The soul of our system is the Cleversafe Dispersed Storage™ Network system.

Accesser® Appliances.
Accesser appliances are the brains of the operation, using Information Dispersal Algorithms to slice and disperse your digital assets for storage onto the Dispersed Storage™ Network system. Accesser software also retrieves those slices and reassembles them so they’re 100% bit perfect. Best of all, you can access the, um, accesser from your computer. Because of its iSCSI interface, it looks like just another drive on your desktop—although you and we know it’s so much more that that.
Slicestor® Appliances.
If Accesser appliances are the brains, Slicestor appliances are the brawn, capable of storing tons of unique data slices. Slicestor appliances offer large capacity and inexpensive scaling. And, they can be centrally located in a single data center rack or geographically distributed anywhere there’s an electrical outlet and an internet connection—the U.S., Latin America, Europe, Asia, you name it. Now that’s Dispersed Storage™ technology.
Cleversafe Manager Appliance.
Brains and brawn, meet conscience. Our out-of-band Manager monitors the processes and hardware components of Accesser appliances and Slicestor appliances within the Dispersed Storage™ Network system, providing reporting capabilities for Storage Administrators. The Manager supports standard SNMP protocols and can report into your Network Operations process, providing the tools you need to manage our Dispersed Storage™ technology.
