American Megatrends's NAS based on custom FreeBSD

Posted by Nik on from the no-such-thing-as-too-much-disk dept.

Asmodai writes "American Megatrends unveiled its StorTrends NAS software with NDMP support. This piece of software, which plugs into the StorTrends and ServTrends storage solutions, is a custom developed FreeBSD. Looks interesting for those who are interested in NAS and SAN and the subsequent managing and monitoring." It's interesting that this press release (because that's what it is) mentions FreeBSD by name.

    Reminds me of an answer I read once, attributed to Torvalds:

    Other than the fact Linux has a cool name, could someone explain why I should use Linux over BSD?

    No. That's it. The cool name, that is.
