Feature New Functionality
Support for Multiple Ethernet
Ports
With the installation of an Ethernet card, the SnapServer
NAS N2000 supports up to 6 ethernet ports.
Write Cache Option Write cache can now be disabled on a volume, allowing
data to be written directly to the disk.
Note For this feature to be available, all drives on the
volume must support disabling of write cache.
SnapServers and expansions with IDE drives (SnapServer
4200, 4400, 4500, SD10), SnapServer 18000, and SD30
do not support disabling write cache.
Email Authentication and
Encryption Capability
SMTP Authentication and Secure Connection have been
added to the SnapServer email capabilities.
Wake-on-LAN SnapServer NAS N2000 supports Wake-on-LAN on
Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2.
Feature New Functionality
VSS/VDS Support for iSCSI VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) and VDS (Virtual
Disk Service) Hardware Providers have been added for
SnapServer iSCSI targets. VSS provides a mechanism by
which application-consistent snapshots of iSCSI targets
may be taken without performing full application (or
system) shutdown, for backup or other purposes. The VDS
feature allows a Windows administrator to natively
manage iSCSI storage, using any VDS compliant
management console application.
Password Policies The administrator can now set password policies for local
users to establish requirements, expiration dates, and
automatic lockout.
