Overview
Thank you for choosing the ALLNET IP Storage Server. The ALLNET IP storage is an
easy-to-use storage server that allows a dedicated approach to storing and
distributing data on a network. Data reliability is ensured with RAID features that

allowing ALLNET IP storage to take over file management functions, increase
application and data sharing and provide faster data response. The ALLNET IP
storage offers data mobility with a disk roaming feature that lets you swap working
hard drives for use in other ALLNET IP storage, securing the continuity of data in
the event of hardware failure. The ALLNET IP storage allows data consolidation and
sharing between Windows (SMB/CIFS), UNIX/Linux, and Apple OS X environments.
The ALLNET IP storage’s user-friendly GUI supports multiple Languages.
