InterCon Announces Monumental Speed Increase in
Industry-leading Network File Sharing Software
NFS/Share 1.4 Is Three Times Faster Than Previous Version
InterCon Systems Corporation, a market leader in cross-platform solutions for TCP/IP networking, today released an enhanced version of its industry-leading network file sharing software, NFS/Share 1.4. With the new release, users can take advantage of improved connectivity features and much greater distributed computing performance.
NFS/Share has already been acknowledged as the fastest NFS solution on the market for the Macintosh. With the new release, NFS/Share file read and write functions ar as much as three times faster than before. "File access rates approach one megabyte per second, the equivalent of 250 pages of text per second," said David Saunders, Director of Engineering at InterCon. "At those rates NFS/Share becomes enormously useful to any company that requires large-file sharing across a network." NFS/Share is ideal for industries such as graphics/design, prepress, research/development, and data processing that have a need to integrate centralized data, communicate globally, or continually share/backup large data files.
Based on Sun Microsystems' Open Network Computing/Network
File System (ONC/NFS), NFS/Share was developed to allow
Macintosh users to take advantage of distributed file
sharing, providing seamless access to NFS-supported
services such as UNIX files, IBM mainframe systems,
VMS hosts, and PC servers. Advantages of using NFS
as a Macintosh and PC file sharing system are that
it is an open standard supported by many vendors on
almost all platforms, and it uses IP as the networking
protocol.
The transparent connectivity of NFS/Share is available
with the simplicity of the Macintosh interface. Accessing
NFS servers such as Sun sparc stations, supercomputers,
and Auspex file servers is as easy as using a local
hard drive-no additional software is necessary. NFS/Share
is installed in the System Folder and accessed through
the Chooser. Once the connection has been made and
the volume appears on the desktop, the user can copy,
delete, open, and print files just as though the volume
were an actual Macintosh hard drive.
Authentication services are provided by NIS (formerly Yellow Pages), PCNFSD, or BWNFSD.
NFS/Share includes additional user interface enhancements to more closely mirror AppleShare. "Users don't have to learn additional programs or operating systems," said Saunders. "NFS/Share presents files from remote servers in the same friendly, familiar format of regular Macintosh files."
