NanoNAS is an OS that converts a server into a Network Attached Storage. It allows users to access and store files across an enterprise network.
NanoNAS is a high-performing Network Attached Storage (NAS) server-based operating system that can be used to transform any basic computer into a dedicated HTTP, SMB/CIFS, or AFP file server. This compact 32-bit OS can be stored on a single floppy disk, making it one of the most space-efficient NAS systems around. It is specifically intended for use in low-security environments or in applications that require a large amount of inexpensive networked storage. With NanoNAS, a single server can export terabytes of networked storage and handle more than 50 networked users efficiently, even when running on modest hardware.
NanoNAS is a community workgroup server, and it does not support features such as user management, disk quotas, or joining domains. However, it scores top points in ease of setup, administration, and use. With its minimal hardware requirements, NanoNAS is optimized for maximum efficiency and is designed to be stable and reliable.
NanoNAS boots directly into RAM, where it is optimized to run on a modest 4MB RAM-Disk that ensures consistent and reliable OS operation. It offers a wide range of features and benefits, including ease of operation and administration, low maintenance costs, remote administration through TELNET, simple configuration menus, stability and reliability, SMP/CIFS and HTTP or AFP and HTTP exported file systems, BIOS independent fixed disk drive support, support for IDE (PATA) connected fixed disk drives, HTML-based status report pages, S.M.A.R.T. support, large partition and file support, low hardware requirements, and wide range of PCI hardware support (ISA and EISA not supported).
NanoNAS is built using readily available, inexpensive components, making it easy to build a high-capacity NAS server without breaking the bank. For example, one can take a standard desktop computer, install eight 400GB fixed disk drives, and have a fast, reliable 3.2 Terabyte NAS file server for a very reasonable cost. The NanoNAS CD-ROM contains all versions of the NanoNAS Operating System as well as the NanoNAS User Manual as a high-resolution hyperlinked PDF file. The contents of the NanoNAS CD-ROM can be viewed directly in Windows, and the interface will automatically launch if autorun is enabled.
