PCShare G8

HELIOS PCShare G8

enables seamless integration of powerful servers into Windows networks. It delivers an extremely fast, reliable, and feature-rich Windows-compatible file and print server that unlocks full server performance for Windows clients.  It is well known for its reliability, performance, and ease of use.

Windows SMB/CIFS Support

ensures complete compatibility with standard Windows applications, including multi-user programs. No additional client software is required – file and printer sharing works with the built-in Windows networking stack. Support for Windows NTFS Unicode and file streams guarantees compatibility. Mac metadata is accessible via file streams, while UNIX permissions and quotas are fully supported.

Windows Explorer Extensions

let users manage UNIX file and folder permissions directly from the client. The HELIOS Meta extension adds, edits, and displays comments and color labels on files stored on HELIOS volumes or local disks; this metadata is also visible to Mac and WebShare clients. Fast Spotlight-compatible searches (via HELIOS Index Server) locate file names, text content, and metadata within seconds – even on very large volumes.

HELIOS Admin

provides straightforward remote setup of users, groups, volumes, printers, and server settings from Windows, Mac, or UNIX/Linux clients.

Authentication

via LDAP, AD/PDC, NIS, and local server users is provided by the HELIOS Authentication server.

PCShare Scales

seamlessly from small sites with just a few Windows clients to enterprise environments. It integrates tightly with ImageServer, PDF HandShake, and PrintPreview to address a wide range of prepress needs.
Together with EtherShare and WebShare it provides true cross-platform solution.

HELIOS supports multiple server platforms with identical feature sets, administration, and release dates – giving customers the flexibility to choose the platform that best fits their needs, budgets, and future plans.
