A new utility, called Shift, is now available to help you automate the reliable transfer of data within the NAS enclave and to external locations.

Shift (Self-Healing Independent File Transfer) selects the highest performance method to transfer your data, automatically validates data integrity, re-transmits data as needed, and provides you with status information.

This automated process is designed to reduce the time spent on managing data transfers–one of the top areas of concern from the August 2011 NAS user survey.
