GuardianOS by Snap is particularly strong in the workgroup and departmental markets. Now that it has been acquired by Adaptec, there are signs that it is moving into larger enterprise environments. Newer appliances, for example scale up beyond 29 TB.
GuardianOS is now up to version 3.1. This latest version adds iSCSI support, block-based services, some dynamic provisioning capabilities and the ability to expand an iSCSI LUN on the fly. Another feature is Snap EDR – enterprise data replication. This is replication and aggregation software that enables remote backups and data transfer over a WAN.
According to Steven Rogers, director of technical marketing for Adaptec's Snap Appliance division, Guardian OS is a more streamlined and resilient NAS OS than Windows or Data ONTAP.
