Hi
At our organisation, we use Apples, Windows and Linux based systems for a variety of high-end work. Moving material within them was always a challenge - but we managed to with a combination of FTP, SMB and WebDAV access. It was rather slow and painful but it worked.
Finally, when our XSAN reached end of life and we had to replace it, we replaced it with a Quantum StorNext system running on top of a Fiber Channel SAN from a leading vendor. Any FC SAN will work - just check with Quantum for compatibility - though I do not expect any problems with any FC SAN that follows standards.
It works like a dream - Windows, Linux and Apple users can all mount and share the same volume - not just transfer files - they can seamlessly read/write to the same volume from multiple platforms - no more FTP / WebDAV access to shared folders.
The whole user experience of sharing files has become seamless and transparent. Help desk calls from those departments have disappeared.
Quantum StorNext is a good solution for organisations with a variety of platforms that need to share data with each other.
Cheers
