Microsoft is expected Wednesday to announce with vendor partners the pending rollout of a number of NAS appliances based on its Windows Storage Server 2003 operating system.
Microsoft initially unveiled details of Windows Storage Server 2003 and released it to NAS OEMs last June.
The operating system allows the creation of point-in-time copies of a single volume or multiple volumes using Volume Shadow Copy Services.
It is also expected to incorporate file replication, server clustering and multipath support and integrate with commonly used network environments and management software as well as the Active Directory directory service.
