In traditional model files (data) is shared from, a central data store, at LAN speeds (10/100/1000Mbit/sec or 10Gbit/sec) but with the Starnet SAN package (optional high speed fiber switch) clients can access direct data from any network node at 2GB or 4GB fiber channel speeds (4Gbit/sec). This allows a greater number of users much faster access to a much larger centralized data store. Redundancy features can be included, by adding a second switch, storage and Starnet Management (To support sites requiring the highest levels of data availability and security).
