1 About Storageflex 3945N NAS RAID
Overview
Storageflex Software
A Storageflex NAS Appliance enables cross-platform file sharing for Windows,
Macintosh and UNIX users. Storageflex server software is the engine that drives
your network attached storage appliance. Setup, configuration, and management
are accomplished through ApplianceView, the Java management tool.
Integrated Management
Storageflex provides simple management tools for locating and configuring
appliances. The management interface is available in a Java-based version that
installs directly on client computers from the ApplianceView CD-ROM.
ApplianceView, the Java user interface unifies access to all Storageflex enabled
appliances on a network. The ApplianceView management software installs on
the administrator's hard drive, and automatically detects new appliances as they
are added. The administrator configures basic network settings for each appliance
with a simple first-time setup wizard. Then, ApplianceView lets them view and
manage all Appliances on the Local Area Network (LAN). In addition,
ApplianceView can be configured to view and manage Appliances outside of the
LAN. ApplianceView is featured in this software release.
Appliance Management Software Compatibility
The ApplianceView management software installs on any computer running
Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT, or Windows XP.
Someone with Administrator rights must complete installation on Windows NT,
2000, or XP in some cases. Linux (x86 and PowerPC) and Mac OS X (10.1.2,
10.1.5, 10.2, 10.2.6, and 10.3) are supported as well.
