DXi4500 Concepts

This chapter provides detailed explanations for several DXi4500

concepts such as:

•

Data Storage Presentation

•

Data Deduplication Policy

•

Data Replication

•

Recovering Data

•

Network Segmentation

Data Storage Presentation

The DXi4500 can present itself to your host computers in two ways:

•

Network Attached Storage (NAS)

•

OpenStorage (OST)

Network Attached

Storage (NAS)

The DXi4500 can present itself to your host computers as Network

Attached Storage (NAS). A NAS share can be configured on the DXi4500

so it can be used as a NAS appliance for backup purposes.
