The PolyServe File Serving solution is software that allows a customer to leverage the volume economics of industry-standard servers and storage and couple those components into a single high-performance file serving system. At its core, the PolyServe File Serving solution integrates Network File System (NFS) functionality or Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol with a true symmetric cluster file system, high-availability services and cluster and storage management capabilities. The product aggregates up to 16 low-cost Linux-based servers for high-performance, fault-tolerant file serving across a SAN. Shared data and management capabilities ease IT administration by enabling servers and storage to be managed as one.
