In heterogeneous computing environments, you can add nonMac OS X clients to your Xsan network using ADICs StorNext File System. Computers running StorNext File System on Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Linux, IRIX, Solaris, and AIX can access Xsan volumes directly over high-speed Fibre Channelwithout any modification. In addition, Mac and Xserve clients with Xsan can be added to an existing ADIC-based SAN environment.
ADICs StorNext Management Suite now supports Xsan deployments. This policy-based information lifecycle management (ILM) solution can be used in conjunction with ADICs Scalar line of tape libraries, offering a robust tape backup option for your Xsan volumes.
