Linux Btrfs NAS Server
Rockstor Traditional NAS Server is the recommended solution if you need a robust NAS server without bells and whistles. It allows you to access centralized storage over the network (NAS). While Linux has become the best platform for many things, with great filesystems, it has until recently lacked one like NetApp’s WAFL or Sun’s ZFS. BTRFS is rapidly filling that void by offering many great features.
With Rockstor as your NAS Server, you can:
- Use the capabilities and amazing feature-set of BTRFS without being a seasoned Linux professional.
- Realize the full potential of BTRFS as a NAS file-system.
- Enjoy the benefits of BTRFS while easily managing everything from Rockstor’s Web-User Interface.
SMB Private Cloud Btrfs NAS Server
Rockstor Small and Midsize Business (SMB) Cloud Server is the recommended solution for organizations with several hundred Terabytes of capacity requirement. Your organization may rely on expensive public cloud storage and also store a lot of data locally causing you to switch between local and cloud and ultimately resulting in inefficiency and loss of productivity.
With Rockstor as your Cloud Server, you can:
- Build your Private Cloud Storage and empower your organization with a hybrid workflow leveraging the best of both public and private cloud storage.
