HELIOS Software today released its Virtual Server Appliance 2.0, which enables rapid deployment of a virtual file and print server and mobile file-sharing for Windows, Mac, web, and mobile clients.

Quick, Easy, Virtual Server Solution Supported by Helios


The HELIOS Virtual Server Appliance 2.0 is a virtual machine (VM) with a Linux guest OS and HELIOS Universal File Server software preinstalled and optimized for performance and security. A GUI-based Configuration Assistant simplifies management of print and file services, storage, and file snapshots for backups; no-command line expertise is required. Best of all, HELIOS supports the entire solution regardless of platform.

"With version 2.0, we introduce the new HELIOS Universal File Server UB64, add NFS server and client support, and have further tuned the Linux guest OS", notes Helmut Tschemernjak, CEO of HELIOS. "We are confident that the new Virtual Server Appliance will be well received by users."
