Product Overview
The Lattus A10 Access Node is the gateway between your applications
and the Lattus object storage. The Lattus A10 Access Node leverages
industry-standard NAS protocols (CIFS and NFS) without rewriting
applications to utilize the proprietary HTTP/REST API.
Using the Lattus A10 GUI, you will configure Lattus Object Storage
Policies that associate your NFS and CIFS shares with namespaces in the
Lattus object storage. Each NFS and CIFS share configured on your
Lattus A10 Access Node should be associated with a single namespace,
and each namespace should only be used for a single NFS or CIFS share.
