Supported Devices
All Unitrends appliances have at least one Ethernet connector. Standard NAS and SAN devices are supported by all releases of the Unitrends product roadmap. Non-standard NAS and SAN devices may be attached to a Unitrends appliance; however, it is the responsibility of the reseller or customer that attaches such a device to insure correct operation via correct hardware configuration, software configuration, and software tool support. One such example of a non-standard NAS device are some of the SNAP devices that do not provide persistent connections; in order for these devices to be supported the reseller or customer must insure that the proper mapping call is made to ensure a persistent connection before the Unitrends appliance attempts to access that device.
