vSERV™: Getting the most from your server storage

vSERV™ is breakthrough technology that transforms server storage, and any attached NAS devices, into a manageable pool of shared storage. All user data spread across multiple servers and NAS devices is merged into a single directory structure, automatically and transparently.

True aggregation remedies the most troublesome challenges inherent to systems comprised of isolated storage points

Utilization — Even utilization across all storage devices
Growth — Grows storage seamlessly
Costs — Reduces IT time & improves overall utilization

By collecting all directory information from all servers and NAS resources and presenting it as a single file-system, vSERV:

Enables seamless growth — Add storage devices and they become part of the storage pool and are immediately available to users
Allows easy segmentation of total resources — Create work groups and allocate storage with a few clicks of the mouse
Eliminates the myriad of share points — One share point for each work group
Increases system dependability — Eliminates single points of failure
Improves storage utilization — Move files and reallocate resources to ensure the most efficient use of all storage devices
Centralizes administration — All devices are configured and allocated from the vSERV configuration screens
Reduces administrative workload — Reduces or eliminates the need for moving files, client administration, setup, data allocation, and planning
Drives down TCO — Reducing IT management time and improving utilization of resources extends the storage budget

Note: vServ is the base application, with additional module applications needing it to run. For example, to run the vSERV NAS Module you will need to install vServ first and then the vSERV NAS Module.
