What is eDC™ Protocol?

eDC™ , electronic Disk Communication, is a disk management and delivery protocol developed by Fine Appliance Corporation. In eHD™ Net System architecture, eDC™ protocol is used between eHD™ (server) and eDisk™ (clients) over the popular Ethernet.

The fundamental principle behind eDC™ protocol is the disk-based computing architecture, with service package managed and delivered as a disk, to a computing platform (client computer), just like the conventional PC's disk that holds services available to run on the PC.

The eDC™ protocol is essentially the presentation-layer protocol in the OSI 7-layer model. It comprises groups of protocol command to do disk accessing and disk management (e.g. construction, destruction, resizing, duplication, access blocking, etc.)

With eDC™, Fine Appliance Corp provides a system that is able to emulate Win 95/98/ME/2000/XP, Linux, Unix client's hard disk, while at the same time performs backup, restoration and auto-boot. With a rich set of commands, the eHD™ Net System can help you better managed the server resources, hard disk usage and network traffic.
