FILE SERVING
DNF has an extensive selection of NAS systems/file servers for any environment, be it a Solaris-based enterprise project, a Windows environment, or an Apple Macintosh network. Mixed read/write performance with lower emphasis on I/O makes this a good target for affordable Serial ATA storage, but we have numerous options for intensive use, using SCSI RAID, TCP/IP offload engines, and multi-port network interface cards. Our product menu gives the more comprehensive listing of network attached storage solutions, but look below for some highlights. Contact us directly for a custom configuration, or if you would like any additional information!
For entry-level file serving, this is the way to go. With capacities up to 750GB in RAID 5 configuration, hot-swappable drives, and a Xeon processor, it brings enterprise-grade features to a departmental budget.
The FlexStor-NAS 1200 is a high-availability NAS server, with 10,000RPM OS disks on a specially-configured mirrored array, separate from the 12-bay storage array. Space is also set aside for two cold drive spares, yielding 3TB internally that can expand to over 10TB with storage subsystem upgrades.
This ultra-high capacity file server features 24 drive bays and can yield up to 6TB internally, or more with an attached storage subsystem. Triple-redundant 950W power supplies ensure maximum uptime, and the high drive-count allows flexible RAID array configurations.

Input an estimate of the amount of storage you will need. Your available storage capacity will decrease depending on the RAID level you choose. Do not include hot spares in your raw storage calculation.
Input the amount of data you currently have in use. This will be used to generate an estimate on the number of disks you will need for this amount of available storage, after accounting for the RAID level.
