Thecus Adds 12- and 16-Bay Rackmount NAS

Thecus Technology Corp. is releasing a line of NAS that takes on a growing part of the market: high-capacity, high-value storage.

The value, or ‘V’ line supplement existing full lineup of NAS, by giving users a choice between more value and more power. These new NAS combine the new line of Intel processors and Thecus’s potent software to provide a solution that can accommodate a spectrum of business and personal storage and computing needs.

                       N16000V

Two NAS packed with hardware innovations
The N12000V and N16000V are bundled with pieces of hardware innovations. They rely on Intel Xeon Processor E3-1225 Quad Core at 3.10 GHz.

Thanks to their multiple PCI-e slots,
the N12000V/N16000V benefit from:

• SAS controller: to support current and future disks, up to 15,000rpm.
• USB 3.0 ports: up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0
• 10GBASE-T Ethernet adapter: to connect to 10GbE networks with a regular Ethernet cable (CAT6 with RJ45 plug)

Those two models feature a HDMI output.

A software suit
Delivered with the same 64-bits software as their regular versions, they come with the Thecus-HA (High Availability): instant NAS cloning and service recovery in case of hardware failure.

Buying a centralized unit such as Thecus NAS will reduce maintenance costs, diminish investment and remain flexible: iSCSI capabilities for dynamic space allocation, Citrix and VMware certifications for virtualized environments, all the common and uncommon RAID levels for redundancy, compatibility with all network protocols, distant access over Internet, etc.

Functions can be added on the fly thanks to the Thecus module system.

Each N12000V and N16000V come bundled with one Acronis Backup Software.

"While IT budgets are tightening, the need for quality high-capacity NAS has, paradoxically, never been so strong within professional environments. Combining Thecus quality standards, innovations and high-value hardware, the V series is designed to bring customers alternative solutions and help them to manage their critical resources without crippling their budget," says Florence Shih, General Manager of Thecus Technology Corp.
