1. Introduction
LevelOne Network Storage GNS-4000 is a network attached storage (NAS) solution
for external storage targeted for small and medium business (SMB) users and small
office/home office (SOHO) users. With a NAS product, users can save their work
and have access to files over the network without having to carry around a disk
drive or memory stick. The Administrator can manage access privileges for greater
security. Multiple backup and synchronization functions protect your data.
The Network Storage GNS-4000’s architecture is based on the powerful Freescale
microprocessor and the hardware based Serial ATA RAID Controller. The Gigabit
Ethernet port is used for the data transfer and management. The USB ports are
used for a printer, expansion drives, and Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).
