NuvolaStor is providing enterprise class storage through Sun Microsystem’s innovative ZFS file system. ZFS is a file system that provides simple administration, transactional semantics, end-to-end data integrity, and immense scalability. ZFS is not an incremental improvement to existing technology; it is a fundamentally new approach to data management.
NuvolaStor is built from Sun’s revolutionary file system ZFS which means that virtualization is at the core of the product. NuvolaStor is unified storage (file and block) with the ability to expand the underlying physical storage on demand without limitation. Also, NuvolaStor identifies and corrects data corruption thanks to the use of end-to-end checksumming and transactional copy-on-write IO operations. The combination of these capabilities means you can add disk capacity to NuvolaStor and be confident that the result will be enterprise class storage.
NuvolaStor provides enterprise class features like Synchronous & Asynchronous Replication, WORM for compliance and security, network shares like NFS v4& v3, high performance CIFS, WebDAV, FTP, RSYNC, with unmatched performance and data integrity. Advanced features like 'Call home' fault management and reealtime reporting as well as hot spare and superior software RAID capabilities help insure 'lights out' operations and your peace of mind.

iSCSI Target in NuvolaStor
iSCSI Target in NuvolaStor
In today’s network environment companies use operating systems that are designed to boot from storage. This feature requires iSCSI target and enables the desktops to be fully protected against hardware failure and data loss. Nuvola Technologies will provide you with an iSCSI target for your convenience that is Enterprise grade, meaning “no single point of failure” with multi-level data protection. iSCSI target enables Diskless Remote Boot, which protects a Desktop against data loss due to hardware failure. In layman’s term “iSCSI” is SCSI on IP, where an entire storage volume, which is composed of many disks in a RAID array with hot spares which are made available for your convenience.
To ensure a high level of connectivity and security, our carrier-grade data center has redundant node disjoint fiber path connections to many Tier 1 providers, multi-redundant utilities, redundant power, generators and redundant AC. Access is through a vault door with security guards, electronic locks and video surveillance. The building is SAS 70 Certified which means Data Center grade with reinforced concrete and is designed to withstand level 5 hurricanes. It’s located on very high ground to avoid flooding.
All of this redundancy in the equipment guarantees very high availability and self-healing features. Each component has redundant power supplies, redundant fans and controllers. NuvolaStor has redundant Head Nodes Servers to the modular storage arrays and uses path redundancy to ensure availability.

Nuvola Remote Folder
Nuvola Remote Folder
The “Remote Folder” or “Network Drive” in NuvolaStor Cloud Storage provides unmatched Enterprise grade storage, meaning “no single point of failure” with multi-level data protection.
This service enables the user to have a remote drive in Windows, using the “map network drive” feature of Windows. With the “Nuvola Delorean” “Time Machine” users can benefit advanced features like multi-snapshots in time.
Please read about the enhancement attributed to Sun Microsystem ZFS for the unparallel data integrity which outperforms many brand names.
The Folder is mounted securely, just like large corporation on private networks, with enhanced security using a multi-layer firewall approach with umbrella security appliances in order to connect through a private network where all the servers hide on private addresses which makes it hacker proof. None of the storage servers are directly connected to the internet.
The virtual remote drive will be backup regularly through system snapshots and asynchronous replication to other sites. The virtual drive can be resized on the fly to accommodate your needs.

Delorean Replication
Delorean is a high-powered Windows Backup, Restore and Search tool, with multiple advanced capabilities.
The features at-a-glance include: support for Windows VSS, combined backup + snapshot capability, support for any backup schedule, ability to work with any number of NuvolaStor appliances on the backend, as well as any number of independently scheduled and independently configured backup services (each having its own retention policy, its own schedule, and transport mechanism).
Delorean provides built-in File Explorer and preservers Windows ACLs.
With Delorean you can extend the power of NuvolaStor right to your end users' computers, ensuring that your company's data residing on client machines, as well as servers, is protected.
Many of the Delorean capabilities are reflected in its built-in Wizard designed to simplify initial setup/configuration for the first-time Delorean users.
