 Modern
business faces the challenge of dramatic growth of digital data,
including documents, emails, applications, and so on. To deploy
the IT environment with a reliable, affordable and expandable
storage center to securely store, share, and back up the digital
assets has become an important task for the server managers of
the SMB and entry-level enterprise nowadays.TS-859 Pro+
houses up to eight 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA hard disk drives,
incorporates Intel® Atom™ dual core 1.8GHz processor and 1GB
memory, and is capable of delivering ultra high performance,
reliability, and lower power consumption during intensive data
transfers. The NAS is an efficient and powerful business storage
center with advanced iSCSI services, cross-platform data
sharing, and all-in-one server applications. With VMware® Ready™
and Citrix® Ready™ certification, and proven compatibility with
Microsoft Hyper-V environment, the NAS is an ideal shared
storage solution in the virtualized and clustered environment.
Brand New Turbo NAS Series for Business
The
Most Affordable and Flexible Virtualization Solution
TS-859 Pro+ is certified as compatible with VMware® vSphere4 (ESX
4.0 and above) and Citrix® XenServer virtualization platforms,
and is also compliant with Windows 2008 Failover Cluster. The
NAS can be utilized as the network shared storage of VMware,
Citrix virtualization environments and Windows clustered
servers. Comparing with traditional SAN (Storage Area Network),
the NAS is a competitive alternative with much lower setup and
maintenance costs in an IP SAN.
Feature-rich and Integrated Applications for Business
The NAS supports file sharing across Windows, Mac, Linux, and
UNIX platforms. Versatile business applications such as file
server, FTP server, printer server, web server, and Windows AD
(Active Directory) support are provided. The dominant features,
such as WebDAV, Share Folder Aggregation (also known as DFS),
IPv6 and IPv4 dual-stack, Wake on LAN, schedule power on/ off,
HDD S.M.A.R.T, comprehensive log systems, and policy-based
unauthorized IP blocking are all included.
New iSCSI/ IP-SAN for Virtualization
Deployments
Turbo NAS provides flexible and secure storage server deployment
with the following enhanced iSCSI features:
-
NAS + iSCSI/ IP-SAN storage solution
Turbo NAS can serve as a NAS (network-attached storage) for
file sharing and an iSCSI storage concurrently.
- Flexible multiple LUNs management
The NAS supports multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) and
iSCSI targets. The LUNs can be flexibly mapped to, unmapped
from, and switched among different iSCSI targets.
- Secure IP SAN environment deployment
Designed with CHAP authentication and LUN masking, the
advanced ACL (Access Control List) offers you the capability
to block the access from unauthorized initiators.
- Designed for virtualized and clustered
environments
Comparing with the high cost of Fibre Channel SAN, Turbo NAS
is an affordable system that can be deployed as a storage
center for virtualized and clustered server environments,
such as VMware, Citrix and Microsoft Windows Failover
Cluster.
