Hi,

can anyone tell me what are the differences between Nearstore and FAS and also for what models we use Nearstore and FAS?

Is it possible to integrate both technologies? If yes how?

Thanks,

Phani

NearStore were dedicated low(er) cost backup appliances. Today they no more exist as separate product. Free NearStore license simply enables more concurrent backup sessions (and I believe is prerequisite for A-SIS license as well) and can be installed on any FAS.
