Exante

The Israeli software firm Exanet, Ltd. offered its business partners scalable software for NAS systems. The software that ran Exanet did not need any special hardware to function. Their clustered NAS software storage solution scaled linearly with the size of a single file and worked with Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux. On February 19, 2010, when Exanet had entered temporary receivership, Dell purchased the company's intellectual property.

The company's intellectual property was purchased by Dell Inc. in February 2010 for $12 million. Dell's NAS functionality was further developed and is now known as the Dell Fluid File System (FluidFS). The controller software is installed on a Dell PowerEdge server, and iSCSI or Fibre Channel connections can be made to storage devices from Dell's PowerVault, EqualLogic, or Compellent product lines.
