In order to evaluate free product, licensed for 2TB of storage simply register and download at our portal and get up to 10 versions at a time! Minimum Hardware Requirements: • x86 - compatible PC • 1 GByte RAM • CPU (1 GHz or faster are recommended) • HDD (SATA, SAS, SCSI, ATA) / iSCSI Storage • Network Interface Card Open-E DSS V6 Lite Features GUI ADMINISTRATION New & Improved! Powerful and Intuitive Web-based User Interface The web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the Open-E Data Storage Software V6 (DSS V6 Lite) software makes remote management of the storage device a simple task. By using a web-browser, the DSS can be easily managed from anywhere within the network. Secured Administration Access Open-E’s DSS V6 Lite is accessed and configured through a web-based, password-protected GUI over Secured Socket Layer (SSL) administration access. Console Tool Open-E’s DSS V6 Lite can be managed by using the console tool. For security reasons some advanced and critical administrator tasks like “removing and restoring volumes” and “checking and repairing the file system”, can only be managed from the console. Through the console tool, an administrator monitors the status of the network and memory usage, install drivers and hardware and perform other tasks. Remote Access of Console Tool The Open-E DSS V6 Lite supports remote access of the console tool enabling management of the server from anywhere in the network. Tuning Tools The performance of the DSS V6 Lite server can be increased by changing the settings of disk, network, file system or network using “Tuning Tools”. Multiple Management Levels The Open-E DSS V6 Lite supports three levels of administrative rights: Full Access, Maintenance and Administration. Update System (Local or Internet) Update downtime is reduced with the new Update System feature making it possible to reboot from the old system. NETWORK MANAGEMENT Standard Network Gateway Support The Open-E DSS V6 Lite can be used with structured networks in business environments and has an optional data access via Intranet or Internet. DHCP Client Assigning IP addresses in a network can be centrally managed and automated through using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Proxy Settings The Open-E software allows the configuration of the Proxy Server for Internet connections. IP-Sec The Open-E DSS V6 Lite supports the Secure Internet Protocol (IPsec). This protocol secures data transmitted across a network, preventing confidential and personal information being intercepted or modified. STORAGE MANAGEMENT Data Replication The Open-E DSS V6 Lite Data Replication feature periodically takes a point-in-time snapshot of data and copies the changes to a target storage system. New & Improved! SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation Support for persistent reservation commands. This enables support for Windows 2008 and Windows Cluster. New & Improved! Sys check Enables you to check the performance of your system. Hardware and Software iSCSI Initiator Open-E DSS V6 Lite supports hardware iSCSI Initiators and has a software iSCSI Initiator for easily expanding the storage capacity of the NAS server. New units and logical volumes can be added by connecting an iSCSI storage system to the NAS server. Software RAID Degraded Mode The DSS V6 Lite software boasts a means for creating a RAID when a Hard Disk Drives (HDD) is missing or broken. E-mail Notification for RAID Issues Email alerts are sent to the system administrator in case of issues with the RAID through the DSS software. Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) Support The DSS V6 Lite software includes S.M.A.R.T support for detecting and reporting the status of the Hard Disk Drives (HDD) anticipated on failures. E-mail Notification for S.M.A.R.T. Email alerts are sent to the system administrator in case of HDD problems through the DSS V6 Lite software. Snapshot Snapshot is an immediate point-in-time image of the logical volume. The snapshot image can be used for both consistent and temporary backup, while users still have uninterrupted and complete access to the LV. Files can be recovered from previous snapshots should a file be accidentally deleted or modified. Multiple Snapshots with Scheduling Function The Open-E DSS V6 Lite supports “Multiple Snapshot with Scheduling” to create snapshots at predefined points in time (e.g. automatically every hour). Multiple Logical Volume & Groups Logical volume groups allow storage administrators to create logical storage pools that span multiple physical disk drives. With its support of multiple logical volume groups, the Open-E DSS V6 Lite makes it easier to meet the changing needs of users and applications while