Overview
UFS Explorer Network RAID allows service centers to use internal network resources to handle data recovery requests. There may be several reasons for this: insufficient number of standard ports for connecting disks, use of specific additional equipment with a limited number of ports for each workstation, use of a more powerful remote workstation or a remote station with a different OS.
When working in modern local networks with a data transfer speed of 10Gbit/sec, work with network resources is performed with minimal delays: almost the same as through a local SAS HBA. at the same time, even in historical networks with a transmission speed of 1 Gbit/sec, work is still quite comfortable.
The program can communicate with another copy of the program on another workstation using the standard iSCSI protocol or its own UDP-based protocol with lower delays. Using the standard iSCSI protocol allows other clients to connect to the application. Thus, for example, you can connect a volume collected by the program as a local SCSI disk using, for example, Windows iSCSI Initiator. In addition, the software can communicate with some products of other vendors, such as DeepSpar DDI.
Along with local and remote disks, the program works with disk images or virtual disks as efficiently as with original disks. Therefore, if you have disk images, it is recommended to use them. Due to the wide support of various formats, the program allows you to use images created by other (third-party) software.
Just like any other UFS Explorer software, this software edition automatically constructs data volumes both from individual disks and from RAID disk sets. Some technologies, such as Drobo BeyondRAID or LVM Thin Provisioning, require explicit assembly of volumes with the help of special tools available in the program. Additional tools also allow you to assemble volumes that for some reason are not assembled automatically. Once the volume becomes available, the program automatically provides access to the files on it, without any scanning or analysis, just like the OS does. If you need to search for lost data or reconstruct the volume structure after damage, the software supports several types of quick and deep analysis (scanning) to search for lost data.
To restore lost data and copy found files, you need to license only a copy of the program used to copy.
