Integrating Mac OS and NetApp Storage: Integration, Configuration and Performance in Mixed File Sharing Environments

Overview The inclusion of both the NFS and CIFS network file sharing protocols in Mac OS X dramatically simplifies the integration of Apple systems into multiprotocol file sharing environments that include Windows, UNIX, and other systems. To assess the network file sharing functionality and performance of OS X, Network Appliance undertook extensive integration testing of the OS X native NFS, native CIFS, and DAVE and ADmitMac, a third-party implementation suite of CIFS from Thursby Software Systems. Although native NFS and CIFS were found to have file size, file naming, and cross accessibility limitations that might be significant in some environments, they are adequate for many common applications.
