StarPort Key Features

• DVD-ROM drive emulation built-in. Allows mounting existing DVD-ROM ISO and MDS images as DVD-ROM drives. This prevents original DVD-ROM media from physical damage or loss, allows you to use client machines without optical drives and allows storing DVD backup data on a single server.
• Local RAM disk emulation provide extremely high performance for I/O critical applications.
• SCSI device emulation. Connects over IP network and maps locally any remote iSCSI device: hard disks and disk array, CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD burners, tape drives and autoloader libraries, media changers, etc.
• Complete iSCSI and AoE (ATA-over-Ethernet) client-side protocols support.
• Supports huge disks (above 2 TB in size) for both iSCSI and ATA-over-Ethernet configurations.
• Early mounting of persistent devices (before the user logs in).
• Native 32-bit and 64-bit binaries for x86 and x64 machines.
• iSNS integration for easy iSCSI targets look-up.
• IPv4 and IPv6 support out-of-box.
• CHAP authentication provides additional security.
• IPsec encryption for secure tunneling of private data over insecure WAN IP connections. The entire session content is encrypted. Your company critical data would remain encrypted during replication from the main site to remote sites.
• Fully conforms to the latest iSCSI Standard 1.0 (former Draft 20).
