N8900

Full-Featured 2U Rackmount NAS Server

High-end data centers often need a
level of speed that today’s average
Internet cannot provide. This Thecus

NAS is 10Gb Ethernet ready to satisfy

the toughest needs of today and tomorrow.

The next generation of connectivity
is here with speeds 10x faster than
USB 2.0. Whether connecting digital

cameras and smart phones, backing
up large external hard drives, or extending the capacity of your
NAS, USB 3.0 will make sure it's done in no time at up to 5 Gbit/s.
Backwards compatibility adds the connectivity of a world full of
USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices to get the best combination of
speed and universal access.

A Disk On Module (DOM) contains all
of the system's critical software. If it

stops working for any reason, your
system rmware could be inaccessible - or worse. With Thecus®'
unique Dual DOM (OS Redundancy) design, a secondary DOM
automatically reprograms the primary DOM if it fails, meaning
your data is always safe and accessible.

Thecus’ innovative hardware helps

prevent failures. But sometimes you

have to protect the NAS against itself.

Adding an antivirus to the already
comprehensive software bundle will provide the necessary
software protection by scanning the les on your NAS and
defending it against possible threats. McAfee is the world’s
largest dedicated security technology company and shares
Thecus’ spirit of dedication and quality. By establishing a strong
partnership with them, Thecus will allow users the benet of
McAfee’s powerful software on their NAS entirely for free.

Divide the massive storage of a
Thecus NAS among multiple users.
Whether there are two users or 100,

user quotas make it easy to divvy up

and manage disk space.

When it comes to data management,
Thecus NAS truly let you have it your
way. Create multiple RAID volumes

each supporting dierent RAID
modes including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10,50, 60 and JBOD for your own
balance of performance and data protection. Should a hard drive
malfunction occur, changing one is simple thanks to online RAID
migration and expansion, hot spare, and auto rebuild.

Get the most out of your storage
space with the extreme speed of
iSCSI and the eciency of iSCSI thin

provisioning. Connect through iSCSI for the fastest data
transfer speeds available and make wasted disk space a thing of
the past with thin provisioning's exible storage functionality.

Thecus NAS products are ready for a
number of emerging technologies.
Through the built in PCI-e slot,

business users can add a 10G Ethernet
Adaptor for lighting fast transfer speeds, or a USB 3.0 Adaptor
Card to enjoy next-generation connectivity.
