8. Storage Platform Core Features
• Attix5 Pro Storage Platform components:
• AccountServer – User authentication, Group management and reporting
• StorageServer – File storage system
• MirrorServer – Optional component for off-site file storage system for DR purposes
• WebAccess – Optional component to support secure browser access for remote users
• Attix5 Pro Storage Platform Console abilities:
• Management – Enables the backup administrator to control servers and licences, manage user groups and individual
users, and remotely configure any Backup Client.
• Deployment– Pre-deployment customisation tool included to create MSI installers.
• Backup Client software editions:
• Desktop and Laptop Edition (DL) – Versions available for Windows and Mac operating systems.
• Server Edition (SE) - Versions available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix (including Solaris) operating systems. Plug-ins
available for MS SQL Server, VSS, Oracle and more.
Note: Communications between the abovementioned components use the SSL protocol standard to ensure secure
data transmission and data is stored on the Storage Platform using the globally recognised 256-bit Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES).
• The Storage Platform explained...
• An Attix5 Pro Storage Platform (SP) consists of an AccountServer (AS) connected to one or more StorageServer[s] (SS). The
AccountServer handles user authentication and Backup Group management. The StorageServer is the file storage location for Clients’
encrypted data.
• When an AccountServer is connected to one or more StorageServer(s), together they function as a Storage Platform.
Note: These components (AS & SS) run on the same or separate physical platforms.