making the maximum use of available physical disk space. Online Logical Volume Expansion Online logical volume expansion allows administrators to change the size of storage volumes as needed without having to restart the application, recreate the volume, and backup and restore data to the volume. Support for Online Capacity Expansion RAID controllers’ expansion capability supports the increase of size of existing units without removing data. MONITORING Hardware Monitoring Open-E DSS V6 Lite monitors hardware status such as temperature, voltage and fan speed provided by the motherboard's sensors. Email Notification In the event of a technical failure of the storage device, administrators are alerted by Email. Log Function The Open-E log file is an effective instrument in analyzing and solving technical issues. SPECIFIC NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE (NAS) FUNCTIONALITY File System with Journaling Support Journaling support makes the file system more reliable and allows easier, faster recovery from unexpected shutdowns. Antivirus (server's shares scanning) Open-E DSS V6 Lite has an integrated Antivirus software tool for scanning shares on viruses at predefined points in time. The Virus Definition Database can be updated and is stored on the NAS device. Antivirus (online scanning) The Data Storage Software V6 Lite also supports online scanning of files transferred via the SMB and FTP protocol. USB Storage Support for Dynamic Disk USB Units connected to DSS V6 Lite can be used as a Dynamic Units – which can be easily used for local backups. Supported Network Clients and Network File Protocol Open-E DSS V6 Lite supports the file based protocols CIFS (Common Internet File System)/SMB, NFS (Network File System), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), FTPS and Apple Talk enabling Windows, Linux, Unix and Macintosh clients to share data on the same server. External Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) The Open-E DSS V6 Lite supports external LDAP enabling administrators to configure and manage multiple DSS V6 Lite’s from one single point (either an Open-E software with a LDAP database or any other LDAP server). SPECIFIC iSCSI FUNCTIONALITY Multiple Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocols (CHAP) per Target In Open-E DSS V6 Lite, CHAP users can be assigned to a specific iSCSI target. CHAP is an authentication schema, managed by user name and password, to validate the identity of users to manage the access rights of users to targets. MPIO Support The Open-E DSS V6 Lite allows set multiple connections to one target increasing performance and reliability. BACKUP FUNCTIONALIY Task Mechanism with Scheduling Management of all the tasks is much easier and convenient using the unified task mechanism with scheduling for data and volume replication, backup and snapshot. Tasks are scheduled as to when to activate and may have many schedules. Virtual Tapes Configure tape drive emulation on share or Dynamic Volume (e.g. dynamically attached hard drive) backup for tape drives is the same as backup on virtual tapes. Internal Database Maintain all backup files including backup history. Tape Retention Time Set schedule for tapes to be rewritten for new backup. OTHER SWAP Support SWAP is used to store memory areas on hard drives instead of Random Access Memory (RAM). The DSS V6 Lite software dumps memory to SWAP in case of additional memory is need (e.g. repairing the file system after a degraded RAID). Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Panel Support Open-E DSS V6 Lite supports single, dual, multiple or pyramid LCD display configuration. Superuser Function A “Superuser” account has unrestricted access to all the files and volumes and is an especially helpful feature when certain directories or files are no longer accessible. Local Backup on Dynamic Units Through the DSS V6 Lite, a local HDD or a USB drive can be defined as a Dynamic Unit and acts like a normal tape drive which can backup the NAS server and be removed without shutting down the server. Cross Data Synchronization Open-E DSS V6 Lite synchronize files and directories from one NAS server to another. Disaster recovery or Disk-to-Disk backup synchronization utilizes block-based data transfer that minimizes network traffic. DSS V6 Lite can synchronize data in both directions: the DSS V6 Lite can be the source and destination of files at the same time, allowing to cross-backup data on several servers. Target Password Support Open-E DSS V6 Lite allows set up password for iSCSI targets to protect them from unauthorized access. Read Only Logical Unit Number (LUN) This function allows the user to set the LUN as a read-only device (for iSCSI Target only).
