Description:
Openfiler is a powerful, intuitive browser-based network
storage software distribution. Openfiler delivers file-based Network
Attached Storage and block-based Storage Area Networking in a single
framework.
Openfiler sits atop of CentOS Linux (which is derived from sources freely
provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux
vendor). It is distributed as a stand-alone Linux distribution. The entire
software stack interfaces with third-party software that is all open
source.
File-based networking protocols supported by Openfiler include: NFS,
SMB/CIFS, HTTP/WebDAV and FTP. Network directories supported by Openfiler
include NIS, LDAP (with support for SMB/CIFS encrypted passwords), Active
Directory (in native and mixed modes) and Hesiod. Authentication protocols
include Kerberos 5.
Openfiler includes support for volume-based partitioning, iSCSI (target
and initiator), scheduled snapshots, resource quota, and a single unified
interface for share management which makes allocating shares for various
network file-system protocols a breeze.
