HA System Redundancy
Running two NAS side by side, HA keeps both up to date and
ready to run any and all data functions. These NAS clones
automatically synchronize their content through a “Heartbeat”
connection. If one NAS has a problem, not only will you be able
to x it without data loss using the protection of RAID and
other Thecus® backup methods, the healthy backup NAS will
take the reins and ensure continuous data service even in the
face of hardware failure.

10GbE Ethernet & 7 Modes of Link Aggregation
With a built-in PCI-e slot, business users can easily add a 10G Ethernet adaptor for
lightning fast transfer speeds, proving again that Thecus NAS are designed to satisfy
the toughest needs of today and tomorrow.
Link aggregation is a method used to bond multiple links between your NAS and
your switch to optimize your connection, increasing your network’s capacity
while maintaining a stable transmission speed. Employing link aggregation will
optimize resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and
help in avoiding overload. Thecus NAS support 7 ‘avors’ of link aggregation: Load
Balance, Failover, 802.3ad, Balance-XOR, Balance-TLB, Balance-ALB, and Broadcast.

Thecus System Failover
The Thecus System Failover feature is a fault tolerance
process that creates mirrored data volumes. With at least
two Thecus NAS available, data is copied by scheduled
backups and all changes are mirrored between the two NAS. In
the event of a power or network failure, a scheduled
maintenance, or other unforeseen circumstances, System
Failover automatically redirects operations to the secondary
Thecus NAS, which then acts as the primary NAS.

Advanced Virtualization with
VMWare ESXi 6.0 Certied
With a VMware® Ready certied Thecus NAS, business users
can utilize their NAS together with VMware® servers to build
virtual infrastructure and create virtual machines (VMs). On
virtual machines, dierent operating systems can be set up
and numerous applications can be installed on each OS so as
to carry out various tasks. A Thecus NAS with a VMware®
server will form a unied pool of resources that can be used by
VMs to run applications. Compared with traditional single
servers with single sets of applications models, virtual
infrastructures signicantly reduce operating costs, lower
electricity consumption, and increase overall hardware
resource utilization. The Thecus enterprise line also includes
Citrix Ready and Certied for Windows Server® 2008 R2
solutions.

VMware 6.0 brings many powerful virtual computing
features to Thecus NAS users, including easier and more
powerful snapshots and cloning, functionality for
simpler handling of multiple virtual machines, improved
networking performance, and support for even more
host and guest operating systems.
Citrix® XenServer™ is the only enterprise-class,
cloud-proven server virtualization platform that delivers
critical features such as live migration and centralized
multi-server management at no cost.
Designed for line-of-business and mission-critical
applications, the Certied for Windows Server 2008 R2
logo demonstrates that Thecus enterprise solution
meets Microsoft's highest technical bar for stability,
security, reliability, availability, Windows fundamentals,
and platform compatibility.

Massive Expansion Possible using
Cost-Eective Daisy-Chaining
With daisy chaining, users now have the ability to cost
eectively increase their storage volume while
maintaining fast transfers. To set up a daisy chain, one
master NAS unit is installed as a controller with up to four DAS
linked as slaves. SAS cables are then used to link the units
together in order to ensure rapid speeds. The ability to reach
tremendous capacities while saving nearly 30% on hardware
costs (versus traditional storage architecture) is something
truly groundbreaking in the industry.
