Description
The ATTO Technology Xtend SAN iSCSI Initiator for 32 and 64 bit Mac systems enables Mac OS X users to have a reliable, secure, highly interoperable connection to standard iSCSI storage. Xtend SAN is fully supported and updated as new versions of Mac OS X are released so downtime is never an issue. iSCSI allows users to take advantage of their Ethernet expertise and infrastructure while reaping the benefits of network attached storage.
iSCSI is an important enabler for key applications including collaborative digital video/audio workflows, laptop connectivity to SANs and remote backups. With iSCSI, small businesses and workgroups can take full advantage of a SAN environment, even with limited IT budgets and resources. Xtend SAN has been rigorously tested against products from leading iSCSI manufacturers, ensuring a high degree of interoperability.
The simplicity of iSCSI makes it the ideal storage networking protocol for Mac OS X users who are accustomed to the legendary ease-of-use of Mac OS X, as even non-technical users can set-up and manage a server with just a few mouse clicks. Xtend SAN further lessens the effort associated with the implementation of an iSCSI SAN by providing features designed with ease-of-use in mind. Xtend SAN provides a user interface that reflects the elegance and simplicity Mac OS X users have come to expect.
