Flexible Cross-Platform Solution
Operating seamlessly in Windows, Apple
Macintosh and Linux environments, both
products feature an auto-sensing 10BaseT
and 100BaseTX connection to local area net-

effortless setup. Both solutions are compatible
with TCP/IP, SMB/CIFS, Apple Talk, FTP
and HTTP file sharing protocols to easily in-
tegrate into your operating configuration.
e ExtremeZ-IP File Server (compatible
with the Ethernet Disk only) offers support
for Apple’s latest version of the Apple file
sharing protocol, AFP v3.1, as well as all the
important new Mac OS X features like sup-

the server, single sign-on authentication us-
ing Kerberos, and true compatibility between
Mac OS 9** and Mac OS X files.
e Ethernet Disk supports up to 100 us-

controlled and sensitive files are protected
from prying eyes.

can be accessed from any internet-connected
