Features and Benefits
File Server
Independence
The StorPoint CD server is connected as a station in a Token Ring network. To
the network StorPoint CD acts as a file server. This means that it is independent
of other file servers, i.e. the communication takes place directly between the
network client and your StorPoint CD. This results in high performance,
reliability and independence of other equipment.
Plug and Play The file server independent approach makes the installation quick and
convenient. In most environments, the physical connection to the network is the
only installation required prior to starting work with your StorPoint CD server.
No software needs to be installed on clients or file servers. Your computer will
see StorPoint CD as another network file server, and you access it using the
standard commands used in your network operating system.
