Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) Latest News about Apple has delivered a major upgrade to Xsan, the company's enterprise-class storage area network (SAN) file system for Mac OS X. Called "Xsan 2," the upgrade includes completely redesigned administration tools, which Apple said make it even easier for first-time users to set up and deploy a SAN.
In addition, Apple has introduced new features, including MultiSAN, which lets users on a single workstation access multiple SANs at the same time. Xsan 2 is also fully integrated with Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS X Leopard Server, and it can take advantage of core Mac OS X features like Spotlight to search across multiple SAN volumes, Apple said. Leopard Server features, such as iCal Server, Mail Server and Podcast Producer, can now integrate with Xsan 2 to support clustered file systems to improve performance and reliability in the event of a server outage. Xsan 2 is compatible with existing Xserve RAID (redundant array of inexpensive drives) implementations
