Abstract

See full text

A system and a method of enabling a single redirection of folders for Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB) protocols in a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, are provided herein. The method may include: maintaining a NAS device comprising local folders which point to a volume of the NAS and redirection folders pointing to targets external to the NAS device; generating, using a NAS administrator, a configuration namespace from the redirection folders and a user interface (UI) configured to manage the redirection folders; configuring the NAS administrator to define names of the redirection folders as seen by end users and respective location of the redirection folder inside the NAS volume data path, and pointing, via each redirection folder, to at least one of: SMB, and NFS remote target points, responsive to an end user request via redirection data provided thereto.
