Nasan File System

DataPlow Nasan clustered file system software utilizes scalable SANs and central file servers to facilitate high-performance file sharing. The SAN carries out high-speed data transfers, while the file servers ensure low-latency data consistency. Nasan is ideal for read-intensive workloads. Nasan clustered file sharing is an extension of traditional LAN file sharing. Deploying a Nasan cluster simply entails configuring LAN file sharing, installing Nasan file system software, and connecting computers and storage devices to the SAN. Upgrading an existing LAN, which already utilizes SAN-attached storage, merely involves installing software and connecting the SAN;downtime is minimal because all previously stored files remain unaffected by the upgrade. The following figure illustrates a Nasan cluster environment that contains one or more computers running DataPlow Nasan, SAN-attached storage devices, and at least one, non-dedicated file server.
