FEATURE: This server is ideal for a CD/DVD/Blu-ray library ranging from a handful of discs all the way up to thousands of CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray discs (or a mix of all). You get a greater breadth of capacity than a jukebox in the size of a breadbox (or desktop tower or rack - depending on customer requirements).

BENEFIT: Your CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs are organized, safe, and easy to access by anyone on the network.

FEATURE:By imaging the CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs to a hard disc drive, this NAS media server can hold many more titles and provide faster access. CD/DVD towers or jukeboxes cannot approach this level of service or value. The system automatically saves an exact image of the disc media, then creates a folder for the contents and shares those out to users on the network.

BENEFIT: Access speeds are far faster than a traditional CD/DVD server, CD Tower or jukebox where the discs must be in the tower in order to work.

FEATURE:By imaging the CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs to a hard disc drive, more users can be supported and multiple discs can be accessed simultaneously. Any authorized user on your network can access CD, DVD, and Blu-ray disc information from the server without the need for proprietary client software. The information that users need is centrally located at their fingertips and accessible in familiar ways, such as a share viewable via Network Neighborhood or as a mapped drive off their desktop. No need to go searching for elusive discs, and no additional training is required.

BENEFIT: With network-attached CD/DVD/Blu-ray storage, people can work faster and more productively.

FEATURE: The system attaches directly to the Ethernet network. Simply connect it to your network, enter an IP address, and use its built-in reader to capture CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc images. You are up and running in minutes. Users see (and read or search) the contents of each disc as with a network file server. Unlike SCSI attached towers, it doesn't require a server to host it. You save by either freeing up an existing server or avoiding having to purchase a server and server network license. Place it near the users who have CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray discs they need to share.

BENEFIT: It doesn't have to be located next to a server in a computer room because it's attached to the network.

FEATURE:Some CDs/DVDs/Blu-ray discs will not work unless they are physically in the local disc drive. This restriction prevents all DVD towers, CD jukeboxes and most CD/DVD servers from being able to share these titles. However, this PrimeArray NAS media server device includes unique emulation software to circumvent this restriction by creating a virtual drive locally on the workstation. To applications it appears the disc is in a local optical drive when in fact the disc is shared via the server.

BENEFIT:Lets you share a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc that would otherwise have to be in a local reader drive to work.

FEATURE:The Content Manager utility will find all CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc servers on your network and list all available discs to be shared. You simply drag-n-drop disc images into shareable, categorized folders that you create. These folders can then be viewed by end user PCs via the Content Client. The end user simply clicks on a specific disc image and views the contained data or runs an executable program.

BENEFIT:Lets you centrally manage and categorize shared CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs for your end users.

FEATURE:The content of subscription-based disc media changes on a regular basis often monthly. Every time a new subscription arrives you simply click on the disc title in the administration utility, insert the disc into the PrimeArray CD/DVD/Blu-ray server's optical drive and it automatically uploads and replaces the outdated disc while maintaining user access rights.

BENEFIT:Gives users instant access to new information.

FEATURE: Mirror mode: Automatically caches discs to the hard drive. Direct Access Mode: Makes discs immediately accessible without caching.

BENEFIT: Allows dedicated drives for caching or direct access, ideal for copy-protected media.

FEATURE: Hard disk capacity scalable from 640GB up to 16TB within a single system.

BENEFIT: Easily expand storage as your data or disc library grows.

• Compressed file scanning

BENEFIT: Proactively protects against malware threats.

FEATURE: Supports server-to-server mirroring, backup, and distribution using secure SSH and differential block sync with bandwidth control.

BENEFIT: Ensures secure, efficient backups and reliable redundancy.

FEATURE:The integrated Trend Micro antivirus software is the best-of-breed security product that delivers reliable antivirus protection for your disc media server. Works in real-time or during scheduled intervals. Updated virus pattern files can be automatically downloaded from Trend Micro and installed if the CD server has Internet access. Features include:

• Real-time, scheduled, or disable virus scanning
• Automatic virus pattern updates over internet or via file upload
• Alert when virus pattern out of date
• Alert when virus detected
• Quarantine infected files
• Exclude/include files to scan using extensions
• Scans compressed files

BENEFIT: Alerts you to viruses, working in real-time or during scheduled intervals.

FEATURE:The system includes built-in synchronization support for server-to-server mirroring, distribution, and tapeless backup of CD, DVD, and Blu-ray disc servers. The synchronization tasks run over TCP/IP using SSH to ensure secure communications. Synchronization compresses the differential blocks from changed files and can be configured to use customizable bandwidth to reduce the utilization of the scarce network bandwidth. Replicated data retains the same file/folder-level security.

BENEFIT: Data replication to another network attached storage server.

FEATURE:The system includes local tape backup/restore software that supports full/incremental backups of selected folders, flexible backup schedules and original/alternative restoration. It also features comprehensive backup/restore progress information and detailed summary logs. Tape backup has the option to include ACL security setting when backing up and restoring data. System settings such as user database and quota settings and network shares may also be backed up. It also provides for file- and folder-level selection for tape restoration of CD, DVD, and Blu-ray disc media.

BENEFIT: Full or incremental backup for data protection.

FEATURE:Snapshots are point-in-time copies of the file-system. When creating a snapshot, the file-system is momentarily frozen and creates a record of all changes. It can back up several terabytes of disc media data in less than a second. Since files are not modified during snapshot creation, data integrity is maintained. Because of their speed, Snapshots solve the problems of long backup windows and open files commonly associated with tape backup. Snapshot keeps track of file changes in blocks, so even frequent backups can require little or disk space. Backed up data is maintained online and clients can access previous versions of their files through special read-only snap folders.

BENEFIT: Enables quick state capture.

FEATURE: The NetServ comes with the ability to configure its hard drive storage as RAID 0, 1 and 5 arrays for disc media servers. RAID 0 increases data access speed and enables the creation of a maximum sized data volume. RAID 1 mirrors one hard drive disk to another. RAID 5 is for systems with three or more disk drives. The data is spread across all the drives in the RAID array such that the loss of any drive will not result in the loss of data or up time. RAID 6 extends RAID 5 by adding an additional parity block. With RAID 10 the drives are striped for performance and all striped drives are duplicated for fault tolerance. RAID features include:

• Integrated hardware RAID controller
• Supports 4 concurrent RAID sets
• Cross-platform Journaling File System
• User disk quotas supported

BENEFIT: Robust data protection.

FEATURE:The system includes local tape backup/restore software that supports full/incremental backups of selected folders, flexible backup schedules and original/alternative restoration. It also features comprehensive backup/restore progress information and detailed summary logs. Tape backup has the option to include ACL security setting when backing up and restoring data. System settings such as user database and quota settings and network shares may also be backed up. It also provides for file- and folder-level selection for tape restoration of CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc data.

BENEFIT: Full or incremental backup for data protection.

FEATURE:In the unlikely event of a disc drive failure, a drive that has been designated as a hot-spare will automatically be swapped into the RAID array replacing the defective drive. The system will automatically rebuild the RAID array on the new drive. This all happens without user intervention. You can also increase the capacity of a RAID group or replace a defective drive with hot swappable drives and hot capacity expansion - without shutting down or restarting the NetServ disc media server.

BENEFIT: Keeps data accessible during potential disc drive failures.

FEATURE:Supports UPS with smart signaling.

BENEFIT: Reduces downtime.
