Best-In-Class iSCSI
PROMISE was one of the first on the scene with iSCSI for the Enterprise market back in 2004. Today, the 
Enterprise Level iSCSI Service is now available on the SmartStor NSx700 providing unparalleled iSCSI Target 
support along with High Performance in Single or Dual Port modes (load balancing or aggregated).
An ideal Diskless solution
Tired of maintaining Operating Systems on multi clients systems in the office? The SmartStor NSx700 series 
supports both iSCSI target and iSCSI Pre-boot initiators in addition to PXE Server. This allows for clients 
computers on the local network to install and run the OS (such as Windows) from the SmartStor NSx700. Go 
diskless and leave individual client system maintenance in the past.
Remote Backup
The Remote Replication Server feature of the 
SmartStor NSx700 series supports data replication 
from multiple RSYNC Clients or RSYNC servers.
Client to NAS backup
SmartNAVI includes a Backup Client Utility and 
is included with all SmartStor NAS. SmartNAVI 
supports Windows Vss (Shadow Copies of Shared 
Folders) which means you can backup files that 
are current open or locked by the OS without any 
problem. SmartStor NSx6700 is compatible with 
Apple’s Time machine, Windows Backup Utility and

NAS Volume Snapshot
The Volume Snapshots allows a complete “snapshot”

stored in a reserved partition. When the dedicated

capacity, the SmartStor NSx700 series will auto 
expand the reserved partition to fulfill the scheduled 
snapshot. All non- administrator users can access their
