Product Highlights
The N16000PRO 16-Bay NAS Server from Thecus is equipped with the Intel Xeon E3-1275 processor that runs at 3.4 GHz with 8GB of DDR3 RAM. A 10 GbE network card can be added to the available PCIe slot to ensure the full power of the processor is used. Furthermore, link aggregation can be used to ensure your network doesn’t slow down.
The ThecusOS 5.0 allows you to dynamically stack your NAS units for more capacities in a single volume. Simply designate your NAS as a stack master and implement a 10 GbE switch to connect additional target devices. Scalability is the key notion when it boils down to volume expansion. In fact, eight target devices can be intertwined for a massive volume of multi TB capacity when utilizing a 10 GbE switch. Daisy-chaining is the most innovative function to expand storage volume while keeping costs down. Up to four D16000 DAS can be added to your NAS for an additional 64 bays of storage. As a result, IT enterprises or consumers who utilize large amounts of storage can obtain massive expansion. Another advantage of daisy-chaining is faster transfer speeds, thanks to the SAS cables that are used to daisy-chain the DAS to the NAS. If paired with volume expansion, daisy-chain can help large businesses expand their storage capacity to up to 2.5 PB. The NAS runs on ThecusOS 5.0 which supports one of the most important features, High Availability (HA), within the storage industry. HA allows you to replicate the data on an active NAS to another standby NAS via 10 GbE synchronization. The importance of HA is quickly noticeable, whether there is data corruption or if the active NAS has any hard disk drive problems or downtime, the standby server keeps all vital data saved and is always available to take over the active NAS’ responsibilities. The NAS also supports Data Guard, the total backup solution that provides both local and remote backup under one roof. Currently, data is backed up across RAID volumes, external USB drives and eSATA. In addition, Data Guard uses innovative technology to sync data across the network to other NAS, so you can take advantage of real-time remote replication to keep your data safe. More importantly, Thecus Data Guard makes managing NAS user-friendly and convenient. Additionally, to cover enterprise backup needs, Thecus offers five free registered copies of Acronis Backup and Recovery 10 Server for Windows. Acronis offers a wide range of critical features which includes scheduling and hot backups with password protection, advanced compression functionality to help save space, incremental backups to save time and FTP/SFTP remote backup. Windows Server users now have a seamless, practical and secure system disaster recovery solution with features offered by Acronis Backup and Recovery 10 Server for Windows (OEM). In a multiple users environment, it is easy to spread a virus or malware through the data stored on the NAS. Adding an antivirus to the already comprehensive software bundle provides the necessary software protection by scanning the files on your NAS and defending it against possible threats. The NAS is designed to meet the needs of large businesses that store large amount of data and who expect professional performance out of their NAS. With unified storage, you will have the ability to plug your NAS to an iSCSI network and at the same time, use your NAS as an IP storage pool for both protocols. This way, the NAS can be compatible with any existing or future architecture. Now with a faster processor, the NAS delivers quicker response time and handles multitasking with better ease than before.
