metaSAN enables multiple users to share access to common data files
in workgroups where heavy bandwidth requirements are the norm. With
metaSAN, film and video editors, digital artists, healthcare
specialists, and corporate users can simultaneously access a common
pool of data files such as video clips, databases, satellite
imagery, medical archives, or CAD files - as easily and
transparently as if the content was stored on their local drive.

Available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, metaSAN innovates with
true file sharing, native OS file system and access rights
management, virtualization for Avid? File Sequence Optimizer?
dynamic metadata master arbitration model, and seamless integration
with LAN networks. These innovations ensure a perfectly transparent
and reliable networked shared storage that can fuel the most
creative environments in addition to greatly reducing the cost of
managing mission-critical resources.

metaSAN's user-friendly file-level sharing capability offers far
more flexibility than the more common volume-level based sharing
that imposes serious workflow restrictions.

With metaSAN, you manage accesses to your shared storage the same
way you normally would for any other local drive. There is no need
for special disk formatting or management utilities, or for
creating or managing special user accounts. Network administrators
simply use standard OS account management tools to grant or deny
access to the individual users. For those in mission-critical
environment, metaSAN's dynamic metadata master arbitration model
provides the failover mechanism that ensures 24/7 operations by
eliminating the risks of downtime associated with conventional
metadata controller-based architecture.

metaSAN can seamlessly integrate SAN and LAN networks. With the
addition of MetaLAN, a multi-point gateway software that connects
your enterprise LAN with your high-speed SAN, your entire facility
can now benefit from many unique SAN advantages.

metaSAN represents a major shift from traditional SAN management
software. You can choose the network topology that best suits your
needs - SAN for bandwidth and real scalability, LAN for lower cost
and ease of deployment, or a combination of both! You then choose
the building blocks that deliver the performance and scalability
you need - Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and even iSCSI. metaSAN
supports the leading vendors of storage and networking technology
including Atto, ADTX, Brocade, Ciprico/Huge Systems, D-Link, IBM,
Emulex, LSI, Qlogic, Seagate, and Xyratex.
