Overview

Storage networks become more and more complex. If you need to easily expand storage capacity while providing uninterrupted high-performance data access across your LAN. You may want to consider a NAS (Network Attached Storage) appliance. When budgets are tight and a quick fix is required, a NAS appliance is a low-cost, efficient solution to dodge that network-to-storage logjam. That's why more and more users select NAS architecture as their storage networking.

The DN-500A-CM (SATA II NAS Subsystem) is a reliable, cost-effective way to add storage to the network. It comes with 5 drive trays accommodating 3.5" SATA II drives while SCA II single connector architecture enables true hot swap capability. Built-in Intel Celeron 1.6G CPU (or above), up to 4GB DDR2 533/667MHz SDRAM and two Gigabit Ethernet ports offers high performance NAS platform. Linux based embedded OS design, it can boot without HDD, FDD or CD-ROM to guarantee reliability and quick boot. The DN-500A-CM system is managed and configured by Flex / Ruby browser based software, including pre-configure disk capacity, users setting, volume management, quick installed on popular network platform, Multi protocol support, etc... Equipped with RAID function to offer fault tolerant data protection. It is a full featured data protection supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Linear(JBOD).

System reliability is ensured by an environmental monitoring unit, which tracks the enclosure temperature as well as individual disk temperatures. If any irregularity in these systems occurs, the monitoring unit alerts the administrator.
