StorNext FX 1.3
StorNext FX (SNFX) is a client only version software that is licensed to run in Apple managed environments and used with an Apple metadata controller. If is fully interoperable and compatible with Apple Xsan.
The first version of SNFX was released with Apple Xsan 1.0. Subsequent releases of SNFX and Apple Xsan followed this compatibility:
•SNFX 2.5 interoperable and compatible with Xsan 1.1
•SNFX 2.6 interoperable and compatible with Xsan 1.2
•SNFX 1.3 interoperable and compatible with Xsan 1.3
With the release of SNFX 1.3, the version numbering is changed to more closely align with the Apple Xsan release versioning. This was done to help minimize confusion of compatible SNFX releases with Apple Xsan releases and to maintain consistency with the Apple Xsan product. The product has not changed, only the release numbering.
