VastNSS (Network Storage Server)

� � VastNSSTM is a near on-line storage system suitable for client-server
and LAN environments. VastNSS handles large image and data files for
applications such as: 


	� broadcast and multimedia  � prepress and print production  � medical
imaging  � engineering and architectural design  � graphic arts and visual
communications  � GIS and remote sensing  � off-site backup for disaster
recovery  	


� � VastNSS was designed to work in standard client-server environments.
VastNSS is compatible with any system that supports NFS. This includes
networks for UNIX workstations, Macintosh and DOS PCs. In these
environments, VastNSS appears as a network disk drive. And since the system
presents itself as a disk drive, this eliminates problems either with
operating systems or applications software. 

� � VastNSS starts at 100 GB capacity and expands to 1,500 GB. It consists
of a large disk cache and linked tape transports, each holding up to 50 GB
of information and images. 

� � VastNSS creates directory and indices for every piece of data on the
system using NOLOSTM (Near On-Line Operating System). This VastNSS
operating system organizes data sent to it. 

� � VastNSS integrates and automates handling data in a virtually seamless
fashion. To users, VastNSS provides: 


� transparent file management 
� the functionality of a disk dive 
� transparent file migration 
� continuous media monitoring 
� full backup and restore functionality
