Software - FibreJet - Tech Specs
Work
together, like never before, by sharing terabytes of high-speed
storage.
FibreJet truly is your cross platform solution using the native Mac OSX journal protected HFS+ file system when operating in a Mac environment, and equally capable of supporting FAT32 or NTSF in a Windows environment, or both in a multi-platform multitasking environment. Designed for mission critical environments that require the highest level of performance and availability FibreJet is your SAN management solution.
With FibreJet's enterprise
class features such as multi-pathing, journal protection of the file system, and the lowest number of single points of failure period, all serve to make FibreJet the proven choice when it comes to storage consolidation. Support for virtually unlimited systems, across multiple operating systems all with concurrent read and write access to shared volumes allows FibreJet to support the most complex high-bandwidth environments the likes of which many software sharing solutions will not function in whatsoever. And since FibreJet demonstrates unmatched performance
while costing less than virtually all other solutions in the same environment, FibreJet excels in terms of the price-performance curve demanded by high performance computing in today’s workplace. |
