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.

    This is what the BSD'ers mean when they say that the BSD license is truly free, because you can use it for anything.

    Let's face it, the GPL is more "selfish" - we just don't see it that way because we are comparing it to proprietary software licensing.
