Serial Number
A unique 32-digit hexadecimal number associated with your account for use with Nasuni Edge
Appliance and Nasuni Management Console (NMC) installations. Each account has multiple Serial
Numbers. Unused Serial Numbers may be used to set up a new Nasuni Edge Appliance or an NMC.
Serial Numbers already in use may be used to recover existing Nasuni Edge Appliances or your existing
NMC. Serial Numbers are used in conjunction with Authorization Codes. To obtain a Serial Number,

share
A folder on a volume that can be shared on your network. Access to a share can be customized on a
user or group-level basis.
Side Load
As part of the recovery process, the Side Load feature enables you to transfer cache data directly from
the original source decommissioned Nasuni Edge Appliance to the new destination Nasuni Edge
Appliance. This saves the time and bandwidth necessary to manually re-populate the new cache with
data.
Simple Network Management Protocol) (SNMP)
An Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks.
snapshot
An instantaneous, non-changing, read-only image of a volume. Snapshots let you view any past version
of the file system and restore all or part of the version quickly.
A snapshot is a complete picture of the files and folders in your file system at a specific point in time.
With snapshots, the Nasuni Edge Appliance can identify new or changed data. Snapshots offer data
protection by enabling you to recover a file deleted in error or to restore an entire file system. After a
snapshot has been taken and is sent to cloud storage, it is not possible to modify that snapshot.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
See “Simple Network Management Protocol) (SNMP)” on page 117.
Storage Area Network (SAN)
An architecture to attach remote computer storage devices (such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and
optical jukeboxes) to servers in such a way that the devices appear as locally attached to the operating
system.
sync
You can schedule when, and with what frequency, the selected volume updates data (“syncs”) from
Nasuni, merging your local data with any new or changed data from other Nasuni Edge Appliances
connected to this volume. This helps to ensure that everyone in your organization is using the most
current data.
