Administrative Overview
Snap Servers are designed as flexible, low-maintenance network file servers
optimized for performance and efficiency. Snap Servers run the GuardianOS, built
to maximize file I/O throughput across multinetwork protocols. To this end, all
unnecessary system control and processing functions that are associated with a
general-purpose server have been removed.This guide applies to the following
Snap Servers and expansion arrays:
