Because link aggregation does not require significant changes to hardware, it is also a cost-effective means of improving network performance. Employing link aggregation will optimize resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and help in avoiding overload. Thecus NAS support 7 flavors of link aggregation: Load Balance, Failover, 802.3ad, Balance-XOR, Balance-TLB, Balance-ALB, and Broadcast.

Great Scalability Cost Effective Daisy-Chaining and Volume Expansion Cost Effective With daisy chaining, users now have the ability to cost effectively 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. Total Capacity 474TB X 8 Units = ** 3.8PB Volume Expansion x 8 SAS 10GbE Dynamic Thecus dynamic volume expansion is a key solution for corporations and heavy data users who require large amounts of storage. By utilizing a 10GbE switch, enterprises have the flexibility to add up to eight target devices to a single NAS stack. Daisy Chain N16000PRO Total Capacity 6TB X (16 Bays X 5 Units -1)*= 474TB * For example using RAID 5 ** 3.8 Petabytes is the current theoretical limit for this storage architecture. D16000 Advanced Virtualization Flexiable Storage Management with Resource Optimization iscsi Thin-Provisioning is available on the majority of Thecus NAS. This advanced feature allows administrators to create up to 5 iscsi Thin-Provisioned targets. These iscsi targets will then share physical storage space from the iscsi Thin-Provisioned volume. iscsi Thin-Provisioning prevents administrators from over-provisioning physical storage space before it is actually needed, thus greatly reducing capital spending on storage for businesses of all scales. Virtual Machine Virtual Machine Virtual Machine Application Application Application OS OS OS VMware ESXi 5.5 Certified iscsi/nfs VMware 5.5 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.

Data Security at Every Level Bundled with Free McAfee Antivirus FREE BUNDLED Fault tolerance up to RAID 60 Intel Security (McAfee) Adding an antivirus to the already comprehensive software bundle will provide the necessary software protection by scanning the files 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 benefit of McAfee s powerful software on their NAS entirely for free. The Thecus AES 256bit RAID Volume Encryption feature allows users to encrypt RAID volumes on their NAS with a writable USB disk. Once a RAID volume has been encrypted, no one will be able to access it to retrieve data or modify settings without the USB disk containing the encrypted key. As a result, users data will be 100% secure - even if someone steals their hard drives or even the entire NAS server. AES 256-bit Receiving Sending Storing Protect Your Data SSL/TLS SSH SFTP HTTPS Centralized Authentication Control Centralized Management and Monitoring If you prefer to use Windows Active Directory Server (ADS) to handle the domain security in your network, you can simply enable the ADS support feature. Your Thecus NAS will then automatically connect to the ADS server and obtain all the necessary information about your domain users and groups. AD Server Internet Samba/CIFS Router NFS Switch AFP
