QNAP Adds New Low Cost 4-Drive Turbo NAS Server Aimed At SOHO/Prosumer Users

New Desktop Model Features up to 8TB Capacity, Energy Efficient Marvell 800Mhz
CPU, 256MB of DDRII Memory, and Support for 2.5" and 3.5" Hard Drives

POMONA, Calif., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading
manufacturer of world class NAS servers, NVR Video Surveillance Systems, and
Network-based Video Players today expanded their Turbo NAS lineup with the
addition of the TS-410 desktop NAS server targeted specifically at the SOHO
and Prosumer market segments. The TS-410 features 4 hot-swappable SATA hard
drives with up to 8TB of total capacity (with 2TB drives) and supports 2.5" or
3.5" hard drives, giving users more flexibility in selecting drives for
installation. The TS-410 features a Marvell 800MHz CPU and 256MB DDRII memory
which provides sustained high performance with low power consumption. The TS-
410 can be configured for RAID 0/1/5/6/5+ spare, and JBOD with online RAID
capacity expansion and online RAID level migration for high data redundancy.
The TS-410 also supports iSCSI Target service with Thin Provisioning and dual
Gigabit LAN ports, features generally found on much higher end NAS servers.
The TS-410 also features 4 USB ports (1 front, 3 back panel) and 2 e-SATA
ports for expanding the storage capacity or backing up the TS-410.
The TS-410 is a smart choice for installation in home or home-based
business as it's fully compatible with Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and UNIX
networks and features a built-in UPnP/ DLNA media server (with TwonkyMedia
enabled) supporting a wide range of DLNA media players such as Sony(R) PS3 and
Microsoft(R) Xbox 360 gaming consoles. By installing the DLNA/ UPnP
application on your iPhone or iPod touch, users can access the TS-410 on the
home network and play videos, music, and photos from the server over the
network. In addition, the high-speed PC-less Download Station with the unique
QGet utility enables users to manage the BT/ FTP/ HTTP download tasks remotely
over the local network or the Internet. The TS-410 can perform centralized
backups of all computers attached to the network to protect valuable paid
downloaded music & video content, digital pictures, and documents.
"QNAP's new TS-410 is a great addition to a home network; especially where
lots of content is being downloaded and needs to be shared easily in mixed
networks that might include Macs, PCs, and even game consoles" said Meiji
Chang, CEO of QNAP Systems, Inc. "The TS-410 can easily and affordably handle
this and many other tasks including centralized backup so the downloaded
content on all the machines in the home network is protected." Mr. Chang
added.
The TS-410 comes with QNAP's new V3 of its NAS management software,
embedded as firmware, adding significant new features including virtual disk
drives support (up to 8 virtual disks via iSCSI expansion over the network),
exclusive QNAP RAID Recovery that can recover an inactive RAID 1, 5, or 6 due
to unintentional removal of drives. Network Discovery Services are enhanced
with new Bonjour support offering zero-configuration networking for HTTP,
SAMBA, FTP, AFP, and SSH based networks, and full UPnP support. Other new
features of the V3 firmware include EXT4 support for very large volumes and
file sizes, SNMP support, and bitmap support for faster rebuilding of RAID
volume after a crash or adding/removing a drive. Version 3 includes an all-
new AJAX-based web interface that is extremely easy to use and is broadly
compatible with popular web browsers.
QNAP offers the broadest lineup of NAS server enclosures currently
available. QNAP Turbo NAS series NAS servers are available in 1, 2, 4, 5, 6,
and 8-bay desktop (QNAP exclusive feature) and rack mount configurations to
fit the needs of consumer, small/medium business, workgroups, and entry-level
enterprise networks. QNAP NAS servers feature hot-swap removable cartridge
drives throughout the entire lineup, and offer unique features including
iSCSI,
and dual Gigabit LAN ports with fail-over, load-balancing and multi-IP setting
capabilities for all Intel-based models. QNAP NAS servers are ideal for simple
website hosting, ultra-high performance RAID storage supporting RAID 0, 1, 5,
6, and 5+ hot spare, stand-alone file downloading, network-wide backups,
printer sharing, video surveillance, and a whole lot more. QNAP NAS servers
are fully compatible with Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and UNIX networks and
incorporate green power management technologies.
