NFS Gateway
OpenText NFS Gateway allows organizations to grant their Windows users access
to business data stored in UNIX file systems without requiring any software
installation on Windows desktops.
For organizations or departments that have light or occasional
needs to access file resources on UNIX or NFS-enabled devices, OpenText NFS
Gateway is the perfect solution. It offers compatibility, performance and
reliability without adding management overhead.
By empowering a Microsoft Windows Server with the functionalities of an NFS
client, and allowing it to share the access to NFS resources with downstream
Windows-based clients, OpenText NFS Gateway turns the Microsoft Windows server
into a software gateway between Microsoft and NFS networks. OpenText NFS Gateway
has zero software footprint on downstream Windows-based clients. It provides IT
organizations with a single point of access control and resource management
through tight integration with enterprise directory services, such as Microsoft
Active Directory. OpenText NFS Gateway greatly simplifies cross-platform
resource sharing with minimal impact on both the Windows-based desktop image and
the integrity of the hosts. streaming.
