| The
biggest challenge for IT managers today is to find a reliable
centralized storage solution which is able to provide highly
stable file storage and sharing. It is also important to set
up a solid data backup system to protect the valuable digital
assets against the risk of data loss. Now, QNAP TS-409 Pro Turbo
NAS offers the most reliable solution with these powerful features
and provides value-added benefits by minimizing the maintenance
cost for IT departments of modern business.
High performance and advanced RAID redundancy
QNAP TS-409 Pro is a 4-bay, hot-swappable, Linux embedded
All-in-one NAS (Network Attached Storage) Server specifically
designed for business users who need fast performance, mass
storage, and useful server features. Adopting 500MHz CPU and
256MB DDRII large-sized memory, it fully enhances the performance
and breaks through the deficiencies of other traditional NAS
models. Advanced RAID configurations for non-stop service
are also supported. RAID 5 is a widely adopted configuration
for highly economic data protection that allows one drive
failure with the system running. RAID 6 allows the failure
of maximum two drives to offer business a more advanced data
protection.
Multi-functional All-in-one NAS Server
TS-409 Pro supports multiple file sharing protocols for users
to share files across Linux, Unix, Mac, and Windows platforms.
Abundant valuable server functions including File Server,
FTP Server, and Printer Server, etc., are supported to satisfy
the business needs. Meanwhile, Windows ADS (Active Directory
Service) is supported to help create an easy-to-access environment
and lower the maintenance cost. With the dual support of MySQL
and SQLite, SMB & SOHO users can easily set up their own
web and database servers. Also, encrypted remote replication
and backup to external devices are supported to enhance data
protection. Various data storage and management mechanisms-
FTP server with SSL/TLS encrypted technology, SSH login, and
web page SSL login enable users to transfer, store, and share
data securely.
A solution for present and future
The flexible RAID Expansion and Migration features lower the
total cost of ownership. With Online RAID Capacity Expansion,
users can select to purchase the most cost-effective hard
drives for initial server setup and upgrade to larger ones
in the future. All the stored data will be kept and seamlessly
moved to the newly installed hard drives without turning off
the server. With Online RAID Level Migration, users can start
from one drive firstly and add more to upgrade the RAID level
in the future with the data retained.
Easy setup, low-cost maintenance
TS-409 Pro adopts silent fan and power-saving design which
is excellent for long-term operation and deployment in small
business environment without server room. The hot-swap design
is supported for replacing failed hard drive of a RAID configuration
without turning off the server to ensure non-stop services
and minimize maintenance cost and effort. Besides, the HDD
S.M.A.R.T. provides complete information of the hard drive
status to prevent potential physical drive failure. The comprehensive
log system summarizes the detail data access records and connection
status to server administrator. All error and warning messages
can also be sent via e-mail alerts for ease of maintenance.
