24. Napp-it Pro
24.1 Differences napp-it Free vs napp-it Pro
Napp-it is a web-based management interface to build a NAS/SAN on top of an enterprise class default
Operating System installation like Oracle Solaris or the free Solaris forks like OmniOS or OpenIndiana.
You can install napp-it also on Linux but the Linux release is restricted to ZFS, Snap- and Jobmanagement
while the Solarish (Oracle Solaris and the free forks) edition offers enterprise grade features.
napp-it Free
Is a ZFS storage server appliance with the most needed functions. As an enduser you can download and install
napp-it Free and use it at home or within your company or organisation without a capacity or time limit even
commercially. The Free edition includes all functions to run a NAS/SAN with many enterprise features. There
are no restrictions regarding OS features and it comes with all basic features to run and manage a ZFS Storage
System in a SoHo, lab, office or school environment. Napp-it is not an OpenSource application but all sources
are open (Perl) and you are allowed to edit or extend the functionality of napp-it. You are not allowed to distri-
bute napp-it outside your home, office or organisation and you are not allowed to remove license restrictions.
If you create your own add-ons or extensions you can distribute your menus and scripts but without napp-it
itself example with an online installer.
If you initially install napp-it Free it comes with a 30 day evalkey to evaluate the Pro features that are
available in the free edition. Some features require an update to a newer Pro edition. Such updates are not
possible with a Free edition. Napp-it Free is updated only from time to time or to fix severe bugs.
After the eval period, functionality is automatically reduced to the free features.
napp-it Pro
extends the functionality of napp-it Free. It is the version for professional users. It offers:
- Support with immediate access to bugfixes, newer Pro and developer editions with online update/downgrade
of last 5 releases. With a napp-it complete extension you have email support for setup problems.
- Notable improved GUI performance, background agents for system parameters
You can enable/ disable background acceleration in toplevel menu „acc“ nearby logout
- Edit menu with the option to display the actions of a menu, internal napp-it values and the menu actions.
- Clone menu (create, promote, destroy, care about clones in menu snaps and filesystems)
- Snap mass delete features: mass destroy as a background task (no timeout with many snaps)
- Snap mass delete features: keep at least one snap per day/week/month
If you want to install napp-it on behalf of someone or if you want to bundle napp-it with hardware either
under the napp-it brand or as an OEM backend with your own logos and menus or basic messages, you need
always a Pro license with the allowance of bundling. This allowance is included when you order a Pro license
with a bundling remark when you request a quotation at http://napp-it.org/extensions/quotation_en.html
For larger quantities or distribution ask for conditions.
Napp-it Pro is the mandatory base of additional extensions like ACL/user management, monitoring or remote
replication and requires a nonfree license key, either as a subscription or perpetual.
napp-it Pro Complete
For professional users there is napp-it Pro complete with all functions. For special single functions you can
aquire the extensions separately. Appliance functions like Appliance Maps require the complete edition.
