| QNAP showcased its first NAS expansion solution and SAS interface NAS models |
At the COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2012 opening, QNAP Systems, Inc. showcased its first NAS expansion solution with up to 400TB storage capacity, and new SAS interface NAS models, aiming to fulfill the storage needs of high-end SMBs. Also at the event QNAP displayed the full spectrum of its Turbo NAS series and VioStor NVR series, and presented the upgraded NAS management firmware V3.7 with numerous enhanced business and home environment applications.
400TB NAS solution
The new additions designed for the QNAP TS-x79 series Turbo NAS, the JB-1200U and JB-1600U, provide a flexible solution for IT administrators to expand the total capacity of the Turbo NAS up to 400TB, allowing businesses to start from small and add storage capacity according to budget allowances and growth requirements. "The great solution will relieve IT administrators from having to invest big at initial setup," said David Tsao, product manager of QNAP. "The solution can largely reduce inflexibility in IT budget allocation for businesses that do not see rapid growth of storage demand in the near future, but in some point of time afterward."
Trustworthy SAS NAS models
New Turbo NAS models with SAS hard drive support were presented to work in the data center environment. "We understand the importance of high reliability for business IT operations," commented David Tsao. "Turbo NAS models with SAS drives support answers business' needs for a reliable and trustworthy NAS solution for the sophisticated business IT environment."
New NAS V3.7 Firmware
QNAP also demonstrated the new V3.7 NAS management firmware. It provides highly anticipated features for advanced business applications with complete Windows ACL and user home folders. The mobility solution extends with new mobile apps of Qfile and Qmanager to provide easier Turbo NAS operations and management. Surveillance Station Pro further strengthens the surveillance features on the Turbo NAS. New features on system management, including enhanced network recycle bin, QNAP Finder for Mac and Linux, and the enhanced USB one-touch-copy, effectively raise business efficiency. New multimedia applications and enhancements of Photo Station, QiTunesAir, and Download Station further enrich recreational life with photos, music, and videos.
