NAS recommendation
I'm looking for a NAS that has 1) 2 network ports with a builtin switch 2) NFS support 3) 1TB of storage or so The 2 network connections are so we can set up a peer to peer connection with tool...
Sorry, I didn't see your last post asking for use case desccription. We have tools that generate data and then want to offload that data to an external system. These tools use various OS's, so that's why the NFS is a must. These tools must always be up, they can't go down even if the network goes down, their data can be buffered on the NAS until the network comes back up, but it can't be lost(or even worse the tool s/w crash due to a write error). This is why we're looking for something with 2 network ports, we can assign a subnet between tool and NAS to have a point to point connection independent of customer's network status.
We currently have a box that does all of this, but it was an in-house developed thing of taking an over the counter NAS and removing it's guts and putting it into our shell that has the 2 network connections and switch. Our 1st rev of this served us well, but the 2nd rev has had nothing but troubles and we don't have the in-house staffing anymore to come up with a rev 3.
Hope this helps.
