Superior performance, versatility and ease-of-use
SANmp management software enables all of your globalSAN users to easily share their projects and media files on the Storage Area Network. Workflow is dramatically increased with SANmp – all users can capture, record and edit directly onto the storage system, eliminating the need to copy files locally.
SANmp requires no servers or metadata controllers, which makes it extremely easy to setup and maintain. Simply install SANmp and within minutes your Mac and PC users can be safely sharing all of your SAN's storage.
Other SAN sharing applications – particularly those based on file-level locking – can be complicated to install, configure and maintain. In addition, they may have a serious impact on your SAN’s performance, requiring you to compensate by purchasing more storage hardware than expected. SANmp is based on a model that emphasizes high performance and ease-of-use. This means SANmp doesn’t negatively affect your storage hardware’s performance capabilities, so you don’t have to purchase and maintain additional storage arrays.
Every copy of SANmp includes a license for both OS X and Windows – you can install it on either platform. You can even install both SANmp versions on a dual-boot computer!

Tech support and service has been fast and furious, and although we rarely ever need to call, it’s great that SNS is there with answers when we need them.
