Antivirus (AV)
The Antivirus Service provides protection against viruses and other malware in files on a volume. The
Antivirus Service scans every new or modified file for the presence of viruses and other malware. If a
scanned file is found to be infected, the authorized administrator has the option to ignore the infection.
Only files with no detected malware, or infected files that the authorized administrator deliberately
ignores, are allowed into cloud storage. The Nasuni Edge Appliance Antivirus Service uses the Clam
AntiVirus (ClamAV®) open-source antivirus engine.
Authorization Code
A 6-character code used in conjunction with a Serial Number to validate an installation. Authorization
Codes are good for one use; one successful use causes an authorization code to be changed
automatically. Generating a new authorization code for a serial number does not cause a Nasuni Edge
Appliance or NMC that uses that serial number to stop working. The authorization code is only used
once during initial setup of a new or recovered Nasuni Edge Appliance or NMC. Because an
Authorization Code is only used once, an administrator can safely issue it to a user in order to install a
single Nasuni Edge Appliance or NMC without revealing Nasuni account credentials. To obtain an
Authorization code for a Serial Number, visit
https://account.nasuni.com/account/serial_numbers/, or
the Account Status page of the Nasuni Management Console.
Auto Cache or autocache or autofault
A feature that brings new data into the local cache from other Nasuni Edge Appliances that are
attached to a volume. Otherwise, new data is brought into the local cache from other Nasuni Edge
Appliances when that data is accessed next.
AV (Antivirus)
See “Antivirus (AV)” on page 108.
B
bucket
A bucket is a logical unit of storage in object storage services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Simple Storage Solution (S3), and Dell EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS). Buckets can be thought of as
containers that are used to store objects, which consist of data and metadata.
byte-range locking
Byte-range locking is a form of global file lock that applies to locking a collection of bytes within a file,
rather than the entire file. Certain applications benefit from byte-range locking.
