Open-E DSS is a high-value storage software solution that will improve the performance of your storage and backup systems without the need to remove your legacy solutions that have provided you with sterling service - and will support new solutions introduced to meet your evolving storage needs. The wide range of environments that Open-E supports - Windows, Apple and VMware - makes it a natural choice for any organization that has a combination of platforms and wants to homogenise the management of their storage infrastructure.
As DSS is based on Linux it has a hugely stable platform that won't need rebooting at regular intervals, plus the intensive development gives DSS a major advantage over using free distributions that do not provide comparable levels of compatibility and support - and of course doesn't need additional server OS licences.
DSS is easy to install, with a Setup Wizard helping you with all the network and system settings for up to 128 CPUs - you get up fast, with built-in help, and can see immediate results. Tasks can be automatically scheduled for data, volume replication and snapshots, and Administrators can be notified automatically of any hardware or RAID issues, helping to improve the performance of your storage systems.
