Abstract
This IBM Redbook describes how to integrate, install, and configure the very latest IBM TotalStorage Network Attached Storage 100, 200, and 300 in heterogeneous environments. Concrete scenarios for IBM DB2 UDB, Lotus Domino Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Oracle, and SAS illustrate the integration process for storage solutions.
The NAS 100, 200, and 300 are innovative Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliances that connect clients and servers on an IP network to storage. Their value is enhanced by their support of multiple protocols, allowing seamless file sharing across dissimilar platforms. They provide excellent Microsoft Windows performance that enhances client productivity while simultaneously protecting a customer's data and business continuity. This book shows how to integrate the units and explains how a company may benefit by utilizing these innovative solutions.
This easy-to-follow guide describes and explains NAS installation, ease-of-use, remote management, Microsoft Active Directory integration, expansion capabilities, high availability (clustering), and backup and recovery techniques. Other concepts, such as cross platform storage and methodologies for common data sharing for Linux/UNIX and Windows NT/2000 environments, are also covered.
