LucidNAS ZFS NAS Software

LucidNAS Storage Appliance software delivers enterprise-class functionality across the full range of Network Attached Storage appliances, from the branch office to the data center. It is a fully-featured, flexible and extendable NAS/SAN software platform which offers capabilities that surpass those of traditional hardware RAID arrays.

LucidNAS  helps reduce the cost and complexity of managing business-critical storage with advanced capabilities, an easy-to-use Web-based management interface, and flexible storage analysis and optimization environment. It effectively counters the high cost, poor performance, and management complexity of traditional storage. Just as server designs a decade ago shifted away from proprietary systems to commodity components and open source software, LucidNAS achieves similar efficiencies while providing enterprise-class performance and manageability. LucidNAS functions as a storage appliance that abstracts legacy and commodity storage devices, pools resources, and presents them at the file or block level to client servers or workstations.

LucidNAS Storage Software is built on a UNIX foundation that includes ZFS, the most advanced enterprise file system available today. ZFS brings a wealth of benefits to the LucidNAS storage solution, including native I/O pooling, end-to-end data integrity, and unlimited snapshot capabilities. To further increase the software utility, Lucid Technology added an intuitive and comprehensive data management front-end for organizing and administering all aspects of the unified storage solution.
