"It has snapshot capabilities. We take advantage of those."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its most valuable features are the collaboration, the file snapshots, and the data protection the solution provides."
"Its read performance can be improved. It is just slow in comparison to other file systems, but a lot of it also has to do with the fact that they have a limited number of spindles under each node."
"The only problem is the current performance of the individual nodes. As a sale-out solution with integrated load-balancing functions, performance is in principle not a problem at all. Capacity and performance are linearly scalable over the number of nodes in the cluster. An increase in the performance of the individual nodes in future releases would be desirable."
"It should be easy for people not on the network to connect and access their files."
