DFSConnect: DFS support for Mac clients

As companies with Macs look to deploy DFS in order to improve the manageability, reliability, and performance of their file server infrastructure, ExtremeZ-IP’s support for DFS is critical to providing “compatibility without compromise.”

DFSConnect allows your server to:

  • Provide full virtual DFS Namespace access to Mac clients in a seamless and intuitive manner on Mac OS X 10.4 and later.
  • Support full DFS replication and site costing.
  • Provide support for Mac clients to DFS-based network or portable home directories when authenticating against Active Directory at login (DFS Home Directory support requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later).
  • Support DFS referrals to both AFP (ExtremeZ-IP) servers or native SMB servers for mixed environments.
  • DFSConnect is the only solution on the market that allows you to utilize the AFP file sharing protocol in a DFS environment.
