Pre-Installed Software
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2008 NAS Optimized Operating System with iSCSI Target support and enhanced management tools.
Microsoft Services for Network File System (NFS) Services for Network File System (NFS) is a set of services that integrates with Windows Server 2003 to allow UNIX-based NFS clients to access resources on Windows Storage Servers without having to explicitly sign on to the Windows domain.
Microsoft Backup Microsoft Backup enables administrators to backup files to a local tape drive.
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target Microsoft iSCSI Software Target option enables you to implement an iSCSI SAN with storage provisioning and management capabilities. Managed via the Microsoft Management Console, administrator’s can create and manage iSCSI targets and iSCSI virtual disks, as well as schedule, export, and locally mount snapshots for use in backup and recovery operations.  Wizards are provided to facilitate these features.
Double-Take® (Option) Double-Take's data replication technology combines continuous real-time backup and automatic failover capabilities for disaster recovery, high availability, and centralized backup. Double-Take is required for replication of Microsoft iSCSI Software Targets.
