Overview of using CTE with Quantum StorNext

Quantum StorNext Fibre Channel-connected devices provide shared file access to third party storage for workstation clients and are optimized for simultaneous access to very large files such as video files. The Quantum StorNext file system is known as SNFS or by its older name, CVFS.

You can encrypt and control access to SNFS files with policies by installing CTE Agents on Linux clients that are configured for access to the SNFS file system. Some limitations apply to this integration, such as supported operating systems, supported SNFS features, concurrent read/write access by multiple clients, and GuardPoint settings (see the next section for more information about these limitations).
