How do 360 Systems file servers differ from a desktop PC?
360 Systems file servers aren’t just desktop computers. Their hardware design, firmware, and software are designed for high throughput, elevated reliability, and rapid maintenance. One example of a file server recently qualified by 360 Systems is the Proliant® DL-380 manufactured by Compaq® Computer Corporation. What operating system does the file server use? Microsoft Windows® 2000 Server is employed. It provides high reliability, excellent recovery from system errors, and a fast start if re-booted. More trained technicians can support Windows 2000 Server than any other operating system. Are mirrored hard disks, or RAID arrays available? Even the smallest file server used with Ethernet Audio stores audio data on (at least) a mirrored two-disk array. The failure of a single drive has a minimal effect on system performance. When a greater storage is needed, a multiple-disk (RAID 5) array may be ordered. Hot-plug drive replacement is an option. Is remote diagnostic information available
