Workflow Booster

BrightDrive provides you with the highest level of operational stability via aligned file allocations.

are finally history. Dramatically increase productivity and reduce 'time to completion' due to real-time collaboration between all clients and no unplanned downtime - ever.

Cost Saver

With more uptime and less maintenance effort, BrightDrive decreases maintenance costs. BrightDrive's internal "Virtual SCSI Device" in Procoyn and Triton even saves money on meta-data device, hardware, and maintenance. In addition, your infrastructure will consume less power and cooling.

Perfect Overview and Easy Troubleshooting

BrightDrive comes with a unique server management & diagnostic software that ensures fast, efficient and reliable issue isolation and resolution – even for all attached components. These troubleshooting features enable the system administrator to quickly isolate detected errors – and reduce unpredictable performance significantly.

• Secure web-based Administrative Interface (for all BrightDrive editions)
• High Transparency Monitoring Suite (not for BrightDrive Astella)
