For example, Web servers, cache servers and file servers can be implemented as general-purpose computers with the appropriate software or as network appliances, which are computers dedicated to a single function and cannot do anything , the leader in advanced networked storage solutions, today announced the completion of interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. testing between Cloverleaf's Intelligent Storage Networking(TM) (iSN(TM)) system and the NetApp(R) FAS200, FAS3000, and FAS900 unified storage The capability of combining different data formats such as files, folders, contacts and e-mail messages into collections that can be viewed and manipulated as one group.
