Features and Benefits
File Server
Independence
The StorPoint CD is connected as a node in an Ethernet or Token Ring
network. The StorPoint CD acts as a file server to the network. This means that
it is independent of other file servers, i.e. the communication takes place directly
between the network client and the StorPoint CD. This results in high
performance, reliability and independence of other equipment.
Plug and Play The file server independent approach makes the installation quick and
convenient. In most environments the physical connection to the network is the
only installation required prior to starting work with the StorPoint CD. No
software needs to be installed on clients or file servers. Your computer will see
the StorPoint CD as another network file server, and you access it using the
standard commands used in your network operating system.
Environments The StorPoint CD can be used simultaneously from NetWare, Windows, OS/2,
DOS, UNIX, Macintosh and Internet/intranet clients. It supports basic
messaging and network protocols:
