Browser-based network storage software distribution with powerful and intuitive features.
Built on top of CentOS Linux, Openfiler is derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor. The software is distributed as a stand-alone Linux distribution, and the entire software stack interfaces with third-party software that is all open source.
Openfiler supports various file-based networking protocols such as NFS, SMB/CIFS, HTTP/WebDAV, and FTP. Network directories supported by Openfiler include NIS, LDAP (with support for SMB/CIFS encrypted passwords), Active Directory (in native and mixed modes), and Hesiod. Authentication protocols include Kerberos 5.
Openfiler isn't just limited to standard file sharing. It also provides support for volume-based partitioning, iSCSI (target and initiator), scheduled snapshots, resource quota, and a single unified interface for share management. With this feature, allocating shares for various network file-system protocols is a breeze.
Overall, if you need a reliable and efficient network storage software with a variety of features and support, Openfiler is an excellent choice.
