Fujitsu Launches NAS With 4-Bay Drive

Fujitsu today launches the CELVIN NAS Server Q800, providing an all-in-one system for local NAS backup and file sharing at an affordable price.

The system is targeted at mid-size and small business, plus home-office based workers that want to introduce flexible, centralised data sharing between computers and users on a local network.

For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), the CELVIN NAS Server Q800 model is a central store for frequently accessed data that is shared between multiple users – such as databases, customer records and e-commerce ordering systems. With the CELVIN NAS Server, Fujitsu is targeting businesses whose data is currently pooled using less robust or slower pools of storage, such as USB drives, and file server disks. By switching to a dedicated NAS server, customers can expect fast transfer rates and response times.

The CELVIN NAS Server checks all the boxes when it comes to performance, stability and reliability. In addition to the data transfer speeds across Ethernet networks, customers can count on reliability with a dual operating system with Disk on Memory (DoM) in case of network issues. In addition, dual Gigabit ports and a new Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) provide additional protection.

A significant consideration for growing companies is cross-platform support for Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix, allowing businesses to grow and evolve without any platform restrictions. For companies with huge files to transfer, the CELVIN NAS Server Q800 allows business owners to leverage the ‘cross-platform’ features to share files with different corporate customers, resolving issues of platform conflicts. In addition, the CELVIN NAS Server Q800 provides optional Joomla, a content management system based on Integrated Structured Query Language (SQL) server.

The system is also designed for expansion to ensure that it continues to meet business needs – as a second CELVIN Q800 unit can be added on, doubling capacity to a maximum up to 8TB. The step-by-step scaling capacity is a flexible and affordable solution for small and medium business users who want to avoid a huge investment of an oversized infrastructure.

Paul Craddock, static client product marketing manager at Fujitsu UK and Ireland says: "Fujitsu understands that small businesses and home offices need a flexible, affordable server solution. Fujitsu’s CELVIN NAS Server Q800 enables centralised data management at a reasonable price, providing IT administrators with the flexibility to grow IT infrastructures along with their business, and reliability they can trust."

The CELVIN NAS Q800 Server will be available from November 1, 2010.
