• Integrated 10/100 Ethernet with support for optional Gigabit Ethernet

Benefits at a Glance:

• Storage Consolidation - Allows the customer to take advantage of fewer servers to manage in the computing environment for the purpose of file serving. The idea is that less servers to manage will let the customer take advantage of a strategy that will allow for less administrative staff and management of the resources.
• Multi-protocol support - With concurrent support for CIFS, NFS, NCP (Novell) and AppleTalk the b2000 can be the central source for multi-protocol file serving. This saves management time and money as well as reduces the possible points of failure in the networking infrastructure.
• Storage Virtualization - Makes it possible for the customer to grow the size of the file share volumes without having to interrupt the users access to the information. Supported by the addition of hot plug hard drives the b2000 is built to handle the on-line and exponential growth required in advanced data centers.
