Frequently asked questions
What is NetBytes SNS Storage OS?
A ZFS-based, enterprise-grade storage operating system made in India. It supports block (iSCSI), file (NFS and SMB) and object (S3, coming soon) workloads, with snapshots, clones, compression, replication and end-to-end data integrity checks.
What workloads is SNS Storage best suited for?
Virtualisation platforms (Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, XCP-ng), database servers (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle), backup and archive repositories (Veeam, Nakivo, Acronis, PBS), NAS and file services with AD or LDAP integration, and cloud-native workloads via object storage.
What form factors and capacities are available?
Rack Series, 2U to 8U with 8 to 60 bays and up to 28TB per 3.5-inch bay. Tower Series, 4 and 8 bays. Flash Storage, 2U all-flash with U.3 NVMe up to 30TB per bay or SAS SSD up to 15.3TB. Dual Controller, 3U 16-bay with JBOD expansion.
How is high availability ensured?
Dual active-active controllers on the Dual Controller Series, multipath I/O for iSCSI, redundant PSUs, hot-swap drives and fans, and ZFS checksums with self-healing.
Does it integrate with backup software?
Yes. Validated with Veeam, Nakivo, Acronis, Proxmox Backup Server and Windows Server Backup, and it supports rsync and ZFS send and receive for Linux-native workflows.
Can storage be expanded?
Yes — scale up by adding drives to an existing chassis, scale out by adding nodes in the Rack Series, or add JBOD expansion shelves on the Dual Controller Series.
Is it ready for compliance workloads?
Yes. WORM and immutability, snapshots, replication and encryption suit compliance frameworks including HIPAA, GDPR and financial data retention standards.
Is support available nationwide?
Yes. On-site service in the major metros, remote support elsewhere, and hardware replacement SLAs. On-site cover further afield can be arranged with the contract.
