With
metaSAN, you manage accesses to your shared storage the same way you
normally would for any other local drive. There is no need for special
disk formatting or management utilities, or for creating or managing
special user accounts. Network administrators simply use standard OS
account management tools to grant or deny access to the individual
users. For those in mission-critical environment, metaSAN's dynamic
metadata master arbitration model provides the failover mechanism that
ensures 24/7 operations by eliminating the risks of downtime associated
with conventional metadata controller-based architecture.
metaSAN
can seamlessly integrate SAN and LAN networks. With the addition of
metaLAN, a multi-point gateway software that connects your enterprise
LAN with your high-speed SAN, your entire facility can now benefit from
many unique SAN advantages.
metaSAN represents a major shift
from traditional SAN management software. You can choose the network
topology that best suits your needs - SAN for bandwidth and real
scalability, LAN for lower cost and ease of deployment, or a
combination of both! You then choose the building blocks that deliver
the performance and scalability you need - Fibre Channel, Gigabit
Ethernet, and even iSCSI. metaSAN supports the leading vendors of
storage and networking technology including Atto, ADTX, Brocade,
Ciprico, D-Link, IBM, Infortrend, Emulex, LSI, Proavio, Qlogic,
Seagate, HDDisk and Xyratex.
The Tiger Technology software
turns these off-the-shelf storage and networking components into a
high-performance workgroup. metaSAN is fully transparent and compatible
with standard applications, Adobe Production Studio and Apple Final Cut
Pro. In addition, metaSAN enables efficient collaboration among
multiple users of AvidŽ editing software on the same volume.
