5. NAS Functions
An ETERNUS DX can be used with a NAS connection in a Unified environment.
In a NAS environment, data is accessed with files by using the NFS protocol or the CIFS protocol via Ethernet.
ETERNUS DX storage systems can be used as file servers because files can be shared between client PCs that
have different OSs.
SAN/NAS connection diagrams in a Unified environment are shown below.
