Overview:

The perfect collaboration storage solution for small workgroups is here. Just because you have a limited number of users, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise performance, capabilities, or compatibility.

The Perfect Fit For Small Workgroups

Just because you have a limited number of collaborators on your project doesn’t mean you have to settle for limited performance. Built for simultaneous access for up to seven users, StorNext Pro Foundation combines proven StorNext collaboration and workflow support with a new price point that makes it more accessible than ever. StorNext Pro Foundation is designed to provide all the performance you expect from a StorNext Pro Solution, ideally sized for organizations like yours.

The Power Of Stornext 5 Is Built In

StorNext Pro Foundation is fully integrated around StorNext 5 file system software and comes in either 48TB or 96TB configurations. Deadlines are not flexible and you can’t afford to miss one. That’s why StorNext Pro Foundation includes redundant components for continuous operation. But StorNext Pro Foundation is not just about performance and reliability; with StorNext Storage Manager, files can move automatically based on policies you set to an optional tape-based StorNext AEL Archives to extend capacity.

Making All The Right Connections

Like all StorNext Pro Solutions, StorNext Pro Foundation can support Mac OS X, Windows and Linux clients. Xsan clients can connect directly and two Windows or Linux client licenses are included. Depending on workflow, StorNext Pro Foundation can support five (48TB systems) or seven (96TB systems) concurrent users*. Also, StorNext Pro Foundation includes StorNext Connect, a single console for storage environment monitoring and management. StorNext Connect allows you to deploy and update clients, and monitor capacity and bandwidth usage system wide.
