Description:
AccessNFS Gateway enables companies with a large Windows user base to purchase client seats according to the number required to cover user demand at any given time. Reduce disk, memory, and administration expenses associated with installing an NFS client on every node. With AccessNFS Gateway, a Windows NT Server attaches to file and print resources using the industry-standard NFS protocol, then reshares these devices with the Microsoft network as standard Windows networking SMB connections. Administrators gain centralized network control, and when it's time to upgrade, they need only update the server. Users gain easy, secure, and transparent access to NFS resources without learning new commands. Files remain on the NFS host system, so Windows and UNIX users gain access to files without duplicating data. Individual Windows-user identities are mapped to NFS accounts as they are passed through the Gateway, ensuring security and maintaining file-access privileges.
