Comprehensive Event Log System and Instant Notification

Detailed logs of file-level data access to the NAS via Samba, iSCSI, FTP, AFP, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, and SSH; and networking services accessed by online users are all recorded. Moreover, users can configure the SMTP server, SMSC server, and instant messaging settings on the NAS in order to receive instant system warning or error messages by email, SMS, and Windows Live Messenger.

AJAX-based Management Interface The Turbo NAS provides an AJAX-based management interface that allows convenient system configuration by a web browser. Less technical-savvy users can easily install the NAS on the network with simple wizards for adding new NFS shares and setting up iSCSI LUNs. The NAS supports Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari (version 3 & 4), Firefox (version 3 & 4), and Google Chrome.

Segment-leading iSCSI Features

The Turbo NAS offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 5+hot spare, 6, 6+hot spare, 10, and 10+hot spare, single, and JBOD disk configurations.It supports hot-swap design that a failed member drive of a RAID array (RAID 1 or above only) can be replaced by hot swapping without turning off the storage.

Upgrade the disk configuration to higher RAID levels with the data retained without turning off the storage.

Online RAID Level Migration

Advanced RAID Management to Protect Virtual Machines

The Turbo NAS is 10 GbE ready and supports up to 8 GigabitLAN with multiple bonding modes: Balance-rr (Round-Robin), Active Backup, Balance XOR, Broadcast, IEEE 802.3ad, Balance-TLB (Transmit Load Balancing), and Balance-ALB (Adaptive Load Balancing). These modes enable continuous services and increase the bandwidth between the XenServer and QNAP storage repositories.

The QNAP Turbo NAS allows users to extend the storage capacity and deploy a complete Desktop Virtualization solution infrastructure. Store the VDI on the QNAP NASand enhance users’ productivity with flexibility.

In the software development process, R&D and QA teams often require different environments and operating systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux) to run a wide variety of applications. To reduce the costs for server setup and increase the work efficiency, virtualization environment is established. QNAP Turbo NAS is the perfect storage repository among different OS in such infrastructure.

If you have already deployed CitrixXenServer with a primary storage, you may need an additional storage for data backup, archiving, or extended storage. QNAP Turbo NAS can be seamlessly integrated into a virtual environment. You can select from 2 to 16-bay Turbo NAS models (tower or rackmount) with up to 64TB storage capacity according to your storage requirements.QNAP NAS supports data remotereplication to back up the virtual machines to another QNAP NAS. It also works with third-party backup software such as Symantec Backup Exec toprotect the virtualization environment from storage repository failure and of course the built-in XenCenter VM protection and recovery feature.

iSCSI LUN Snapshot & Backup: The Turbo NAS supports point-in-time LUN snapshot to ensure data consistency between the backup contents and the original copy. Users can also back up the iSCSI LUN to and restore the copies from various storage destinations, including Windows shared folders via SMB/CIFS, Linux shared folders via NFS, or simply local shared folders on the NAS.

Online LUN Expansion & Multiple LUNs per Target: Expand LUNs (Logical Unit Number) on the Turbo NAS without losing the data! Flexibly map to, unmap from and switch among different iSCSI targets for easy management of the storage; LUN can be expanded online.

CHAP and LUN Masking: Designed with CHAP authentication and LUN masking, the advanced ACL (Access Control List) offers users the capability to block unauthorized access from the initiators.

SPC-3 Persistent Reservation Supported: The built-in iSCSI service supports SPC-3 persistent reservation to run Windows 2008 clustering.

Advanced MPIO and MC/S Supported:With MPIO (Multipath Input Output) and MC/S (Multiple Connections per Session) on the Turbo NAS, users can connect to the QNAP iSCSI targets using two or more network interfaces from the server with failover and load balancing. Better data transmission is achieved maximizing performance.
