iTrends Reports on Thecus®’s New XXX NAS Series

“Thecus launches their XXX NAS series.”

“This is combined with the classic features that Thecus has on their NAS servers and so it can also be used as a DAS server, a name we came across a short time ago when we tested one such solution (Thecus's D0204).”

PC World Norway Has a Hankering for the Extreme

A preview of Thecus’s XXX series reveals much promise

“As these new models are being launched, Thecus is coming out with a major software update (v5.0) for many of its NAS models. The update will provide improvements in ease of use and functionality. In some areas the performance will be improved, including through adoption of the EXT4 file system. In addition, the functionality of Thecus NAS is already extensive. Besides traditional storage solutions…there are also add-ons that can be installed to provide additional functionality.”

Overview

The new XXX line of Thecus NAS is leading the way in catering to your needs. With Xtreme power, Xtreme function, and Xtreme value, these Thecus NAS deliver. Whether it be a strong product for a budget price or a high-powered NAS for the tech-savvy, each model is extremely geared towards fitting you. From an extremely speedy 2-bay for your home office to an extremely powerful 8-bay rackmount for even the most demanding enterprise, Thecus XXX NAS are ready for you.

To run a business in the modern world, flexibility is essential. Because of this, the server is slowly giving way to the NAS, especially among small and medium businesses. The N8200XXX takes the flexibility and functionality that Thecus has become known for and takes it even further. SMB’s will love it not only for its massive 24TB of data capacity, but also for its features that can turn a business into a community.

The N8200XXX becomes a place where everyone can share information and ideas. Today’s businesses are frequently working with large files in large groups, and this is the perfect way to get everyone on the same page. Posting large files on the public NAS is a great way to forgo the limitations of email and streamline cooperation. Internal news and product information can also be saved in a public location for everyone to access. The N8200XXX’s powerful Intel Atom D525 dual-core processor and DDR3 memory makes all of these processes run quickly and smoothly, even with heavy traffic.

Restricted or private folders are also easy to organize with Thecus’s new UI. iSCSI thin provisioning gives users flexible folders that eliminate wasted space left by fixed private folders. User quotas provide a new way of giving users private space across multiple RAID partitions. These functions provide additional practical ways of sharing and dividing space that caters to your company’s specific needs.

Functions that allow you to spend less time fussing with settings and more time focusing on what’s important are intrinsic to the N8200XXX, but some things in life just can’t be expressed in a PPT. The N8200XXX features Thecus’s new advanced Piczza photo server to share just those things. Company parties, client dinners, and conference photos can be posted for all to see, as well as photos of more personal events such as birthday parties, weddings, and newborn babies. Maintaining a bright and happy workplace is as important as anything for success, and the N8200XXX gives you the power to do just that.
