Precisely scalable permission assignment for files with access control lists (ACLs)
Secure network connections with 128-bit SSL, IPSec, Secure Shell and Kerberos 5 authentication
Protection against unauthorized access to data
Protection against internal and external attacks

User-defined automated software distribution and software management:
Identical software configurations can be distributed and installed automatically across all networks on hosts with different hardware
Worldwide, quality-assured software rollout is possible via secure connections
Reduced installation times in networks occur through implementing a quality-assured standard that is ideal for setting up clusters, server farms, and client or thin-client networks
Increased data throughput:
The server is not weighed down
Data transfer is enhanced
Hardware is utilized optimally
Detailed process control/improved failover:
Optimum resource utilization (Even if one process or application fails, all others continue to run.)
Higher availability
Dynamic storage management:
Several hard disks are combined to a volume
The resulting volume can be apportioned as needed
The volume can be resized during operation, so the hard-disk space in the system can increase dynamically to meet a growing demand
File safety and increased performance:
Modern file management: the log guarantees a speedy reconstruction of all data after an unexpected reboot
File systems for any utilization field: ReiserFS, ext3, xfs or jfs
Effective database support:
Databases can access hard disks directly, leading to a significant increase of the data throughput
