The NAS System · / /Introduction
Introduction
The NAS System
Storage networks become more and more complex. If you need to easily expand storage capacity while
providing uninterrupted high-performance data access across your LAN, you may want to consider a NAS
(Network Attached Storage) appliance. When budgets are tight and a quick fix is required, a NAS
appliance is a low-cost, efficient solution to dodge that network-to-storage logjam. That's why more and
more users select NAS architecture as their storage networking.
The NAS system is a reliable, cost-effective way to add storage to the network. It comes with 5 drive trays
accommodating 3.5" SATA II drives while SCA-II single connector architecture enables true hot swap
capability. Built-in Intel Celeron 1.6GHz CPU (or above), up to 2GB DDR2-667MHz SDRAM and two
Gigabit Ethernet ports offers high performance NAS platform. With Linux-based embedded OS design, it
can boot without HDD, FDD or CD-ROM to guarantee reliability and quick boot. The NAS system is
managed and configured by Flex/Ruby browser-based software, and some features include pre-configure
disk capacity, users setting, volume management, quick installation on popular network platform, and
multi-protocol support. It is equipped with software RAID to offer fault tolerant data protection. It offers full
featured data protection supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Linear.
System reliability is ensured by an environmental monitoring unit, which tracks the enclosure temperature
as well as individual disk temperatures. If any irregularity in the system occurs, the monitoring unit alerts
the administrator.
