EdgeWare™ OS

EdgeWare™ OS, a 64-bit, Linux operating system developed by Cutting Edge, is a storage-centric, easy-to-use, network file system. 

EdgeWare was designed to provide complete control over our ISS, MSS and family of m-DAR systems, and it enables the client to use these storage systems as NAS or iSCSI storage. EdgeWare is designed to function as an iSCSI target, allowing Cutting Edge storage devices to attach easily to existing iSCSI storage environments. EdgeWare’s ability to present multiple iSCSI block level volumes over an Ethernet network allows multiple application servers to utilize a single EdgeWare storage server as their storage resource. This enables the elimination of hard to manage direct attached storage (DAS) arrays, such as those running an individually attached SQL database or exchange server. These services can be moved to Cutting Edge storage systems running EdgeWare, to provide a powerful management interface, easily upgraded hardware, and a choice of capacities and performance levels.

The newest release of Cutting Edge’s EdgeWare OS focuses on additional storage features and an improved web-based management user interface (UI). In addition, it offers enhancements in security, client support, network support, SNMP, remote mirroring, remote replication, and snapshot capabilities. This new release, with improved network management capabilities, offers customers a comfortable setting from which to protect, secure, and administer the Cutting Edge storage servers. A single copy of EdgeWare can be used to manage all attached Cutting Edge storage servers.

EdgeWare is also ideal for data protection services. It supports Disk to Disk (D2D) backup, Disk to Disk to Tape (D2D2T), Disk to Disk to USB (D2D2USB), mirroring, built-in remote replication, RAID 6, IP Failover, and other features that provide a high level of data protection. Cutting Edge storage servers can be easily attached to networks running Linux, HP-UX, Unix, Microsoft Windows, and other operating systems.

EdgeWare OS Security & Updates

EdgeWare OS can be updated locally or remotely using secure Red Hat Packages. In addition, local updates can be done by an administrator through a USB disk-on-key or a USB CD-ROM. EdgeWare OS allows system administrators to remove unused components and perform other storage management functions through encrypted HTTPS. To ensure the security integrity of the system, EdgeWare OS verifies each change and the signature of the system software against a system software signature that is stored on read-only media after download.
