Overview

 

PeerLink supports the ability to include content from CIFS shares on a NetApp storage device within a file collaboration session. In order for content from a NetApp storage device to be included in a file collaboration session, an additional Windows proxy server is required on the same subnet and domain as the NetApp device. The connection between the proxy server and the NetApp device must be as fast as possible. The PeerLink Agent will be installed on this proxy server and will use special NetApp API calls to serve as a bridge between the NetApp device and the file collaboration session. This proxy server is also known as an FPolicy Server. The diagram below illustrates the relationship between the FPolicy Server and the NetApp device.

 

 

In this diagram, communication between the two Agents (represented by the red circles) is handled by a common PeerLink Broker.
