QNAP : TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS ( $ 980 ) Modern business requires a centralized data center to protect information asset, back up critical data, share the information among workgroups or departments. A solid, efficient, and flexible data backup system is the key to greater business agility and also an increasingly important task for IT administrator. QNAP TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS is the new generation all-in-one NAS server for SMB and enterprises. It offers the most reliable and powerful storage solution. With superior performance, versatile server features, best-in-class RAID data protection, and rock-solid hot-swappable hard drive design, the TS-509 Pro brings business nowadays a truly new experience of instant data access and sharing, a protected mass storage, value-plus server features at the lowest maintenance cost. Powered by Intel Celeron 1.6GHz CPU, 1GB DDRII memory, the 5-bay, hot- swappable TS-509 Pro delivers superior performance for multiple business applications and intensive concurrent data access. The Linux OS and applications of the TS-509 Pro are embedded in the flash DOM that higher stability is guaranteed. Moreover, the dual Gigabit LAN ports can be configured as Failover, Load balancing, or serving two different subnets which enables more deployment options in a business network environment. Advanced RAID redundancy with expandability and upgradeability Advanced RAID configurations, RAID 0/ 1/ 5/ 6/ 5+Spare and JBOD are all supported. With Online RAID Capacity Expansion, users can select to purchase the most cost-effective hard drives for initial server setup and upgrade to larger ones in the future. With Online RAID Level Migration, users can start from one drive firstly and add more to upgrade the RAID level in the future with the data retained. The Most Affordable and Flexible iSCSI <http://www.qnap.com/pro_application.asp?ap_id=135> Solution The TS-509 Pro can serve as a NAS and an iSCSI target server. The built- in iSCSI target feature provides an affordable IP-SAN (Storage Area Network) alternative for SMB. The server managers can set up the NAS to expand the storage capacity for existing application servers, such as database server and mail server in an economic way. Moreover, the innovative "Virtual Space Allocation" (Thin Provisioning) feature is provided which allows the server managers to flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI LUN (Logical Unit Number) at the beginning regardless of the physical volume capacity. Secure Data Protection by AES 256-bit Volume-based Encryption The TS-509 Pro's dominant "volume-based encryption" feature secures the server data by AES 256-bit encryption. Even if the hard drives were stolen, there is no need to fear that the confidential data would be leaked since the data can only be accessed by an authorized password. Easy setup, low-cost maintenance The handy LCD display on the TS-509 Pro provides a speedy and easy approach for IT administrators to initialize the NAS and set up the RAID configuration without using any computer. The system information and settings are also displayed for easy management. The schedule power on/off feature is available on the TS-509 Pro for IT administrators to flexibly manage the NAS server's up time according to the working hours. Also, the smart Wake on LAN is supported for convenient remote wakeup of the NAS in the local network.
High Performance NAS for Business Superior Performance NetBench is a benchmark program that measures the performance of a file server in handling file I/O requests. It is a useful indicator of the performance of NAS device/ file server when it is simultaneously accessed by multiple users. <http://www.qnap.com/images/products/NAS/TS590Pro/feature24.jpg> The test results show that TS-509 Pro delivers superior performance (over 300Mbps when serving 16 clients), under single disk configuration. The throughput of other NAS brands of the same level only reaches a half or less than that of QNAP TS-509 Pro. It reflects the TS-509 Pro's capability as the best file server solution in a business environment. DOM Architecture with Embedded Fail-safe Dual OS All the OS and applications are embedded on the DOM. The TS-509 Pro allows system booting without accessing the physical disk sectors and that prevents unsuccessful system startup caused by bad block sectors or file errors on the hard drives. Two operating systems are built on the DOM for system booting alternatively upon every system startup. When one fails, the other one will be used to boot up instead, and the failed OS is recoverable from the other healthy OS. Advanced RAID Management with Hot-swap Design The NAS offers advanced RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 5 + Spare, Single, and JBOD disk configurations. It also supports hot-swap design that a failed drive can be replaced by hot swapping without turning off the server. Besides, the best-in-class RAID on the NAS brings users a higher level of data security by allowing one more hard drive failure than other NAS of the same level. Online RAID Capacity <http://www.qnap.com/pro_features_RLM.asp> Expansion The storage capacity of a RAID configuration can be expanded by replacing the hard drives with larger ones. All the data will be kept and seamlessly moved to the newly installed hard drives. There is no need to turn off the server during the process. Online RAID <http://www.qnap.com/pro_features_RLM.asp> Level Migration Users can upgrade the disk configuration to higher RAID level with the data retained. There is no need to turn off the server during the process. Built-in iSCSI Target <http://www.qnap.com/pro_application.asp?ap_id=135> Service For small business, a high-performance and flexible storage expansion solution for the existing application servers is required. However, DAS (Direct Attached Storage) is not an efficient solution and a Fiber Channel SAN is too expensive and complicated to implement. The TS-509 Pro can act as a NAS and iSCSI target server at the same time. It provides a cost-efficient iSCSI solution to set up an IP-SAN. The server manager can make use of the built-in iSCSI target service to add up to 8 iSCSI devices. Different iSCSI Target LUNs (Logical Unit Number) can be defined as storage expansion or backup destination of the existing application servers, such as database servers and mail servers. Furthermore, the innovative "Virtual Space Allocation" (Thin Provisioning) feature is provided which allows the server manager to flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI LUN (Logical Unit Number) at the beginning stage without the limitation of the volume space. When the physical storage capacity of the volume is going to be full, the server manager can easily expand the storage capacity by "online RAID capacity expansion", or adjust/ remove the current unused volume space according to the demands.

Dual Gigabit LAN Ports for More Deployment Options Network Failover Failover allows the NAS to sustain the failure of one network port to provide continuous services. Load-Balancing Bandwidth aggregation is supported to boost the file transfer speed (works with managed Ethernet switch with 802.3ad configured). Multi-IP Setting The NAS can be deployed with two different IP settings for sharing among different workgroups in two different subnets. Complete Backup Solutions QNAP Backup Software - NetBak Replicator The backup software, NetBak Replicator, is provided for the NAS users to perform real-time synchronization or schedule backup from multiple PCs to the NAS. 3rd Party Backup Software Ready The NAS works well with other backup software, e.g. Acronis True Image, CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup, EMC Retrospect, Symantec Backup Exec, and LaCie Silverkeeper. Remote Replication by Rsync Data on the NAS can be backed up to or from another Turbo NAS or Rysnc server over the network securely. One Touch USB Auto Copy The one touch button can be configured to trigger instant data backup from the external USB device to the NAS or the other way round (applies to the USB device connected to the front USB port of the NAS only). S.M.A.R.T. & Advanced HDD Health Scanning (HHS) The NAS supports Hard Disk Drive S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) for monitoring the hard drive status. Moreover, the NAS is embedded with HHS Technology which supports disk checking and bad blocks scanning. Hard Disk Standby You can configure the hard disks to enter standby mode if there is no disk access within the specified period. Schedule Power on/ off The flexible schedule power on/off feature is now provided on the NAS for IT administrators to manage the NAS server's up time according to the working hours. You can set the time for automatic system power on, power off, or restart on any days of the week. UPS Support The NAS supports the majority of USB UPS devices (usbhid-ups supported) which enables the users to store the data in time and avoid critical data loss when power outage occurs during data transfer. Sharing files across Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX The NAS is specially designed for different users to share the files across Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX environment.
