Openfiler Reviews & Product Details

Shared storage compatibility with all the os on network is just great, I've deployed this product to many small firms who are not looking into more hardware investment but have there concern about file and storage sharing. This OpeFiler box can be the all for them in 1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well all open source products have their up's and down but the thing I didn't agree to use it for the mid size company is the way it's shared storage work. Software SAN work and attach very easily but for some reason when the source gets down or reboot target storage not connect automatically sometimes, Also I've face the problem on increasing on storage when the size of a LUN increase more then 1 TB consumption it started to show IOPS error and destroy all the data.
