Caratteristiche

• Prestazioni senza pari
  Per gli utenti che hanno bisogno subito dei loro dati l’i5500/i4500R risolve ogni problema. L’i5500/i4500R grazie all’iSCSI vanta un throughput dati impareggiabile. Con una potente CPU Intel® XScale e 512MB di memoria DDR memory, l’i5500/i4500R offre prestazioni fulminee anche per il più esigente utente di storage.
• Capacità di espansione RAID senza interruzioni
  Dovete aggiungere capacità di storage all’i5500/i4500R ma non potete permettervi di spegnerlo? L’i5500/i4500R è dotato di capacità di espansione RAID online, che significa che gli utenti possono inserire dischi rigidi più grandi negli slot disponibili e aggiungerli a un RAID preesistente senza dover disattivare il sistema. L’i5500/i4500R ricostruirà automaticamente il vostro array RAID e aumenterà la capacità di storage senza perdere un secondo di lavoro.
• Gestione dinamica dei volumi
  Con l’i5500/i4500R tutto si svolge in nome della flessibilità. Con i5500/i4500R gli utenti possono cambiare le dimensioni dei volumi al volo, senza dover riavviare o reinstallare il sistema. Il vostro database sta cominciando a traboccare dallo spazio che gli avevate allocato all’inizio? Basta riconfigurare il volume dall’interfaccia web e assegnare la capaciltà inutilizzata al volume preesistnete senza interrompere il servizio.
• Abbordabile
  L’i5500/i4500R è di gran lunga il leader per prezzo/prestazioni. Anziché impostare una costosa e complicata rete fibre channel in ufficio per inviare dati a livello di blocchi, l’i5500/i4500R ottiene lo stesso risultato via iSCSI. Con i5500/i4500R gli utenti possono ottenere prestazioni molto vicine al livello offerto dal fibre channel a una frazione del costo.
• Integrazione facile
  Con le sue doppie porte Ethernet Gigabit, l’i5500/i4500R è stato progettato per integrarsi facilmente in infrastrutture di rete preesistenti. Collegate semplicemente l’i5500/i4500R alla vostra rete Ethernet e cominciate a gustarvi le leggendarie prestazioni e la protezione dei dati di Thecus.

Panoramica

In 2007 Thecus released its first rack mount 1U4500 NAS storage device. Aimed at SMBs, the 1U4500 offered incredible performance and a feature set that was never before seen on such a compact unit. This year, Thecus is poised to raise the bar yet again with its most powerful storage device yet – the i4500R. Delivering unprecedented iSCSI performance, uninterrupted data capacity expansion, and air-tight security in a cost effective package, the i4500R offers an unbeatable value proposition for enterprises looking to store and secure mission-critical data.

When businesses need access to their data, they need it fast. The i4500R comes with in Intel® Xscale IOP80331 CPU and 512MB of DDR memory under the hood. This enables the i4500R to deliver incredible iSCSI performance – up to twice the performance of its predecessor the 1U4500! With block level data transmission over regular Ethernet, businesses can forgo the prohibitive costs of implementing a fiber channel network altogether. The i4500R comes with four hot-swappable SATA drive bays that accommodate up to 4TB of storage. A wide selection of RAID modes including RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD as well as instant RAID volume availability, auto volume rebuilding, and support for up to 256 logical volumes offers unbeatable flexibility. And because downtime equals lost revenue, the i4500R also features online RAID expansion allowing businesses to increase their storage capacity without taking down their system. With the i4500R businesses can rest easy knowing they can access their data at all times.

Of course, keeping data safe and secure is also of prime importance. Included with the i4500R is Logical Unit Number (LUN) support, enabling administrators to specify read and write access to specific hosts accessing the unit through the iSCSI protocol. The i4500R also packs advanced data protection capabilities in its compact housing, including Local N-way mirroring, offline array roaming and smart faulty sector relocation. Compatibility with all major operating systems including Windows NT/XP/2003/Vista, Mac OS 9.1 and above including OSX, OSX Server and XSERVE, and all Linux builds with SCSI support ensures seamless integration with existing corporate environments. Administration can be conveniently performed through Thecus’ sterling web interface, and should something go amiss, the i4500R can notify administrators immediately via email or SNMP trap.

“We created the i4500R with total performance and security in mind,” notes Thecus General Manager Florence Shih. “Following in the footsteps of our acclaimed 1U4500, the i4500R represents a new industry benchmark for enterprise-level data storage devices, and is ideal for businesses looking for block level data transmission without the hassle and expense of fiber channel.”
