Reason to introduce file
server |
|
|
|
| Hard disks break easily. |
|
|
|
Have you ever
encountered disk trouble? If not, you are the lucky
few.
The disk that is used to save important data, breaks
very often.
The programs may be restorable but once the
data is gone,
that's
the
end.
|
|
| Files break easily too. |
|
|
|
Files get corrupted
often.
And get mistakenly
deleted
off
too.
|
|
| A file server is a safe for
files. |
|
|
|
If you keep it in a
file server, it's safe.
It's sturdy like a safe and it will
protect your files from all sorts of problems.
That's why:
|
|
| • To protect it from disk crashes, RAID
structuring like disk mirroring is done. |
|
|
|
By always writing
on 2 disks, it protects files just in case one of them
crashes.
* "Radish" supports
software "RAID and IDE-RAID/SCSI-RAID systems. |
|
| • Creates backups to cope with any file
troubles. |
|
|
|
Constant backing up
is done to cope with "Sudden power off during file writing",
"Client freezing", "Mistakenly deleting files, or overwriting"
etc.
Ideally, having multiple generation backups, backup to
a different computer or even to a different location is the
best.
* For "Radish" automatic backup
can be done in the internal disk and on a computer on the
network.
|
|
| • Using a UPS to prepare for sudden power
failures. |
|
|
|
Computers are very
weak towards sudden power failures.
Files and entire file
systems inside the disk are affected and files may not be
retrieved.
By connecting a UPS to the server, you can
prevent such kind of problems from occurring.
* "Radish" supports most of the
UPS products, so that proper shutdown can be done during a
power
failure.
|
|
|
|
|
File server is everyone's document
shelf. |
|
|
|
Another important aspect of a file server is
the sharing of files within a company, department etc.
Like
keeping documents in a shelf in the office, you can keep files in
the file server so that it documents, data can be shared within that
group.
| • Many ways of accessing it using
different kinds of computers. |
|
|
|
|
Shared documents
need to be accessible when needed from different kinds of
computers, from different offices, from home
etc.
* "Radish" can be accessed from
Windows/Macintosh/FTP clients. If you use FTP you can easily
access it via internet too.
|
|
| • Maintaining security |
|
|
|
Easy access has no
meaning if security is compromised. Security must be
maintained by accessible authorization settings, accessible
network range.
* For "Radish", user/group
authorization configurations, access restriction from a remote
network can be standardized for Windows/Macintosh/FTP
clients. |
|
| • Speedy recovering from
troubles |
|
|
|
| When utilizing a file server, a stoppage is critical. Even if it manages to safeguard files and data, without a speedy restoration process, it defeats the purpose of having a safe. |
| |
* "Radish" does synchronization (backup) process with it's backup server. So, it can easily switch over to it. Also, because the system is on a CD-ROM, startup is easily done even through other hardware.
We would appreciate it if you would purchase our "Radish" products. If not, take a few minutes to consider what we have explained here and think about getting a file server (it doesn't have to be ours....) once a few computers are connected. |
