Zerver
What is a FileZerver, NetZerver, ProZerver
-
A File Server for a small office or small organization
for multiple common protocols,
using redundant disks,
with a number of system reliability,
management, and backup features.
-
RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) used to protect against disk failure --
RAID-5-Checksum can keep operating after the failure of any one disk in a Raid-Group,
RAID-6 can keep operating after the failure of any two disks,
RAID-10 can be configured to keep operating after any disk or after any two disk failures,
and RAID-1-Mirror can be used to any desired level of redundancy.
-
RAID used to create large file-system space from multiple disks, 16 TB or larger.
-
Software RAID allows use of a wide range of disks
(compare with "hardware" RAID in which the firmware is on a controller board,
and can only operate with the disks directly connected to that controller board).
-
Journal-File-System (EXT3 and EXT4) used for quick recovery from unexpected shutdown
(generally minutes, not hours for a full File-System Check).
-
SmartMirror uses rsync to create and efficiently maintain back-up files
between two or more systems, on schedule of hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly,
using whatever bandwidth is available.
SmartMirror communication between systems may be encrypted.
-
SmartMirror scheduling, job linking, and options can be used
to automatically make daily, weekly or monthly full-back-up sets,
or sets of changed files.
-
As NAS-Network-Attached-Storage, sharing data between users is easy.
-
With multi communication protocols, sharing data between users
accessing with Windows, NFS (for Unix/Linux systems),
web-browsers, and/or FTP is easy.
-
Using Linux for the kernel and many FOSS Free and Open Source Software projects,
there are no per-seat license fees.
-
System structure is intended to allow current versions of each of these projects.
-
System structure is intended to use a wide-range of hardware,
from one to four Intel/AMD CPU, either 32-bit or 64-bit,
up to 4 GB of memory for 32-bit CPU, more for 64-bit,
from one to eight network connections,
with a wide range of disks using SATA, USB, SCSI, and/or IDE.
-
The Zerver part of this system is focused on these limited goals,
so that set-up and operation will be simple.
-
For operation,
-
e-mail alerts are used for system conditions
-
SNMP can be used for performance monitoring
-
NTP can be used to keep time synchronization
-
program ZerverView can be used for some control operations
-
SSH-Secure-Shell can be used for specialized maintenance tasks
-
Firmware, configuration, and long-term log files are on a small flash
Config-Device,
ZerverModule™. All disk space is available for data storage.
-
In the past, Zerver firmware would be a part of a package
of server-HW and disks,
under the names ProZerver, NetZerver, and FileZerver.
-
Now Zerver firmware is available --
-
on small (1-16GB) USB flash drives, ready for immediate use
-
as a Bootable-CD which can be used for testing
and for install onto your own flash drive
-
as a disk-image ready for use by Virtual Box
-
as a disk-image ready for use by MSFT Virtual Server
-
as an SW Update file that can be used to upgrade or update any of the above
-
To allow examination of the web interface for the curious,
the Zerver at
polycosmic.net
(also known as
polycosmic-zervertest.zapto.org
)
has a userid configured with read-only admin permission.
Try "rodmin" with credential "Heisenberg42"
which should allow extensive examination,
but prevents use of "Submit" to make any changes.
