Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
Thank you for choosing the Thecus IP Storage Server. The Thecus IP storage is
an easy-to-use storage server that allows a dedicated approach to storing and
distributing data on a network. Data reliability is ensured with RAID features that
provide data security and recovery—over multiple Terabyte of storage are
available using RAID 5 and RAID 6. Gigabit Ethernet ports enhance network
efficiency, allowing Thecus IP storage to take over file management functions,
increase application and data sharing and provide faster data response. The
Thecus IP storage offers data mobility with a disk roaming feature that lets you
swap working hard drives for use in other Thecus IP storage, securing the
continuity of data in the event of hardware failure. The Thecus IP storage allows
data consolidation and sharing between Windows (SMB/CIFS), UNIX/Linux, and
Apple OS X environments. The Thecus IP storage’s user-friendly GUI supports
multiple Languages.
Product Highlights
File Server
First and foremost, the Thecus IP storage allows you to store and share files over
an IP network. With a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, you can centralize
your files and share them easily over your network. With the easy-to-use web-
based interface, users on your network can access these files in a snap.
FTP Server
With the built-in FTP Server, friends, clients, and customers can upload and
download files to your Thecus IP storage over the Internet with their favorite FTP
programs. You can create user accounts so that only authorized users have
access.
iTunes Server
With the built-in iTunes server capability, the Thecus IP storage enables digital
music to be shared and played anywhere on the network!
Printer Server
With the Thecus IP storage’s Printer Server, you can easily share an IPP printer
with other PCs connected to your network.
Multiple RAID
Thecus IP storage supports multiple RAID volumes on one system. So, you can
create RAID 0 for your non-critical data, and create RAID 1,5,6,50 or 60 (depend
on model) for mission-critical data. Create the RAID levels depending on your
needs.
iSCSI Capability
Thecus IP storage is not only a file server, but it also supports iSCSI initiators.
Your server can access Thecus IP storage as a direct-attached-storage over the
LAN or Internet. There is no easier way to expand the capacity of your current
application servers. All the storage needs can be centrally managed and deployed.
This brings ultimate flexibility to users.
