Common Internet File System (CIFS)

You can consolidate numerous Windows® file servers on our network-attached storage with native CIFS support. Integrate with your existing Windows environment with minimal or no disruption.

How many CIFS-based Windows® file servers do you have? Many businesses have hundreds—even thousands. This can mean complexity and high maintenance overhead.

You can consolidate all those servers on our Windows File Services solutions. Our systems have native support for CIFS, so you can integrate them into your Windows environment with minimal to no disruption. Connect to your existing authentication services, like Active Directory. Use the VFM® (Virtual File Manager™) to non-disruptively migrate your Windows data and present to your end-users a single logical view of their files.

We also can cover you with certified solutions for antivirus, quota management, and security—so you get a complete and easy-to-integrate solution.

Learn how we can help you assess and consolidate your Windows file server environment and save your time and money all within a unified storage architecture.
