Thread: Well Operating System for NAS.

Hi, I have a little office with 4 nodes, and I am designing to construct a NAS, thus for that I am bewildered, which running machine do I utilize to set up on the server and which single in the customer machine, thus the server will be pushing HD message to entire the 4 machine, and we can operate the information backup on the 1 machine. I am desinging to have XBMC to push out to my mobile twist remotely. So which running system will be better match for these environment. Need advice.

Actually I would say, I have view some individual utilize such a concept as formulating meshwork, and actually it is identical better to view, and I would like to suggested you that you can set up the windows 7 on your server machine, as in this you’ll get the good affirms for sharing the message over meshwork. And if you concern about the protection then my suggestion is to set up Linux at the server. And on the rest of the machine you can put any of the running machine, I would suggest windows XP, or 7 is also better.

Hey I am not obtaining what do you mean by pushing? Am I assume it is relating the broadcasting, or easy setting up the NAS? If NAS you will have to decide among FTP and NFS, since if you choose the FTP you won’t be capable to move the media files or I mean to say the large size files. And if you are comfortable with the Linux than I would give you to mean that only on each of the computer, instead you can have the OS from windows itself.

I would like to give you that you should set up The Open-E Data Storage Software V6 (DSS V6) is a mingled file and stop preserve directional running system (OS) that gives meshwork Attached Storage NAS, and Fiber Channel Storage Area meshwork operation. With its select function, protection, and scalability you can have a good meshwork surroundings for your office, extra it can also gives affirms a wide variety of hardware RAID platforms.

View as I watch the individual utilize the NAS, ever utilize to apply Linux distro only, I would give you to set up the linux running machine only, where you’ll get the choice for protection, for back up and synchronization. The troubles is regarding the multimedia message only, and as you have observed about the XBMC, it is the better answer, this type of third party software accomplishes the main require, that we can simple get in the windows running system.
