IQraid is a powerful, intuitive browser-based network storage.
IQraid delivers file-based Network Attached Storage and
block-based Storage Area Networking in a single framework.
IQraid uses the Linux distribution. The resulting appliance is
then managed and operated through a Web based GUI
(HTML/Java Script) exposed by the module. Multiple servers
can be managed via a single console.
File-based networking protocols supported by IQraid include: NFS, SMB/CIFS, HTTP/WebDAV and FTP. Network directories supported by IQraid include NIS, LDAP (with support for SMB/CIFS encrypted passwords), Active Directory (in native and mixed modes).
IQraid includes support for volume-based partitioning, iSCSI (target and initiator), scheduled snapshots, Remote Replication and Remote Mirroring, resource quota, and a single unified interface for share management which makes allocating shares for various network file-system protocols a breeze.
