SOLPHY POLSKA Product Presentation SOLPHY Home Storage

SOLPHY – who we are SOLPHY is an IT company founded by people with many years of experience in cooperation with army. Our aim is to create integrated and unified IT systems working as well in Your house infrastructure and it’s surroundings as in Your office. Looking at the lack of standards, configuration problems and incompatible of the existing devices – We have chosen a concept of building a series of Hi-Tech devices easy in configuration cooperating with each other. Our company creates IT solutions which increase company importance and make the customers life easier.

SOLPHY n Development Directions Our investments in R&D department allow Us to build devices in few dedicated series Home Line – Integrated IT infrastructure for Home use. Midrange Line – IT systems for small and medium offices. Ultimate Line – Dedicated IT platforms for Big Demanding Companies

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Main Futures - NAS storage Up To 20 SATA disk 1 Gb/s ethernet card TCP/IP communication protocol Web based administration panel Up To 10 TB disk space

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Allows to store up to 10 TB of data - Compact Discs (700 MB) - DVD Discs (4, 5 GB) - Compressed video files Compressed audio files Software ISO files Games ISO files 11. 500 1. 750 12. 000 25. 000 4. 000

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Features: - Data Security (files stored on Hard Disk Drives) High Reliability High Efficiency Centralization of Data Flexible in configuration Dedicated, User friendly interface Reduced background noise Small Size (It can be placed almost everywhere)

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Advantages: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. You can keep storage every where – It doesn’t need specialized room All Your files are stored in one place so You save time looking them No service needed – needs an IT service on minimal level RAID levels – failure of one disk doesn’t cause data loss Avoids files duplication No initiation costs Decreases cost of a workstations Low cost of data storage

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Cost of data storage (1 GB)

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Office Usage Creation of many files is nowadays office work attribute and almost all operation are now made or supported by computers. Because of the limited mass storage disk space System Administrators very often use divided architecture to manage files stored on many computers. Lots of user files are placed on their own local drives what causes a huge problem: failure of user’s HDD destroys all data stored on the drive – sometimes collected for many years. Our system manages all that problems, giving in the same time a new way of the efficient disk space usage with high speed rate of data access. We give You a huge data storage capacity in the price lower than a single disk drive if counted per office employee. You get an opportunity to use the disk space optimally: disk space is granted if needed and not limited by user’s disks capacity. In addition all the data is stored in one place from where it can be easy backup on a streamer (tape drives).

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Multimedia Use Thanks to its powerful performance and large storage space, Home Storage is perfectly suited for saving large video and music material in and uncompressed format (RAW) When archiving in Home Storage, access to the needed data is almost instantaneous and its management is extremely easy. By creating a cataloged structure and including access rights, users can optimize the file system to their needs. The flexibility of the device allows the user almost limitless possibilities of arranging their files and catalogs

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Home Use Because of the fact that the resources of the device can be used by many home PC’s, its low noise level and the very fast access to stored data, makes it perfectly suited as a central (archival) device to be utilized by home users. It allows the users to have a complete control over their files and clean up any mess that may exist with their CDs, DVDs and other files stored on the disk drives. With help of additional software creating a virtual CD/DVD drive we can simulate a usage of a real Compact and DVD disc, with an afford of just few mouse clicks. Advanced Technologies used on Home Storage make our favorite photos, music, movies, …. safe and endangered by CD/DVD scratches or a hard disk failure.

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Network Use Local and neighborhood networks are becoming more popular each year. Such networks allow large numbers of users to communicate with each other. Neighborhood networks provide users with cheap access to the Internet, which is becoming a primary information and communication vehicle. Thanks to the use of the FTP protocol (File Transfer Protocol) our device is perfectly suited as a storage repository for files downloaded by local network customers. Additionally, this also relives some network traffic, as users need only download file once; the files are then available for all users in Home Storage. By using NFS or SMB, access to those files is as easy, as they were on our local hard drives. The NFS (Network File System) protocol allows to use the device as a mass storage for emails or as a proxy server for web pages.

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Technologies - Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) - Logical Volume Manager (LVM) Reiser File System Management of the file and folders permissions based on Access Control List (ACL) - i. SCSI

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) RAID is an assembly of two or more hard disks that are employed in combination to increase data integrity, faulttolerance and/or performance. n RAID models Stripping – spreads out blocks of each file across multiple disk drives allowing a faster data access. Mirroring – provides redundancy by writing same data to a two drives. The performance tends to be faster on reads and slower on writes compared to a single drive. If one drive fails, all of the data is available on the other one.

SOLPHY- Home Storage n RAID Levels - Raid 0 – assembly of disks for greater efficiency capacity. - Raid 1 – assembly of disks for greater security. - Raid 5 – is a compromise between safety and redundancy of the disk space.

SHS- Logical Volume Manager n LVM (Logical Volume Manager) allows to manage the disk space on much higher level then ordinary disks and partitions management n It connects tree levels (Physical Volumes, Volumes Groups, Logical Volumes) comparing to the classic, two level approach (disk and partition). n Its varieties are used in Storage Devices companies like IBM, HP or DELL.

SHS- Logical Volume Manager Classic Approach

Classic Disk Management n Disadvantages You cannot create partitions bigger then the disk capacity. You have to predict future needs of the partitions. You cannot redistribute a disk space between partitions. Disk exchange is quite problematic.

SHS- Logical Volume Manager LVM approach

SHS- LVM Management n Advantages You can create volumes bigger then single drive capacity. You don’t have to predict the future disk usage (You can increase volumes dynamically) You can redistribute free space between volumes (You can shrink them dynamically) You can create and remove volumes ad hock. You can exchange the disks without any problems (You can dynamically migrate date from one volume to another )

SHS- Logical Volume Manager LVM Parts

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Users Authorization - Standalone – authorization is made by Home Storage operating system - Remote – user requests are managed by a remote authorization server.

SOLPHY- Home Storage n Network Protocols - SMB is a protocol used in Microsoft Windows operating systems. It allows any workstation with Windows 95/98/2000/2003/XP. . . or Apple to connect to storage resources - NFS is a protocol used in Linux/Unix operating systems - FTP is an internet protocol that can be used on any operating system (ftp client required).
