Architecture and Technology
SoftNAS runs as a Linux®-based, 64-bit CentOS redistribution guest OS treated as a VM in a virtual server environment. In many use cases, storage devices are attached to the physical hardware layer, then presented to SoftNAS as a VM running Linux.
SoftNAS operates on an industry-standard Linux platform and uses a derivative of the Zettabyte File System® (ZFS), an open-source project originally released on OpenSolaris® by Sun Microsystems, Inc. This makes SoftNAS able to leverage many ZFS features and add layers of functionality for NAS solutions in virtual computing and cloud computing.
An Apache webserver provides robust, secure access along with Secure Shell® (SSH). Storage is accessible via TCP/IP protocols including NFS v3, NFS v4, SMB/CIFS (Microsoft® Windows File Shares), and iSCSI. Also integrated into SoftNAS is Apache NiFi technology, providing powerful and scalable directed graphs of data routing, transformation, and system mediation logic.
SoftNAS is packaged with a primary administration interface called SoftNAS StorageCenter™, which provides commercial-grade storage administration and management functionalities for businesses of all sizes.
Benefits of using Cloud NAS
360-degree Data Encryption™
Secure data access for regulatory compliance is necessary for nearly all financial applications. With SoftNAS 360-degree Data Encryption, data at rest is encrypted through open-source Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKs). LUKs is accepted as the standard for encryption of stored data. Data in flight is encrypted for CIFS and NFS file protocols. Data at rest even protects data when SoftNAS is powered down and disks are accessed directly.
No Downtime Guarantee
With the No Downtime Guarantee, SoftNAS delivers 99.999% storage uptime service-level agreement with a money-back guarantee. Learn more.
